Eminem Tried To Get Adele On His New Album, But Had To Settle For Beyonce Instead

It must be nice to be in a position where Beyonce is your second choice for anything – but that’s what happened with Eminem.

The Detroit rapper apparently wanted Adele to collaborate on a track on new album ‘Revival’, but the Londoner wasn’t available because of issues with her voice – so he turned to Queen Bey instead.

His producer Denaun Porter revealed in an interview with This is 50 that Eminem had initially wanted Adele.

“The first person I heard [who was wanted for the song] was Adele,” he said. “I think something happened with her with her voice, and she couldn’t do it… But then it got to them using Beyonce. My mind was already there. There’s only a couple people that could pull that off.”
