Dream, one of the co-producers on Rihanna's now infamous 'Birthday Cake' remix, says the idea to add Chris Brown to the track was all Rihanna's idea...
Dream tells Billboard,
"It was Rih's idea. Not only do we work together, but she is a friend of mine. And it's like, 'You wanna do something? Then cool, let's do it.'I don't know how she got the logistics and how it happened -- maybe she'll talk about it one day. I showed up at the studio, and it was like, 'All right, cool, let's finish this record,' which we probably should have finished the first time we did it."
"I think [the topic] that should be more on the tongues is: how do we proclaim to be a nation of forgiving, and we go by all of these rules and everything, but we can't actually do it?. It actually makes you look weaker than your adversary -- if you don't have the power to forgive, but you lie and say that you did.
"Because this is about her. If she can forgive, that's where she is mentally. As a friend, it's like, 'Okay, cool. Let's roll.'"
