Dido has denied reports that she made negative comments about pop star Rihanna.
It had been alleged that Dido queried Rihanna’s ability to write songs and be able to release new music at the rate that she does the rate at which she seems to release music.
German magazine Focus reported the singer as saying: “Rihanna seems to release a new album weekly. Unbelievable!
“When does she have time to write her songs? I could never release music that means nothing to me."
But the 41-year-old has taken to Twitter to deny that she made those comments.
“Obviously I didn’t say that about rihanna! I’m a big fan of hers! Ridiculous. Totally misquoted.
“It’s so disappointing when the odd journalist still tries to pit female artists against each other. I love @rihanna. X”
Dido is preparing to release her new album The Girl Who Got Away on March 4.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the record, she said: “I’m quite ruthless with myself – an album isn’t finished until I’m ready.
Rihanna has released an album a year since 2009
“Thankfully I’ve never looked back and wished I done a record differently. Occasionally I wish that I experimented more, but I don’t with this one – it represents all the kinds of music I’m into at the moment. ‘
Dido made her comeback before Christmas with her duet with Kendrick Lamar, 'Let Us Move On'.
Her last album, Safe Trip Home, was released in 2008.
Rihanna released her seventh studio album, Unapologetic, last year. Talk That Talk was released in 2011 and Loud was released in 2010.
