According to a new report, he asked to be on the album but she told him it was already completed.
Now, Jamaica Irie FM Morning Show reports that they spoke with one of Rihanna’s representatives who shut down rumors that anyone was asked to audition. “We are working on an album, not a talent show, so why would [Rihanna] require Shaggy or any other artist to audition?” the rep reportedly said, according to TheJasmineBRAND.
The person added that it wasn’t even Rihanna who reached out to Shaggy, but vice versa. “After Rihanna had already gathered all the material for the album, Shaggy contacted her asking to be a part of the album,” they stated. “She explained to him that the album was pretty much completed and they were just working on mixing, mastering and deciding which songs to actually use. However, she invited him to submit some materials so she could see if it fits with the flow of the album. That was by no means asking for an audition, it was more going out of her way to get him on the album.”
The rep hopes Shaggy will come forward to clarify his statements and tell the truth because the media can sometimes twist people’s words. Meanwhile, Shaggy has yet to comment on Rihanna’s representative’s statements.
