In a recent interview, Angie Stone reveals actor Idris Elba had a massive crush on her after her break-up with R&B singer D’Angelo, but she banished him to the friend zone.
“When Idris and I were working on that video [I Want to Thank You] Idris was actually crushing on me. The sad part about it is I wasn’t checking for him like that,” Stone told Madame Noire. “For a very long time he made it very public that he was in love with Angie Stone, and I had already been with D’Angelo…We did become very close, but not in that way,”
Later I found out how he was going on with his homeboys about how I didn’t want to date him. But I had already gone out there on a limb about how I would never date Idris because he’s like my brother. So I had to stick to my guns. Do I regret it? Absolutely. But the one thing about is, I have the luxury of knowing he was digging me.”
