Kanye bilebe it? Kanye West has been "putting the finishing touches" to Justin Bieber's new album 'Believe'.

The pair were snapped working together in a New York studio by Bieber's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton, confirming reports that they were collaborating on the pop squirt's album.

He tweeted:

Putting the finishing touches on the album and it's gonna be special!@justinbieber and @kanyewest #Believe instagr.am/p/J8abtjtqy2/

Meanwhile, at a London press conference last week, Bieber said he'd written "a song about that whole situation with that girl who said she's having my baby - Mariah Yeater."

He added of the track: "It's about everything I've gone through." Bieber had earlier taken to his Twitter page to aim another dig at Yeater, stating the pair had never met and posting an audio clip of Sacha Baron Cohen's character Borat chiming "you will never get over this".

Yeater had claimed that her son Tristyn was fathered by Bieber when he was 16. Bieber offered to take a paternity test before the case was dropped and Yeater's ex-boyfriend apparently confessed to being the child's father.
