Like many brides, Meghan Markle<\/a><\/strong> had specific music requests for her and Prince Harry<\/a><\/strong>‘s 2018 royal wedding.<\/p>\n

Actor Idris Elba<\/a><\/strong>, who DJed the reception, told BBC Radio 1Xtra<\/a> in a recent interview that the Los Angeles actress-turned-Duchess of Sussex sent him a playlist of songs to play. <\/p>\n

One of the tracks she requested: Whitney Houston<\/a><\/strong>‘s 1987 pop hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” a popular choice for weddings.<\/p>\n

“Did that go off? Mate, a lot of tunes went off. Meghan sent me a playlist,” Elba said on the radio show.<\/p>\n

And guests apparently enjoyed some rap as well.<\/p>\n

“There was some West Coast on it. That’s all I’m saying,” Elba said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Dr. Dre<\/a><\/strong>?” asked radio host Ace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Look, I’m not gonna put the business out like that,” Elba said. “It’s not fair.”<\/p>\n

“Meghan had some Tupac<\/a><\/strong>…is that what you’re telling me?” Ace prodded.<\/p>\n

“No, I’m not. I am not saying nothing,” Elba said. “No no no, but seriously, ask Meghan and Harry.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Several months ago, Elba talked about DJing the royal wedding with E! News’ Zuri Hall<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“It was amazing to be able to DJ and make them happy,” he said. “They had music choices that they wanted to hear and it was incredible, it was great.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
