Diplo has worked with everyone from Madonna to Usher to Snoop Dogg To Justin Bieber.

But Rihanna has long resisted the super producer's efforts to get her on a Major Lazar track.

In an interview with GQ, Diplo explained how Ri-Ri likes to hurtfully reject him when he pitches songs.

I think before we're all done, she'll be on a song of ours. Hopefully. But if not, I don't really care. 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.
During an interview with The Standard in 2015, Diplo took a harsher tone on Rihanna's reluctance to work with him.

“I was in the studio with Rihanna two weeks ago, still playing the game. I was trying to convince her why she should do so-and-so, and thinking, ‘Lean On is bigger than any of her songs around the world right now. Why am I even sitting here trying to negotiate?’”
