Justin Bieber claims that he’s retiring, but he can’t seem to get out of the studio. The 19-year-old superstar was recently in the lab with none other than Kid Cudi. In the photo, which he posted on Instagram, Biebs strike a pose in front of the console, while Cudder throws up the middle finger.

“Studio with kid cudi,” tweeted Bieber.

Outside of the studio, he is hooking up again with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. He shared a photo of them cuddling, writing, “Love the way you look at me.”

Meanwhile, Cudi is putting the finishing touches on his EP KiD CuDi Presents Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon and offered a teaser last month with “Satellite Flight.”
