Bebe Rexha Reveals How Diplo Created ‘The Super Dirty Cut’ Megamix for ‘Dirty Blonde’
The album’s supercut version was inspired by hip-hop mixtapes.
Bebe Rexha recently spoke with SiriusXM Hits 1 hosts Nicole Ryan, Ryan Sampson, and Stanley T on “The Morning Mash Up” about her dating life, upcoming “Dirty Blonde” album, and fangirling over KATSEYE at the GRAMMYs.
“I just signed an independent deal,” Bebe shared. “I’m very, very excited, and I’m with Empire now, and what I love about that is … When you’re at a major label, things are maybe a bit more traditional. And what I mean by traditional is, you pick one song, you put that one song out, you put all your eggs in one basket, you put all your budget in it, and if it doesn’t deliver what you want, to me, I’m like, ‘You just spent three years putting together a whole project.’ So I told my team, I said, ‘I want to shoot 13 visuals.'”
She confirmed she shot 13 music videos for “Dirty Blonde” over the course of three days.
“One outfit per video, ’cause you know, then it would have been, what? Thirteen times three. It would have been a little bit much,” Bebe said. “They’re all at different setups. We went to burger joints. We were everywhere in LA, and then last week we released a supercut … We put [together] 20 seconds of our favorite parts of each video and each part of the songs. We created a little mini movie situation, and then we put it out, so now we’re seeing what the fans are liking, because we want to see what the people like too.”
She added, “It’s like, you know what we wanted to do? Back in the day, they had the hip-hop mixtapes. I went to Diplo, and I was like … instead of just it being fading in and out of songs, I was like, ‘Could you make me like a megamix of all the best parts of the songs that you like?’ So he made a four-minute-and-something thing.”
“Dirty Blonde” drops June 12, 2026.
