Canadian rapper Drake has revealed that while working on his brand new album, 'Take Care', he almost had the chance to duet with superstar Justin Timberlake. 

Speaking to Billboard.com, the 'Forever' hitmaker explained that he wanted to get in the studio with Timberlake and even "came so close", but his busy schedule meant that the plans never materialised: 

"I mean I really wanted to work with Justin Timberlake on this project and we came so close man, so close. He's just super busy, and not in the music mindset right now as far as creating."

He even admitted that he picked out a song for the 'SexyBack' singer, who is currently focusing on his acting career, to collborate on with him and added:

"The song was gonna be dope. It was solid - a solid little look. But he's so immersed in the acting thing, and I don't blame him, he's doing great at it. He was just like, 'I really want to work, I just can't do it right now. But we'll work as soon as I'm back in the studio.'"

"So he gave me his word on that, so I'm looking forward to looking with him. Even just giving him some ideas, writing, him working with [producer Noah "40" Shebib], I think that would just sound crazy, Justin Timberlake and 40."

'Take Care' will be officially released tomorrow, November 15, despite leaking earlier last week. Check out Drake's new album's title track, which also features Rihanna, below:
