Paul McCartney’s Ex-Wife Thinks Working With Rihanna And Kanye West Is A Sign Of Desperation

Here's the simple, black-and-white video for Rihanna's all-star collab "FourFiveSeconds."

The Paul McCartney revival is well and truly under way thanks to a pair of hit collaborations. After generating plenty of attention as the guest star of Kanye West’s “Only One,” The Beatles frontman joined Yeezy and Rihanna for “FourFiveSeconds” and returned to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in 29 years. Not bad for an old-timer? Well, the pop legend’s ex-wife isn’t that impressed.

“If I go down the street, all I get is kids coming up to me,” Heather Mills said during an interview on Irish radio. “Half of them don’t even know who he is. That’s why he’s got to do songs with Rihanna and Kanye West, so people remember.” I’m not sure what alternate universe this woman is living in, but she’s displaying a Natalia Kills level of delusion by thinking she’s more famous than Paul McCartney.

Heather, who was married to Sir Paul between 2002 and 2008, felt the need to add: “I own the biggest vegan company in the world.” Which obviously explains her massive celebrity among children. This is embarrassing, but not entirely surprising. Madonna is constantly being criticized for working with younger artists. Of course, these inter-generational collabs are bid to stay relevant. I just don’t understand how that’s a bad thing.
