And [Roc Nation CEO] Jay Brown did his stuff-izle and made sure he got the record for Rihanna. So now we’re at the Grammys doing it."

The trio teamed up to perform the song for the first time at Sunday night's awards ceremony, with Kanye also performing 'Only One,' a tribute song to his mother and daughter.
