Shaggy Turned Down Chance
Shaggy Turned Down Chance to Be on Rihanna’s Upcoming Album Because He Was Asked to Audition
While some will always see reggae artist Shaggy as merely the genius insisting it wasn’t him having sex butt-naked on the bathroom floor in front of your very eyes (it was some sort of infidelity optical illusion!), the Jamaican musician is, in fact, a critically acclaimed two-time Grammy Award winner for Best Reggae Album, thanks to 1996’s Boombastic and 2019’s 44/876, which he made with Sting. So, calibrate your shocked gasps accordingly when you read that, yeah, Shaggy went ahead and passed on the chance to collaborate on a song for Rihanna’s long-awaited ninth album, rumored for a 2020 release. The reason he declined to work on RiRi’s upcoming project? Apparently, despite his decades of reggae excellence, Shaggy was asked to audition.
