Rihanna and Nicki Minaj Took A Pass On Major Lazer's 'Lean On'
. Though the singer had been receiving considerable buzz before the collaboration (also due to his appearance at Coachella this year), the moment has without a doubt been a major breakthrough for her. So, considering the minimal popularity that Mo¸ had going into the project, it is not surprising to hear that she was not the first choice to sing on the song. In an interview with Time (via NME), Diplo says that the song was written with Mo¸ as a slow reggae track and then offered to Nicki Minaj and Rihanna as possible collaborators, but both passed on the song.
