Last month Dua and pop star Ariana Grande also teased a collaboration, however we'll have to wait to hear more on that.
The music video for Dua's latest single 'IDGAF' also dropped last month and saw the singer have a dance-off against herself! The 'IDGAF' music video already has 91 million views so it could be on for the 1 billion mark too!
