Stormzy Convinced Jay-Z Not<br />to Collaborate With Ed Sheeran.<br />In a recent interview on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show,’ British<br />rapper Stormzy revealed why Jay-Z didn’t appear on<br />Ed Sheeran’s recent album, ‘No. 6 Collaborations Project.’.<br />Jay-Z was initially supposed to appear<br />on the song, “Take Me Back to London,”<br />alongside Stormzy and Sheeran. .<br />However, while the trio were in the studio working<br />on the song, Stormzy pressed Jay-Z to drop out. .<br />I was like, ‘I know how it goes, Mr. Z.<br />You are the most brilliant, busy man, and<br />I will probably never get this opportunity<br />ever again, but hand on my heart, I don’t<br />think this is the right song for us.', Stormzy, to ‘The Jonathan Ross Show.’.<br />Stormzy told Jay-Z that he<br />felt him being on the song would<br />"[change] everything” about it.<br />‘Take Me Back To London’ with me and<br />Ed is one thing, but now that Jay-Z is on it …<br />This is Jay-Z and Stormzy, what he means<br />to culture, what I mean to culture, Stormzy, to ‘The Jonathan Ross Show.’.<br />According to Stormzy, Jay-Z respected his “courageous”<br />decision and “couldn’t believe that [he] did it.”.<br />We spoke and he made me feel [proud of what<br />I did]. I left there thinking [I was an idiot], but<br />then I had the honor of seeing him again and<br />having the conversation, and he let me know<br />to my face that what I did [was courageous], Stormzy, to ‘The Jonathan Ross Show.’
