Speaking over a locally brewed Banks beer, Negus told how he first met Rihanna at a party when she was 15 and they instantly hit it off.

He said: 'We were introduced by a mutual friend. We shared the same sense of humour; she likes to laugh. I guess we pretty much took to each other’s character and it was just cool ever since then.'

'She never told me personally that she wanted to be a star but I could pick it up from her posture, her singing and how seriously she took everything.'
