Beyoncé's " Run The World" began as a joke

There’s no question that Beyonce’s single “Run The World (Girls)” is one of the biggest hits in recent memory however in a new interview with Diplo he admitted the smash started out as “a joke.”

“I think a lot of people don’t even realize where that song came from,” Diplo recently told BBC’s Radio Newsbeat. “That song never really had a push. It was a song we did, kind of like a funny, kind-of-a-joke song.”
.
Diplo didn’t produce the song (it was technically produced by The-Dream, Beyonce, Switch and Shea Taylor) but he did earn a writing credit due to the song’s sample of his Major Lazer track “Pon de Floor,” however he did produce the song “End Of Time” from Beyonce’s latest disc although it sounds as if sometimes Diplo can’t believe that himself.
.
“We had to finish up a few records we were working with her on,” he explained “That was super-weird, man. Like, I remember we were in the studio working with her and I still couldn’t believe it.”
