Are Bruno Mars and Sexyy Red creating the next great strip-club anthem? Bruno Mars has a lot to celebrate this week with both of his latest collaborations topping the Billboard charts.

Bruno has topped both the Billboard Hot 100 with his Lady Gaga collab “Die With a Smile” and the Billboard Global 100 with his Rosé collab “APT.” Bruno took to Instagram to share his chart-topping news while ending his post mentioning a very specific way that he wants to celebrate, “THANK YOU ALL! ? I’m headed to the studio right now to make a strip club anthem so I can celebrate and properly act up this weekend. Someone please help me get in touch with Sexyy Red!!?”

Not one to miss out on a good time, the “Get It Sexyy” rapper quickly responded on Twitter. She first responded with, “I heard Bruno say he lookin for ah real bthc baby I’m right hur @BrunoMars ??‍♀️”

Then Sexyy Red and Bruno Mars had a playful back and forth with Red tweeting, “Heyyyyyy Bruno! @BrunoMars ?” to which he replied, “There she is. ♥️”
