London, Feb 24 (IANS) Rapper Usher says he wants to perform a duet with Rihanna.
"Of course I'd do a track with her - hold on! We've been friends and our teams work together and we've talked about working together in the past, but it could potentially happen," contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.
"I would love to work with her - I think she's an incredible artist," he added.
Usher even defended Rihanna's latest video 'S&M' which has proved to be controversial.
The singer wore a crystal-covered basque, fringed hotpants and fishnet stockings to perform a medley of her hits.
"Artistic direction is just that, you know, and obviously subjective. "Everyone has their opinion and it's a family show. I think she is a responsible young lady and maybe the song represented the attitude of, you know, think about it like this- how long have guys been grabbing their crotches," he added.
