American disc jockey DJ Khaled has urged fans to contact Rihanna and persuade her to feature on his next album.
During a recent interview on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, the singer of the famous song “Another One” appealed to his followers.
Khaled claimed that he had sent Rihanna a song he wanted her to feature in, and he asked her fans to help him convince her to sing a verse on the song.
“I just sent her [Rihanna] a record that I want her to get on. I need y’all to help me get the message to her,” he pleaded with the audience.
DJ Khaled’s upcoming 14th studio album, “Til Next Time,” is expected to be released later this year.
