Pharrell Goes In for Rihanna

Pharrell has placed his Midas touch on records for a who’s who of divas including Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and Beyoncé. Now Skateboard P is giving Rihanna the golden treatment.

“I’m going in with Rihanna,” The Neptunes frontman told Billboard in a recent interview. This is the first time the two have collaborated together.

Rihanna was seen dancing onstage at a N.E.R.D. show in April.

In addition to the pop princess, the producer-turned-singer has been in the studio with Shakira, Usher, Incubus, and Sara Bareilles. He’s also finishing up N.E.R.D.’s fourth album.
