Elsewhere during the interview, Elba said he would love to collaborate with Taylor Swift.
“I’ve known Taylor a few years. People see the album sales, the awards. What they don’t see is the hard work,” he said.
“She is an incredibly hard-working person, she isn’t resting on her achievements. To perform live with her would be fun and hopefully we can make that happen.”
Earlier this year, Elba released a freestyle track, ‘Gospel 21’, which he wrote on New Year’s Eve. The release followed a string of collaborations throughout 2020, including ‘One Fine Day’ with The Knocks and Tiggs Da Author. Last year, he also signed emerging rapper Che Lingo to his label 7Wallace.
