‘Only 5 more days’: The Kid Laroi confirms he’ll soon be releasing his single Stay with Justin Bieber


Last month he signed a management deal with Justin Bieber’s longtime rep Scooter Braun. 

And now Australian rap superstar The Kid Laroi has confirmed he’ll soon release a single with his American pop star stablemate.

Both Laroi, 17, and Bieber, 27, took to their respective Twitter accounts to hint at the track’s likely July 9 release date in the United States.

Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, cryptically tweeted ‘Only 5 more days wowowow’ on Monday, after multiple tweets using the hashtag ‘#StayIsComing’.

They followed an earlier Bieber tweet in which he suggested July 9 would be the date their joint track would drop.

The duo previously worked together on Bieber’s track Unstable, from his Justice album.

The musicians have been spending time together lately, with Laroi last month sharing a photo to Instagram of himself posing alongside the Baby hitmaker.

Despite still being a teenager, Laroi seemed to tower over the older singer.

Fans noticed the height difference, with one commenting: ‘Since when is Kid Laroi 7’4”?’

Another commented: ‘When did u get so tall man?’

‘This man 17 and taller than JB,’ added another, who followed their comment up with multiple skull emojis.

Laroi is 5ft 7in tall, while Bieber is slightly taller at 5ft 9in, according to various websites that document celebrities’ heights.

Since the pair’s feet weren’t visible in the photo, fans speculated that Laroi may have been wearing high boots or standing on something to look taller than Bieber. 

The Kid Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, recently made history as the youngest solo artist to top the Australian album charts.

And now he’s on a mission to showcase his home country’s rap scene to the world.

‘I don’t think America is completely switched on to how big [and] great the Australian music scene and culture is, but I think that’s kind of my job to shed light,’ he told Triple J last month.

The Waterloo-born star said he’s long dreamed of putting Sydney’s rap scene on the map ‘the way Drake did with Toronto’.

Born in Canada, rapper Drake often gushes about his home city of Toronto in his music, and even boasts a number of Toronto-themed tattoos.

Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, added: ‘You have to do it in a way where people get it and really see it for what it really is; how great the scene really is.’

‘That’s the most important thing – I don’t want people to overlook it or think because it’s my country, I really want people to recognise Australia is the f**king future of music, in my opinion.’
