Bieber to rap with Wahlberg

Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber has responded to Mark Wahlberg's offer of collaborating in the studio.

Wahlberg was a rapper in the 1990s, using the name Marky Mark, with his band The Funky Bunch, and the 39-year-old recently joked that he wanted to revive his music career by working with Bieber.

He said, "If Justin Bieber asked me, I'd do that for my daughter - she loves me to death, but she doesn't think I'm very cool, so that might turn it around."

The teen star accepted Wahlberg's offer today and wrote on his Twitter page, "No joke @mark_wahlberg is beast. The Other Guys was great and 4 Brothers was no joke. We need to make that record. he needs to rap again. I will rap too. deal?"
