Although she’s been making waves in the pop world for quite some time now, 2016 was the year when Brooklyn-born singer Bebe Rexha has properly arrived. For starters, she became platinum blonde. Then she unleashed her proper debut single, the Nicki Minaj-assisted ode to good times “No Broken Hearts”. And she continued her reign as the go-to female vocalist with her collaborations with G-Eazy (“Me, Myself & I”) and No. 1 DJ in the world Martin Garrix (“In The Name of Love”). She was also traveling the globe — from hosting MTV EMA Awards in Rotterdam to playing intimate acoustic gigs in Moscow. That’s where we met the Balenciaga-boots rocking popstar and asked her 20 questions about her fruitful year.
Quote:
Best Moment of 2016: Hosting the EMAs. Best Show You Saw in 2016: Probably Beyoncé. Best Album of 2016: Drake’s Views. Another New Artist We Should Have On Our Radar in 2017: Anne-Marie. 2016 Show You Wish You Could Do Over: The gig I did with G-Eazy at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (where I’m from). There were like 16,000 people and we did “Me, Myself & I” together there. It was amazing! Most Awkward Touring Experience of 2016: I was on stage and I had to pee really badly and I just had to hold it in. Or when a fan got my number from somewhere and was calling me every five minutes. And when I was on tour he was waiting for me outside my hotel room.
