Redman Reflects on Receiving a $250,000 Publishing Check for Christina Aguilera’s ‘Dirrty’

Redman reflected on receiving a huge publishing check for hopping on Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty." See what he said.

Redman couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the first six-figure publishing check for hopping on Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty” in 2002. The New Jersey rapper was blown away by the astonishing sum and revealed to Red Bull Spiral earlier this week that it was actually for more than $250,000, and it ended up being one of his favorite collaborations in his career. “Dirrty” served as the lead single from Aguilera’s 2002 album, Stripped, which also included hits such as “Beautiful” and “Fighter.” Dave LaChapelle hopped behind the camera to direct the “Dirrty” video, and the platinum-certified hit was nominated for best pop collaboration with vocals at the 2003 Grammy Awards.
