Watch Rihanna’s reaction when asked if she attended Diddy parties- “that’s crazy”.

Jay-Z signed the Barbados-born singer to Def Jam Recordings in 2005. At the time, he was the label’s president. Rihanna was 16 when her career was launched. Her debut album “Music of the Sun” was released that same year, following the success of her first single, “Pon de Replay,” which she had already recorded prior to her stardom.

However, her reflections about her first meeting with the hip-hop icon have come under scrutiny. Also in 2005, Ri Ri appeared on “The Tyra Banks Show,” where she performed her first massive U.S. hit and spoke about the night she became a signed recording artist.

Among remembering that she was riddled with nerves before meeting HOV, she recalled two specific comments he allegedly made. One of them being, “We don’t sign songs here; we sign artists,” and the other being, “‘There are two ways to leave here. I go through the door with the deal signed or through this window, and we’re on the 29th floor.’” The audience audibly let out groans of disbelief.
