Revered producer Diplo, who has worked with everyone from Future to Madonna, recently admitted there’s one artist on his radar he simply can’t land — Rihanna. In an interview with GQ, the Major Lazer mastermind said, “I just want her on a Major Lazer song. She’s like the one artist that we can’t ever get.”
According to Diplo, that’s because RiRi thinks his music sounds like something played at the airport. Diplo attempted to play the Barbados beauty a track during a session with Future, the Weeknd and Metro Boomin, but she wasn’t having it.
“I was so contact high,” Diplo said. “Future played her, like, 700 songs. It was four in the morning. Finally, I was like, ‘Yo, G, I’m leaving unless you let me play her a song.’ So I played her a song. And she was like, ‘This sounds like a reggae song at an airport [laughs].’ I was like, ‘I’m gonna go kill myself.'”
He said he thought they’d eventually posse up on a track in the future, but added, “If not, I don’t really care.”
When he’s not trying to convince RiRi to collaborate, Diplo is busy working on his new VICELAND show, What What Diplo Do?, and making bad jokes about R. Kelly. Meanwhile, the superstar singer is breaking the internet with photos of her elaborate costumes.
People care what this thot thinks?
The way she lookin these days with those curves, she can talk about janitorial work and I’ll give a damn.
Fat and a nasty five headed thot. Pass
To each their own. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
Who cares…?
Has Rihanna ever listened to her own music?
He shouldn’t feel bad. She doesn’t even write her own lyrics or music.
I think the writer of this post hates Diplo lowkey….
Diplo has openly admitted his music is trash on a number of occasions, so I don’t see the point of this article. Fuck EDM culture.
is that a booze flask she holdin? no wonder she so fat if she drink all the time. maybe she will be on Drunk Chumps podcast next.
Who is Diplo? An unknown collaborator of J. Cole’s? Tame-1’s secret beatmaker? Kool Keith’s alterego? I thought it was a hiphop site.
hahaha, no one forced you to smash that click button tho! I never understood the point in clicking on a story you seem to dislike SO much…that you ALSO add a comment to it. News flash: stories count your clicks and comments, regardless if its a positive or negative one. You want stories like this to not succeed? Don’t interact with it. Simple. Adding your hating ass comment does literally the opposite of what you want.
Besides, HHDX has alot of content. I’m sure you could dig up a story about Big Pun or Carhartt jackets that you’d enjoy. Grumpy ass.
I guess working with M.I.A., Kano, Snoop Dogg, Wale or Big Sean isn’t hip-hop enough for you?
None of them artists you mentioned are hip-hop bwahahah
Riiiight. “None” Smells like hate.
She’s not talented..just beauty n catchy songs
