Reggae Superstar Shaggy Reveals Connection To Princess Diana

Shaggy was surprised to hear Prince Harry recite his signature lyric.

The 54-year-old rapper is best-known for his 2000 hit single ‘It Wasn’t Me’ and revealed that so many fans often repeat the catchy titular hook back to him on a regular basis and that even Prince Harry did the same when he met him at the hospital his late mother Princess Diana – who died in a car crash in 1997 aged just 36 – was supposed to become a patron of before her death.

Speaking on UK TV show ‘Lorraine’, he told stand-in host Christine Lampard: “If I had a dollar for every time..it’s a good problem to have! There’s a hospital I support called the Bustamante Hospital and Prince Harry’s mom was supposed to support it but she died before she could and he came to visit. Me being a patron of the hospital, I was one of the guys to meet him. My daughter wanted to meet a prince. He just walked up to me, shook my hand and said ‘It wasn’t me!'”

The Grammy Award-winning star – whose real name is Orville Richard Burrell – went on to add that he would be up for a collaboration with ‘Anti-Hero’ songstress Taylor Swift, as long as their work is of an “organic” nature.
