Bebe Rexha: Rihanna dissed me,so I wrote her a hit song
Quote:
Bebe Rexha co-wrote Eminem and Rihanna’s 2013 smash “The Monster” — yet she’s never even met them.
Well, the singer did have a pre-“Monster” encounter with Rihanna when the pop star dropped by the Saks perfume counter where Rexha worked.
“I was really excited, but she didn’t talk to me,” Rexha, 25, says with a chuckle. “It’s OK — she was in her own world, you know?”
Rexha was foiled once more when she shared a bill with the “Monster” pair at last year’s Lollapalooza. “I was dying to see my song performed live,” she says, “but the security guy wouldn’t let me anywhere near the arena area!”
Rexha’s not complaining too much though, because her career has taken off since then. She released her debut EP, “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up,” in May, and is spending her summer on the Vans Warped Tour. (It hits Jones Beach July 11.)
