Meek Mill is closing out the week on a positive note.
Following his ugly online exchange with Nicki Minaj, the Philadelphia rapper came through with "Believe"—his much-anticipated collaboration with Justin Timberlake. Fans have been waiting on the track since October, when the former NSYNC member confirmed he and Meek were cooking something up in the studio.
"I just called my publishers and I said, 'You know, I just want to work with young, fresh people, and I want to collaborate more," Timberlake explained to Entertainment Tonight. "I've been songwriting and producing for so long -- I want to experience that energy, and I want to work with people that I think are truly amazing ... I worked with SZA the other day and just worked with Meek Mill. I'm having these experiences that are fueling me in such a different way and, again, I think it was really birthed out of feeling like, what can I do right now to just be a part of my community and integrate."
Several months later, Meek posted a clip of what appeared to be a video shoot for the record. "I hope you still believe in me @justintimberlake," he captioned the post. "2020 gone be different."
Fast-forward to this week, when the Dream Chasers boss confirmed the release of "Believe" and an accompanying visual directed by Maxime Quoilin. Meek said the track was "for motivational purposes only!"
