While the Internet has been understandably distracted by how good Rihanna looked at Cropover, there’s been some more pressing news that has come to our attention.

Both Rihanna and Diplo are no stranger to collaboration, so it comes as a surprise that they have yet to work with each other. Apparently it’s not for lack of effort, as Diplo reveals in a GQ Style interview the plethora of occasions the Wild Thoughts star has curved a collaboration with him.

Considering he’s worked with M.I.A, Justin Bieber and literally everyone notable in the pop world, that didn’t stop Rihanna from bestowing next-level shade at him and his advances. Read the recount below.

I played her “Lean On.” She was like, “I don’t do house music.” I face-palmed so hard on that one. Another time I had a session with her, and Future was also invited. The Weeknd was there. Metro Boomin was there before anybody knew who he was. I was so contact high. Future played her, like, 700 songs. It was four in the morning. Finally, I was like, Yo, G, I’m leaving unless you let me play her a song. So I played her a song. And she was like, “This sounds like a reggae song at an airport.” [laughs] I was like, I’m gonna go kill myself.

Ouch. In spite of this, Diplo remains pretty nonchalant about his chances of making a hit with the Barbados star, in the future. “I think before we’re all done, she’ll be on a song of ours,” he said. “Hopefully. But if not, I don’t really care.”

Guard your heart, Diplo. Guard your heart.
