James Corden reveals A-list singer who ghosted him for ‘EIGHT years’

BBG News

James Corden gained widespread recognition due to Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show; however, there’s one highly sought-after passenger who has yet to join him, despite numerous attempts over the years.

In a recent chat, the British humorist, aged 46, disclosed that for nearly eight years, he had been persistently trying to arrange Rihanna’s appearance for the popular viral segment.

As a die-hard admirer, I’d eagerly await her to exclaim, “Once the new album drops!” However, before that album saw the light of day, I found myself completing the performance she graced, as I shared with ET.

Interestingly enough, the interview unfolded during the red carpet event for the Smurfs movie premiere, where both James and Rihanna contributed their voices to characters in the film, and they also collaborated on a duet for the soundtrack.

James playfully stated that it wouldn’t make sense to discuss singing with Rihanna in a serious manner due to the heavy use of autotune, acknowledging that he is not a trained vocalist.

However, Rihanna expressed only admiration towards her co-star when she told ET, “That turned out to be one of the most surprising aspects of the entire project… he has a wonderful voice… indeed, he’s quite talented.

For quite some time now, enthusiasts have been anxiously looking forward to the arrival of Rihanna’s upcoming studio album, since her latest complete work, Anti, came out as far back as 2016.

Although the singer has repeatedly hinted at new music, they have yet to announce an official release date, leaving fans in suspense.

Her anticipation has grown even stronger now that she’s immersed in various endeavors such as Fenty Beauty, motherhood, and movie productions.

37-year-old artist is joyously raising her two boys, RZA (aged 3) and Riot (aged 23 months), alongside her hip-hop partner A$AP Rocky (36 years old). At the moment, she’s also anticipating the arrival of their third child together.

She went public with her latest pregnancy at this May’s Met Gala, which Rocky co-chaired.

Corden’s interview took place not long after it seemed like Rocky inadvertently disclosed the sex of their third baby during a red-carpet event for their movie Smurfs, which premiered at Mont des Arts in Brussels, Belgium on Sunday.

When Kevin Frazier from ET questioned the 36-year-old rapper about the woman in question, his prompt response was, “Yes, indeed, she is.

In a tight spot, A$AP gestured towards a fluffy Smurfette toy and rephrased, “Look right here, you catch my drift?

On ET’s Instagram account, users were thrilled as @aysenuurkc excitedly declared: ‘She’s a girl!’

‘He definitely gave it away,’ Instagram user @khadija_sufi laughed.

The way he enthusiastically shared the film and clearly expressed his affection was so adorable, as @fashionistaera21 put it,” the post noted. “Indeed, that’s a true gentleman standing by his woman.

Instagram user @hot_cheetos_0001 commented: ‘Put a ring on it. Do it the right way.’

‘He needs to marry her,’ Instagram user @chibiapril0412 agreed.

Whenever Frazier inquired about the same topic to Rihanna, I noticed her responding with a playful smile, hinting, “Perhaps it’s more like Smurfette… It might as well be Papa Smurf. One never truly knows!

Riri, formerly known as Robyn Fenty, indeed verified that she and her partner have agreed to start their next child’s name with the letter ‘R’, stating: “That’s the one point where me and my partner never argue about.

In response to being inquired about future offspring, the multiple Grammy nominee playfully remarked, “We’ll probably have as many children as the Wayans family, you understand? Yes, I mean, love is wonderful and it’s all about sharing it.

In their five-year partnership, the nine-time Grammy winner and A$ Rocky have already become parents to two sons. She has openly expressed her desire for a daughter in the past.

However, this influential duo, both adorned with identical tattoos from 1988 to symbolize their birth years, initially crossed paths in the year 2011. It was then that she invited him for the first time to collaborate on her track titled “Cockiness (Love It)” and spark a musical alliance.

Previously, Rocky had been looking at a potential sentence of up to eight years in prison. However, on February 18, a jury declared him not guilty of two charges related to the use of a semi-automatic firearm in an incident involving his longtime friend A$AP Relli (born Terell Ephron) that occurred in 2021.

As a young boy of 12, the founder of AWGE is said to have had his Bajan father imprisoned. During his adolescent years, he and his mother and sister found themselves moving from one homeless shelter to another.

In the meantime, Rihanna took on the roles of producer and voice actor for Smurfette in Paramount Animation’s Smurfs movie, which is set to premiere in both UK and US theaters on July 18. Additionally, she wrote and recorded original songs like “Friend Of Mine.

As a devoted follower, I’m right there with Rihanna, juggling multiple ventures just like her. She’s not only thriving with her billion-dollar lingerie brand Savage X Fenty, but she’s also expanded it into the cosmetics world with Fenty Beauty, worth an impressive $600M. Not stopping there, she’s branched out to Fenty Skin, Fenty Fragrance, and even Fenty Hair, each one a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit.
