OHMYGOSSIP — Natalie Imbruglia says it makes her “happy” that young girls have people like Olivia Rodrigo to look up to.
The ‘Torn’ hitmaker joined the 19-year-old pop sensation on stage for a duet of the former’s 1997 hit in London in July, and she has hailed the ‘Good 4 U’ hitmaker for being a perfect role model.
She said: “It was very flattering to be asked. Olivia’s a good person. It makes me happy that young girls have people like that to look up to. You could see the respect that we both had for each other. We were literally singing to each other and didn’t want to look at the audience because I was giving props to her, and she was giving props to me. It was so lovely.”
The 47-year-old Australian pop star also revealed her idol Kylie Minogue, 54, has always been supportive of her career, having followed in her footsteps with a role on Aussie soap ‘Neighbours’ and in music.
Asked who she looked up to when she was younger, she said: I grew up watching her on ‘Neighbours’, and wanting to do what she did and obviously followed in her footsteps. She’s always been incredibly supportive, and gracious, and kind. And even now, when my album came out, she sent me a little message. So definitely, Kylie.”
Natalie released her sixth studio album, ‘Firebird’, in 2021, her first in six years, and she’s already eager to start putting pen to paper for the next.
She told Thefortyfive.com: “Oh my God, are you kidding me? I was thinking about it six months ago and my manager was like, just calm down and get through the tour. I want to be doing this until I’m old and gray. Well, I’m already grey but nobody knows that! I don’t think I could ever have the writer’s block that I did before which is weird, because it was a very real thing. So I can’t wait for a gap in my schedule so I can write again.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Graham Coxon despised Blur’s ‘Country House’ music video, branding it “demeaning to the girls” in it.
The Britpop group’s guitarist was not a fan of the Damien Hirst-helmed promo for their 1995 hit, which starred Keith Graham and Matt Lucas and a number of Page 3 girls, including former glamour model Jo Guest.
Writing in his new memoir, ‘Verse, Chorus, Monster!’, he revolted: “It made me angry because here I was, finally in a band, and the experience seemed to be getting cheapened by Page 3-type imagery, a revival of sexism and football hooliganism.”
He added of the objectifying: “I was clashing heavily with the Britpop thing and didn’t feel the need to refer to women’s body parts in a rude way.”
A big theme of the tell-all tome is Graham’s battle with anxiety.
The music star ended up in rehab, before leaving the band – but he thinks his struggles would be dealt with in a more sensitive way these days.
He said recently: “Thirty years ago, nobody was saying, ‘This is anxiety.’
“I was drinking a lot because that was the only thing that knocked off the anxiety, but then I just couldn’t stop. Then I’d get a hangover which made me anxious all over again.
“No one then was as obsessed with mental health as they are now. It was a bit like, ‘Buck up, you idiot. What’s the matter with you?’ A slap on the back if you’re lucky and ‘Get out there and get on with it.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has become the first artist in Billboard history to fill the entire top 10 in one week.
The ‘Anti-Hero’ hitmaker – whose new album ‘Midnights’ was released on October 21 – was left overwhelmed after finding out her songs made up the whole top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, going one better then Drake’s previous record from September 2021.
Responding to the news on Twitter, Taylor wrote: “10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES. (sic)”
‘Midnights’ has already seen huge success, with the Billboard 200 chart – which is dated November 5 – seeing the album acheive the biggest week for any album in almost seven years.
According to Luminate, the record dropped with 1.578 million equivalent album units earned in the US for its first week.
Meanwhile, Taylor is tied with Barbra Streisand for most number one albums among women in the Billboard charts, with 11, and she’s now the sixth act with more than 10 chart topping records since the weekly rankings were first published regular from 1956.
She now follows behind The Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14), while Drake, Bruce Springsteen and Streisand all also have 11.
Although ‘Midnights’ is Taylor’s 10th studio album and her self-titled peaked at number five, the ‘Taylor’s Version’ re-recordings of ‘Fearless’ and ‘Red’ both topped the charts.
The 32-year-old singer recently revealed she’ll take the record on tour “when it’s time”, having not hit the road since 2018’s ‘Reputation Stadium Tour’ run.
Taylor said: “I think I should do it. When it’s time, we’ll do it. I miss it. I really miss it.”
She went on: “I miss when you write songs and you’re proud of the songs and you have the fans reacting. The most potent way that you can see them react is when you’re looking into their faces … I really miss that connection.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bruce Springsteen says his decision to sell his back catalogue was a “timing thing”.
The 73-year-old music legend insists he doesn’t have plans to hang up his microphone after offloading his entire back catalogue of music to Sony Music Group for $500 million in December last year, but he knew Columbia Records – who are owned by Sony – would “take really good care of it”.
He said: “I just got to a point in my life where, you know, I’m 73 years old and it was going to Columbia [Records] who I knew was going to take really good care of it.
“And so it was just a timing thing and it was like, ‘OK, it makes sense.’ ”
Quizzed on whether his decision was partly about recognising the financial value of his work, he said: “Absolutely.”
Bruce – who is known as ‘The Boss’ – admitted he is lucky to have been paid “a fortune” for a job he would’ve done for free.
Speaking on Sirius XM’s ‘The Howard Stern Show’, he added: “I bumped into the luckiest job in the world because they pay you a fortune for something that I would have done for free.”
The agreement has seen Sony assume ownership of Bruce’s entire catalogue, which includes his hit album ‘Born in the USA’.
Earlier this year, Sting – who shot to fame as part of the rock band The Police, before enjoying success as a solo artist – sold his back catalogue to Universal Music Group for a reported $300 million, following in the footsteps of Bruce, Stevie Nicks, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan.
In December 2020, Dylan sold his back catalogue of more than 600 songs to Universal Music Group.
Universal are said to have forked out $300 million for the rights, and the company hailed the move at the time as the “most significant music publishing agreement this century”.

OHMYGOSSIP — BTS’ RM is preparing to release his debut solo album.
After a report from JTBC News claimed the LP would arrive on November 25, Big Hit Music has confirmed a record is on the way but did not offer a release date.
The label confirmed to Korea JoongAng Daily: “RM will drop a solo album and is currently in preparation.”
The 28-year-old rapper has released two mixtapes, 2015’s ‘RM’ and 2018’s ‘Mono’.
RM recently joined forces with fellow Korean outfit Balming Tiger on the tune ‘Sexy Nukim’.
Just last week, RM’s bandmate Jin released his Coldplay-assisted solo single, ‘The Astronaut’.
After the K-Pop boy band collaborated with Chris Martin and co on the mega-hit ‘My Universe’ on the band’s 2021 LP ‘Music of the Spheres’, the 29-year-old star teamed up with the ‘Yellow’ hitmakers to pen his latest solo tune.
As well as adding to the lyrics, Coldplay play on the track and Chris plays a news presenter in the accompanying music video.
J-Hope, 28, released his debut solo album, ‘Jack In A Box’, in July.
BTS’ management team previously clarified that the group are not going on hiatus despite working on solo ventures.
It was reported that the South Korean boy band – completed by Suga, 29, V, 26, Jimin, 27, and Jungkook, 25 – were going their separate ways and would reunite “someday” but their representatives have insisted their remarks were mistranslated.
A release from their agency HYBE said: “The group will remain active as a team while taking individual journey to further achieve personal growth. [They] will allow themselves to express their individuality through the release of solo albums and collaborations with other artists.”
HYBE’s parent company Big Hit Music added: “BTS now starts a new chapter with new solo projects as well as group projects. Members will take this time to achieve personal growth through various new activities, and we expect it to further strengthen the foundation for the group’s long-run as a team. Big Hit Music will actively support the artists.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Post Malone did a gender reveal for a fan at his recent gig.
The ‘Circles’ hitmaker brought his ‘Twelve Carat Tour’ to Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 28, and after performing, he went to the barriers to greet gig-goers.
He was then passed an envelope by excitable fans and pulled it out to reveal a handwritten note, which read: “Congrats, it’s girl!!!!”
The 27-year-old star recently became a father himself and earlier this month got a new face tattoo in tribute to his daughter.
The rap star – who has chosen not to make his little girl’s name public – welcomed his first child with his mystery fiancée in June 2022 and got what is believed to be her initials, “DDP”, inked in gold letters on his forehead.
Indiana-based tattoo artist Chad Rowe – who has tattooed the heavily-inked ‘Sunflower’ hitmaker in the past – shared a picture of the new piece of body art and wrote on Instagram: “It’s been a few years since @postmalone and I have been able to link up.so when he was in town, we had to make it happen. It really doesn’t ever feel real. And for the trust of such an important tattoo is a huge honor. We hung out, FaceTimes Sienna, tattooed. (sic)”
Post recently admitted it’s “really tough” being away from his daughter on the road.
He said: “It’s really tough not being able to see her, but she’s coming out more often now. She’s huge, she’s super tall, and she’s such a legend and I’m just happy to see her. But it is heartbreaking having to leave and not be able to be with her all the time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan Trainor has been co-writing with JoJo Siwa.
The ‘All About That Bass’ hitmaker has teased that fans are “gonna love” the music she’s been working on for the 19-year-old YouTuber, singer and dancer’s project.
Speaking to The Official Charts Company, she said of writing for other artists: “Oh, it’s my dream. It’s my favourite part of the job. I always tell my team I want to be on the charts, with the songs I’ve written for other people next to me. Like Ed Sheeran. That’s the coolest thing to me, that’s the biggest superpower. Once I’ve let this album stew, I’m definitely going back to writing.”
The ‘Mama Wanna Mambo’ singer then let slip: “I’ve been writing with JoJo Siwa recently and it’s fire. You’re gonna love it.”
JoJo previously appeared on Meghan’s 2020 festive track ‘I Believe In Santa’.
Meghan previously surprised the former ‘Dance Moms’ star by donating $100,000 to her non-profit The JoJo Siwa Childhood Cancer Foundation last year.
The 28-year-old pop star – who returned with her fifth album, ‘Takin’ It Back’, in October – said at the time: “I’ve met a lot of fans who are going through that with their family members.
“It’s very hard, and so, I appreciate you so much for doing that, and I’m so beyond proud of you and I worship you. And I wanted to make a donation.”
An emotional JoJo reacted on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’: “I’m not crying, I swear.”
She said: “It’s been a solid 12 hours since I’ve cried, but this means so much. Thank you! This is going to help so many kids. I had no idea about this, I’m so caught off guard. This is the biggest donation that we’ve had yet to the charity.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Ryder gets vulnerable on his upcoming single, ‘All The Way Over’.
Released on November 4, the 2022 Eurovision runner-up’s forthcoming track sees the 33-year-old singer wear his heart on his sleeve.
He said of the heartbreaking ballad: “All The Way Over’ is a song for anybody on a journey to the other side of loss, grief or heartache.”
Sam is set to release his debut studio album ‘There’s Nothing But Space, Man!’ on November 18.
It will feature his already released singles, including ‘Somebody’, his Eurovision single ‘Space Man’, ‘Tiny Riot’, ‘Whirlwind’, and ‘More’.
Since coming second to Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra in the contest, Sam has played some huge milestone gigs, including performing at the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in the summer and joining Queen and Foo Fighters for a rendition of ‘Somebody To Love’ at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert at London’s Wembley Stadium in September.
He even got the support of the royal family during Eurovision.
Sam said of meeting Catherine, Princess of Wales at Buckingham Palace: “I said ‘hello’ to Kate, and she was asking about the performance.
“She is so kind and said that the royal family had all been supporting me for a while and all throughout Eurovision.
“Then Princess Beatrice came over and had a chat with us too.
“She was just so lovely and encouraging and supporting. And just generous with her kindness.
“She was just saying that they all appreciated the way that the team had handled the Eurovision journey, and that meant so much to all of us. What I gather is a lot of the members of the royal family had seen Eurovision and were supporting my song from home, which means a lot.
“It was incredible, and it was so inspiring to get the encouragement from the royal family because they stand for such similar themes that Eurovision celebrates as well, like unity, togetherness, and solidarity.
“And that coming together of people in a world that seems to find ways of disconnecting us at any given time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maneskin have announced their third studio album, ‘RUSH!’.
The 2021 Eurovision winners will drop their follow-up to 2021’s ‘Teatro D’ira: Vol. I’ on January 20, 2023.
Recent singles that are likely to feature include ‘The Loneliest’ and ‘Supermodel’, while a new song called ‘Kool Kids’ was previewed at a recent gig.
Damiano David and co also covered Elvis Presley’s classic ‘If I Can Dream’ for Baz Luhrmann’s biopic ‘Elvis’.
Meanwhile, the Italian rockers recently admitted they feel they’ve proved their critics wrong with their recent success.
The popular group – formed in 2016 – have enjoyed a meteoric rise since winning the Eurovision Song Contest, and the band believes their recent success has justified their stubborn approach.
Frontman Damiano explained: “Everything started well, and then all of a sudden, people started trying to stop us from doing what we thought was the best thing for us.
“That kind of music with that aesthetic, communicating that way and people weren’t agreeing with us. But we kept believing in it and, in the end, they said we were right.”
Ethan Torchio, the band’s drummer, insisted the group have never deviated from their original plan, despite facing outside pressure and criticism.
He said: “The people who criticised us in the past days now are struggling. And they’re like, ‘You’re the best rock band ever, you’re incredible, you’re great.’ But you never said that before we were famous, so we don’t trust you.”
Damiano added: “Where are those people now? I don’t know. I think they’re having tough nights because we made it. I think they have a lot of itches.”
Despite this, Damiano has struggled to deal with his new-found fame.
The singer prefers spending time at home but he’s now having to adjust to his new reality.
He said: “I think it’s hard and everybody reacts in a different way.
“I struggled a bit because I’m a home guy, and I’m very chilled and I don’t really like to stay away from home for too long. But of course, you have to deal with it and find some ways to feel like you’re at home, even if you’re not. So I learned some tricks that helped me stay focused and healthy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — A songwriter who accused Mariah Carey of stealing ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ has dropped his lawsuit.
The ‘Hero’ hitmaker was sued over the summer by Vince Vance, who claimed her 1994 festive single had ripped off his 1989 song of the same name, but in a court filing on Tuesday (01.11.22), the artist’s legal team moved to voluntarily dismiss the case, Billboard reports.
However, the door will be left open for Vince to refile the lawsuit at a later date.
In his original lawsuit, Vince claimed he had recorded his own ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ in 1989 and it had received “extensive airplay” during the 1993 festive season, a year before Mariah released her megahit under the same title.
He branded the later track a “derivative” of his own and was seeking $20 million in damages from the 52-year-old singer, co-writer Walter Afanasieff and Sony Music.
Experts had previously insisted it would be tough for Vince to win his case as the songs had very few similarities, other than an identical name and a single lyric.
Paul Fakler, music litigator at Mayer Brown, said when the case was filed: “The only similarity he claims is in the title of the song, not the music or lyrics. Words and short phrases are not protectable under copyright law, and there are dozens of other songs with that same title.”
Lawyers for the singer have not commented on why they have dropped the case – which was still in the earliest procedural stages – or whether there are any plans to refile it in the future.

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Stanley has admitted Gene Simmons used to drive him “crazy”.
The KISS guitarist has opened up about his 50-year friendship with his fellow band member, revealing some things the group’s frontman used to do would “bother” him, but Paul accepted they were his own issues he needed to overcome.
Asked what he’s learned during his working relationship with Gene, he said: “[That’s an] interesting question. Yeah, we’re very different, but we certainly share a pride in what we do, a work ethic.
“Maybe because our parents came from Europe where I think that that’s important stuff, is that pride in the work you do and to work hard for your money.
“Other than that, I think one of the things that took me a long time to learn – and I think Gene, by the way … I mean, he’s family to me; he’s a brother.
“I remember there were things about him that used to drive me crazy. Then I realised that that’s not his issue; that’s my issue.
“When people do things and it bothers you, you need to figure out why it bothers you, not expect them to change. It’s not about them. And things that used to bother me about Gene, I just had to kind of figure out, ‘Wait a minute. That’s my issue that bothers me. And why does it bother me?’ ”
Paul, 70, admitted he ended up “putting a lot of that stuff aside” because he knew he was never going to make his 73-year-old fellow KISS co-founder change.
According to Blabbermouth.net, he said on this year’s Kiss Kruise: “Because he can only be the best he that he can be; he’s never gonna be me, and I’m never gonna be him. So it’s just a matter of putting a lot of that stuff aside.
“We’re not gonna change anybody else, so we need to figure out why it bothers us.”
In September, Gene admitted he doesn’t have “friends”, aside from Paul, and prefers his own company.
He said: “Even today, as I sit here, other than Paul, and we only get together when we do stuff for the band.
“How do I say this without sounding inhuman? I don’t have friends.
“Yeah, if friends means, ‘Gee, I don’t know what I’m going to do this afternoon. Hey, you want to come over and hang out?’
“I’m more interested in what I want to do, and I don’t want to pretend that I’m interested in what you want to do because I am not.”
Paul and Gene co-founded rockers KISS in 1973 alongside Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Gallagher snubbed fans’ questions about Noel Gallagher’s new song.
The ex-Oasis frontman jokingly pretended he had never heard of his estranged sibling and former bandmate’s group Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in an apparent jibe when asked about their new song ‘Pretty Boy’.
Responding to one Twitter follower who asked what he thinks his vocals would sound like on a High Flying Birds track, the 50-year-old rocker replied: “Never heard of them.”
Another asked if he’d heard the tune and he quipped back: “I’ve not heard anything I didn’t know he was still making music.”
Meanwhile, Roger Daltrey has called on the feuding brothers to “just get” Oasis “back together”.
The Who frontman recently spoke highly of the iconic Britpop group’s former lead vocalist, but wishes the pair would sort out their differences and get the ‘Some Might Say’ rockers on stage again.
Speaking to Yungblud for Rolling Stone, he said: “He’s just got an edge, and I wish [Oasis] would just get back together.
“Liam, though, has really carved out a niche for himself now, and I love him. I think he’s fabulous. He’s totally honest. He’s not frightened of saying how he feels. Very similar to you [Yungblud]. You remind me of him a bit.”
Oasis split in 2009 following a backstage bust-up between the rival siblings, and all hopes of a reunion have been dashed.
Despite Liam previously begging Noel repeatedly to get back on stage with him, he accepts that’s never going to happen.
His brother, on the other hand, admitted last week he thinks there’s “no point” to an Oasis reunion.
The 55-year-old rocker says the band sells “as many records now” as they did during their 90s heyday.
While appearing on the ‘Pub Talk’ podcast, Noel was asked if they would ever reform, prompting him to quip: “Er, would you go on holiday with your ex-missus?”
He went on: “As funny as this sounds. Oasis sell as many records now per year as we did when we were together. We’re as popular now in the eyes of the people as we ever were. And I’m happy with it.”
The musician insisted everyone is thriving – including Liam, who sold out two nights at Knebworth this summer after their iconic 1996 shows – since they left the group behind.
Noel added: “If we got back together there would be a circus – and there’s no point. Just leave it as it is. I’m happy. He’s [Liam Gallagher] doing his thing. He’s still selling out Knebworth. It’s like, mate, good luck to you, do you know what I mean?”

OHMYGOSSIP — The actor who got slapped in the face “at least 10 times” by Harry Styles’ fake tentacles in his ‘Music for a Sushi Restaurant’ music video “would do it again”.
Zeus Rocancourt was blown away by how realistic the pop star’s fake tail was and would have happily been walloped by the prosthetic for Harry’s art for as long as needed.
He said: “I was definitely channelling the naïve person at the bar who doesn’t know boundaries and is definitely slightly intoxicated.
“It’s not every day you ask somebody to touch their tail.
“It’s also not every day you see someone with a tail.”
He added: “As far as I’m concerned, I got slapped by a squid.”
He told PEOPLE he was slapped, “In total, at least 10 times.”
Zeus laughed: “And I would do it again.”
The model had nothing but praise for everyone on set and found Harry, 28, to be very “warm”.
He said: “It was amazing to work with everyone on that set.
“I don’t have a single complaint.”
Zeus was surprised that the ‘As It Was’ hitmaker remembered his name after just one scene, in which he had the single line: “Can I touch your tail?”
He added: “He went out of his way to say ‘hi’ to multiple people on set and always with a smile. I admire that about him.
“Harry went out of his way to be like, ‘Hey, man, how’s it going? Nice to meet you. What’s your name?’
“Him remembering my name and going out of his way to say ‘thank you’ and ‘hello’ in the first place just felt so genuine.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Skepta is launching his own record label.
The 40-year-old Grime icon has launched the talent agency Big Smoke Corporation and will share more information about Big Smoke Records soon.
The label will “focus on signing new talent who represent and champion the ethos of Big Smoke Corporation; trend setters, who break the mould and do things differently.”
The ‘Shutdown’ hitmaker says “authentically and adequately supporting creatives and artists” is at the core of its ethos.
In a statement, Skepta – whose real name is Chief Joseph Olaitan Adenuga Jr. – said: “During my career I’ve seen many brands and corporations capitalise on the cultural currency of the music and creative industries without adequately supporting artists or the those working within these industries.
“This is a unique opportunity for brands and corporations to collaboratively tap into the influence of the industry and culture whilst ensuring they are authentically and adequately supporting creatives and artists.”
Skepta has partnered with sports brand PUMA to encourage collaboration between creatives and brands.
He added: “Launching with PUMA and Channel 4 has shown future brand partners how they can succeed greatness when they are open to working collaboratively. Me and my team look forward to working with like-minded thinking creatives and brands.”
In August, Skepta opened up about his health struggles and admitted they have “steered [his] life”.
The music star has suffered with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and stomach ulcers since his twenties, and his health issues have had a huge impact on his day-to-day life.
In a candid Instagram post, he shared: “Through song lyrics or word of mouth some of you know I have suffered from IBS/stomach ulcers/problems since my early twenties.
“Apart from me not being able to maintain a steady weight, depression, short term memory loss, it also controls my moods, which has ultimately steered my Life. (sic)”
He was rushed to hospital in July with a mystery illness.
The music star took to Instagram to post a photo of the bottom half of his body in a hospital gown – although he didn’t elaborate on his health issues.
Skepta captioned the image: “Say a little prayer for me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran has smashed yet another record, becoming the only artist to have four albums spend a year in the Top 10.
The ‘Celestial’ hitmaker’s LPs ‘+’, ‘x’, ‘Divide’ and ‘=’ have spent 52 weeks or more in the Top 10 of the UK’s Official Albums Chart.
Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, Ed said: “Delighted to find out that four of my albums have spent a year or more in the UK top 10. Thank you to my wonderful fans for making this possible, you’re the best. See you in 2023 x.”
The only act to come close to this is Simon and Garfunkel, with two albums.
Meanwhile, it was just revealed that Ed is filming a tell-all documentary about his life.
The ‘Bad Habits’ hitmaker is working on a new project that will give fans a glimpse into his lifestyle as he continues with his ‘Mathematics Tour’ – which he plans to extend until 2026.
The chart-topping musician explained that he is trying to balance what to include and what should be left out of the “honest” film.
He said last week: “We are shooting a documentary at the minute about my life and there was a big conversation about what we include.
“As it is honest… there is no point in putting something in if there is something detrimental to my life.
“It is a very fine line, it is why I live in Suffolk and not in LA. My life as a celebrity is turned on when I am in New York, but at home I am a friend, a dad, a husband, a son. You can’t bring celebrity baggage to home.”
Ed is set to release the album ‘Subtract’ next year and explained that he is feeling more “creative” than ever as he is no longer under pressure to make big hits.
The 31-year-old singer said: “I am in the most creative part of my life.
“The pressure of having every album having to be this gargantuan pop machine is off.
“I feel I have had five of them now and now is the time to explore doing stuff and taking risks.”
Ed continued: “I am going to be on a stadium tour for years, so even if I put out an album and it bombs, I’m still playing to 90,000 people a night.
“I don’t feel the pressure of it. We will finish in 2026.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlie Puth is convinced Rihanna has been rehearsing new music in the studio room next to him.
The ‘Light Switch’ hitmaker believes he has been overhearing the ‘Rude Boy’ hitmaker’s unreleased tracks.
He told Capital: “I swear to God she is rehearsing next to me, there is always security next door – and I just go in by myself.
“And I thought I saw her.”
Rihanna returned with her first solo single since 2016’s ‘ANTI’ last week.
The slow-burning ‘Lift Me Up’ was released for the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack in tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular character in the first film.
Rihanna will be getting rehearsals in ahead of her headline slot at the Super Bowl Halftime show next year.
The 34-year-old singer told TMZ: “I’m nervous … but I’m excited.”
Super Bowl LVII is set to take place on February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium.
Earlier this year, Rihanna reassured fans new music is coming, insisting becoming a parent wouldn’t stop her from releasing her long-awaited follow-up ‘ANTI’.
She said at the time: “Well, yes … You’re still going to get music from me.”
When jokingly asked if she will drop some lullabies, she quipped: “Oh my goodness, not a lullaby. My fans would kill me that they waited this long for a lullaby!”
Rihanna gave birth to a baby boy – whom she has with rapper A$AP Rocky – in May.
