- Producer The Dream, writer of “Birthday Cake”, spoke to MTV about the conversation he had with Rihanna when she first introduced the idea of bringing Chris Brown on “Birthday Cake” the remix.
“I think I’m gonna put Chris on it,” he recalls, to which he responded: “I don’t know which Chris you talkin’ about, [but] OK, cool, whatever you say.”
“She’s pretty smart too. The same questions that went through my mind, and I’m an artist also, had to have gone through hers. When she raised the question to me, I know she’s not crazy. So my thought was you’ve been thinking about this, you’ve already thought it out, so evidently you know what reaction you gonna get.”
“At the end of the day, she’s my friend, so whatever she wants to do is whatever she wants to do.
Dream added about the 09 incident: “Don’t say you know how to forgive when you don’t. Everybody knows what took place, cool. Have the power to really forgive if that’s what it is, if not stay on that side of the fence from the beginning.
“It’s easy to kinda throw Chris under the bus all the time, but c’mon, man. OK, we get it.”
