How did your recent collaborations with Akon and Lady Gaga materialise?

My song with Akon has already been recorded. I sang the song and gave the music and lyrics. Lady Gaga and I are still in the process of finalising our tunes. There's nothing new about my journey in Hollywood. My song 'Jimmy, Jimmy' was featured in You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008). I've also worked with MC Hammer, and remember, I was the first to get Samantha Fox to India.

He already confirmed recording two songs with her few months ago.

Also her speech about having variety of music in streaming at Enigma... this is becoming more and more real.

Just a universe of YEEAH

I hope she's collaborating with RedOne too since he's also involved in this

Ikr 

I imagine a look similar to this in the upcoming biopic 

Show her Italianishness if anything

I really hope he’s not just saying this to boost interest in his own music .

Ah yes we're still waiting for that Lil Pump collab

[Jigglygoth 2,432]

I googled him to see if he was hot  

It was a perfect illusion

+ the fact RedOne confirmed working on Bollywood influenced music projects the last few months (including experimenting for some big pop stars).

And the fact she told in her make-up video she's going to explore new music genres. 

 

I really really hope it won't end up scrapped. Cause that would be an interesting influence she hasn't explored in her discography

The Bop This Way Bollywood remix was a jam.. So this could be cool. 💖

She probably has North African in her tbh. Isn't her Italian side of the family from the south? There's a lot of Moroccan and Tunisian influence in those parts. Even my dad thought she was part Middle Eastern/North African

OT: Do we know if this is a more disco track or pure bollywood? I would be fine with both, but I wonder if it will be a mix of things since he seems to be known for both genres.

 spill lots of Italians from the south have MENA (Middle East/North Africa) admixture so I wouldn’t be surprised if she did have 10-15% MENA in her from her southern Italian side.I know when she stared her career everyone thought she was Jewish  Other than that she generally just looks Italian and a bit Western European. Only when she plays her phenotype cards right she can pass as anything other than. There’s also a few times when she’s looked like a very Southern European Latina. I had a Mexican teacher who looked almost like this (I’m sure the dia de los muertos mask helps ksksks):

Definitely both. Knowing it's Gaga it'll probably pop-dance influenced by Bappi's music (disco + Bollywood). I listened to few of his tracks, some are literally bops.

He's almost 70 and he already has the legend status in India. I doubt he is trolling.

Can we really compare an irrelevant twink rapper to a 70 years old Bollywood legend ? 

[Red Velvet 10,973]

Honestly, I felt like they're either sampling  from his songs, or he is inside production instead of a duet or collaboration. That's pretty more likely because Gaga is a really reserved prrson and only does it with similar peers, but Joanne winning a Grammy happened so miracles can happen.
