Kanye West has now been infected by Bieber fever.

While the result would be an exercise in genre-crossing defiance, word of a possible collaboration between West and Justin Bieber, plus rapper Raekwon has been drifting in from the Twittersphere, where fans were live witness to talk of the team-up.

"Listening to @ Justin Bieber 'Run Away love,' " West tweeted yesterday. "I love Sunday mornings in the crib."

The “Power” singer revealed how he had the track on repeat, before going on to explain that he had a song with a similar title on his own new album, “Dark Twisted Fantasy,” due out November. "Will your Itunes break if you play a song to many times????????!!!!!!!!!!! Runaway Loooooooooooooove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he posted. 

It wasn’t long before the Biebs trilled back: "It's not a so what moment for me. I'm 16 and a fan. I'm kinda hyped u are listening to my stuff. Thank u. Nice sunday morning," the Canadian teenager replied.

West then proposed the two get together in the studio with Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon. “I'm honored that you like my Music @JustinBieber!!!" West posted. "You gotta hear the album. Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon."

He also suggested that Raekwon could work his magic on Bieber’s infectious pop: "Maybe me and Rae should hop on Runaway Love! FLEX would drop bombs!"

Bieber came back to say he plays an accoustic version of West’s "Heartless" song in his shows, adding: "Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = EPIC. Might sound crazy 2 u but even having this convo is living the dream. Thanks."

Raekwon stayed out of the love-in, but showed he was up for the collaboration by re-tweeting Bieber's reply. We can’t wait!
