From MTV.com:
As it turns out, the real Justin Bieber finds the whole video pretty hilarious.
“Yeah yeah yeah! I saw it! It was hilarious. I loved the video,” Bieber told MTV News. “He did a great job and the so-called Justin Bieber in the video was hilarious.”
And while Bieber gives a big “maybe” to collaborating with Raaaaaaaandy in the future, Ansari has made it clear on his Twitter page that he’s serious about getting Bieber back for the plagiarism. “Swear I just saw 12 yr old with a doo rag … messing w/my car. Brakes might get cut,” he joked. “#BiebersAfterMe.”

From Pitchfork:
Fans of comedian Aziz Ansari know the guy loves hip-hop. … And now he’s putting out a rap mixtape under his blowjob-obsessed hip-hop comedian guise, Raaaaaaaandy (as seen in Funny People). TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek is producing it along with L.A.’s the Have and Baltimore’s DJ Granwizerd. For fans of comedy, rap, and life itself, this is amazing news.
According to Sitek, the as-yet-unnamed tape is due in February and will feature “all original music and guest MCs,” who will be named soon.
From Aziz’s Tumblr:
If everything we have in mind comes together, I can promise three things:
1. Y’all ain’t ready.
2. Motherfuckers need to know.
3. Get yo’ shit.
