The 'Family Affair' singer was offered the song at the beginning of the year -
but she was too busy to record it.
"The song was recorded for me... and it was during the Grammy time and I was
really, really busy," she said. "I heard it and I thought: 'Oh my goodness,
that's a smash. I love this song'."
But Blige insists she loves Rihanna's version of the song.
"She's such a beautiful lady and I love her to death," she said.
"I was so glad that she caught it and knocked it out of the park. It's still
one of my favourite songs today."
