Labrinth 'turned down Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj'
Labrinth has said he turned down the opportunity to work with Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj to concentrate on writing his debut solo album. The singer, who co-wrote Tinie Tempah's Pass Out and had a number two hit with Let The Sun Shine last year, said: "These guys have their careers, my one is still on its way." He admitted the decision had not been easy. "I'm not just looking to be famous and attach myself to famous names. I want to make history in the business in terms of creativity." Labrinth, who was speaking to Newsbeat at the MusicConnex event in London, said: "It's not very easy to do that when you're trying to get somewhere. "I could make a big song for Beyoncé but that's not saying it's going to be another creative Pass Out. "If you're confident with something - which I'm confident with my thing - you can make that time out to make sure what you're doing is perfected."
