The Rihanna and Shakira collaboration looks to be confirmed, but it wasn't RiRi or Shakira who delivered this awesome news. It was actually Pitbull, who has nothing to do with the song.

Wait, what? Why is Pit the spiller of the beans? Chill. We'll tell you.

Well, Mr. Worldwide was discussing his new smash 'Timber,' featuring Kesha, revealing that the dirty girl was not the initial choice to record the female vocal on the song.

"The person we were looking at first to work on that record was actually Rihanna," Pit revealed. "But she had something she had to do with Shakira and wasn't able to work on our record."

RiRi's loss is certainly Kesha's gain, since 'Timber' such a huge hit.

Shakira tweeted about the video for her new single, but with no mention of her girl RiRi.

However, Perez Hilton pointed out that Shakira's stand-in on set tweeted that Rihanna was in the video for Shakira's new song, which would suggest that the song is a Shakira x RiRi collabo. That tweet has since been deleted.
