The tweets came a year after a radio interview where Justin asked the infamous "who's Shawn Mendes?" question. At the time, the "What Do You Mean" singer looked bewildered when he was asked if he had any advice for the "Stitches" hitmaker.
"Who's Shawn Mendes?" Justin said while inserting a plastic soda cap into his mouth. The host got surprised by the singer's reaction and said, "Oh! He's on Island. He's from southern Ontario. He's 17 years old. He's got a song called 'Stitches' that's, like, doing okay at pop radio."
"Nice. Nice. Good for him," the "Sorry" singer said while chewing on the cap. "Oh! Oh wow, so you don't even know... I thought for sure you might because he's also from southern Ontario," the host responded. Justin then said, "No. No, I don't know him. But I will check him out. For sure."
Shawn earned his second No. 1 album on Billboard 200 with "Illuminate" this week, being one of only five artists including Justin, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff and LeAnn Rimes to have scored their first two No. 1 albums at such a young age.
