In a recent interview Rihanna says she wanted Chris Brown on her Birthday Cake remix simply because he's the hottest thing in R&B right now...
Rihanna tells Ryan Seacrest,
"I reached out to him about doing Birthday Cake because that's the only person that really made sense to do the record just as a musician, despite everything else."
"I thought about rappers and I've done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown."
"In turn, he was like, 'Why don't you do the remix to my track? It was a trade off. We did two records - one for my fans, one for his fans. That way our fans can come together. There shouldn't be a divide. It's music and it's innocent."
