04/16: Diddy on "Last Train to Paris" Inspiration, Collaboration with Grace Jones
James Reed of the Boston Globe has an interview with Diddy, touching on the inspiration for "Last Train to Paris," the appearance of Grace Jones on Dirty Money's "Yeah Yeah You Would" and more.
Q. You have an all-star cast on this one — from Lil Wayne and Justin Timberlake to Usher and Drake — but how did Grace Jones end up on this album?
A. We had a show with her in Rio [de Janeiro], and I go to her brother’s church. It was a whole six-degrees-of-separation thing. I had met her one other time a long time ago. We just had a vibe. I picked up the phone and called her. I sent her the record, and she was like, “I loved it. And you know I don’t do anything with anybody.’’
