Justin Bieber Is Seeking a Jay-Z Collaboration

Besides driving teenage girls crazy, Justin Bieber also has a few fans in the hip-hop world. The 17-year-old collaborated with Kanye West and Raekwon for the 'Runaway Love' remix and is hoping to raise the stakes for his next album.

"I would love to work with Jay-Z," Bieber told the BoomBox. "Just a cool fun record."

Coming off of an amazing couple of years that provided him hit records and a hit movie, Bieber, who took home a total of six awards at the Sunday (May 22) night Billboard Music Awards, remains humbled by his accolades. "I'm amazed to get any awards, but I really like the [Top] New Artist [award]. It's great to be acknowledged anywhere, but just to have that respect, it feels good."

As for that future Jay-Z and Bieber collaboration, that might not happen for a while considering the 'Blueprint 3' singer has been hard at work on a joint-album with West. Titled 'Watch the Throne,' the two rappers are reportedly finishing up the effort, so Bieber might have to wait a little before Jay-Z can pencil him into his schedule.

This year's Billboard Music Awards featured performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, the latter two who both performed with Britney Spears. The night's big winners included Usher and Rihanna who each took home three awards, and Beyonce who received the Millennium Award.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Invited to Perform at the Royal Reception

It has been reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton have asked Beyoncé and her husband rap legend Jay-Z to perform at their wedding reception.

According to The Daily Star, a source close to the royal couple said, "Both William and Kate are massive fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. They really wanted to make their big day even more special and what better way than by getting pop royalty to perform at the party?"

The source continued, "Will and Kate will have an official reception for hundreds of dignitaries before throwing a less formal bash for loved-ones. They both wanted to ditch traditions and make it more personal for them."

Beyoncé is currently in Europe where she is promoting her new single 'Girls Who Run the World' and Jay-Z is accompanying her.

The source is sure that it would be "highly likely" that the power couple would accept the invite to perform at the royal reception adding. "After all, who would turn down a once-in-a- lifetime gig like that?" the source said.

The palace has refused to neither confirm nor deny whether Beyonce and Jay-Z have accepted the invitation to perform.

A few days ago, a "selected" list of royals and celebs who are confirmed as wedding guests had been revealed.

Brits David and Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John were no surprises, but the list also confirmed the attendance of director Guy Ritchie, singer Joss Stone, Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe and quirky 'Mr. Bean' star Rowan Atkinson.
