Sade Says No To Collabos With Jay-Z & Other Rappers

...

Jay-Z is one of the greatest rappers alive, but that’s not enough to convince singer Sade to do a collaboration. The British songstress recently admitted she has turned down requests from rappers including Jay-Z.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sade reveals that Jay–Z and other MCs have approached her about rapping over her beats or having her sing the hook on their records, but she has politely declined.
“I’m too scared,” she says. “They’ll find me out. It’s like ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ They’ll find out there’s nothing there. As for collaborations, I’m collaborating with the band and do what we do. I see myself as a member of this band who does these songs that we write.”
Sade and her band will kick off the North American leg of their 50-city tour on June 16, starting at Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena.
