Calvin Harris Praises Rihanna AND Throws Shade At Leona Lewis In A Single Tweet

Superstar DJ compliments RiRi on her version of 'We Found Love', but appears to have a smallish dig at Leona...

Calvin Harris is a man of many talents, with the star now managing to praise Rihanna while also throwing shade at Leona Lewis… all in one tweet!

The Scottish spinner took to Twitter to reply to a post by Music News Facts, which stated: “Did you know that Calvin Harris wrote and produced the #1 hit 'We Found Love'[sung by Rihanna] on his own?”

Wouldn't have been a hit if anyone else had sung it tho https://t.co/WXir05vjBx

Heaping praise on RiRi, Harris replied: “Wouldn't have been a hit if anyone else had sung it tho.”

However, eagle-eyed Leona fans have pointed out that Calvin MAY have been throwing shade at their idol - who famously recorded the hit first.

[related]Back in 2012, the 31-year old spoke about Leona’s version of the track, telling Kiss FM: “Erm, they’re very different because she (Leona) sings it dead softly, you know, how Leona sings.

“It’s more like an X Factor ballad.”

Over to you Leona…
