David Guetta is "gross," according to rising star Lorde. The rising teen star from New Zealand didn't care if French DJ and music producer is a top player in the international music scene. There was just no way she'd collaborate with him.

According to FasterLouder.com.au, Ella Yelich-O'Connor, Lorde's real name, was informed by her manager Scott Maclachlan that Guetta wanted to work with her for his next album.

Lorde's reply was simple:

"No. F*** no. He's so gross."

How Guetta became gross was never explained. Guetta has millions of albums sold, and a number of singles that have reached the top of UK charts. He has collaborated with some of the most recognisable artists of today, including Akon, The Black Eyed Peas, Kid Cudi, Kelly Rowland, Snoop Dogg, Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna.

But as Lorde is a self-professed feminist, perhaps the reason why she didn't want to work with him is because of the message of his songs, some of which have sexual connotations and about typical party scenes like "Little Bad Girl," "Sexy B****," and "Where Them Girls At."

Nevertheless, Lorde's manager did not pursue the matter so it's safe to say that fans won't be seeing any Lorde-Guetta collaboration in the future.

But while Guetta did not reach Lorde's standard, Kanye West did.

"Meeting people like Kanye West - people who are into what you do and what you do and understand about having a vision - I can relate to," she told the UK paper The Sun.

"He is so driven and has such a unique way of seeing things. I'd love to work with him or Prince. Meeting Prince would be such an honour."

Lorde, who turns 17 on November 7, has also addressed the accusation of a U.S. blogger that her chart-topping song "Royals" is racist, conceding that the claim might have merit.

"I was 15 when I wrote that song," she told FasterLouder. "I wasn't thinking about anyone's cultural aspirations. I was being a bit silly. I don't know. I can understand [the response] now, and it's probably not my place to even comment on it. It's just one of those kind of uncomfortable grey areas.
