Williams recently chatted with Zane Lowe of Beats 1 and shared that she once turned down an opportunity to collaborate with rapper Lil Uzi Vert. According to the singer/songwriter, the reason was that she didn’t want to become too famous.

“I remember Uzi asking me to do some stuff with him and I know that fans are going to be so pissed at me for saying this, but I literally wrote him back on Instagram and I was like, “Buddy, I love you so much, but I don’t want to be that famous,” Williams explained.

According to Williams, the offer came around the time when Paramore decided to go on a break. At the time, she wanted to get out of the spotlight for a while, so Uzi Vert’s proposal came at the wrong time.

“Because that is…He’s like a big artist, man. My stepbrother is obsessed with them. He was pissed when I told him the story,” she added.

Hayley Williams will release Petals for Armor on May 8th, with the album being preceded by two EPs. Williams already released three singles from the record, with “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris” being the most recent one.
