Rihanna was in London earlier this week recording vocals to a track for the late hip hop star

THE sad death of the legendary Fatman Scoop last month aged just 56 shocked the music industry, when he collapsed on stage during a concert in Connecticut.

And now, I have been told a number of his famous pals, including Rihanna and her boyfriend Asap Rocky have come together to pay tribute to Scoop on a song.

Last month Rocky revealed he had recorded a new track, Happy Hood, with Scoop as well as Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, Flavor Flav and Morrissey.

And insiders told me Ri-Ri has now added some vocals..

She has been holed up in the Red Bus Recording Studios in London earlier this week where she recorded vocals.

A source said: “Rihanna and Scoop knew each other well.

“They had collaborated before and more recently Scoop had recorded a song, Happy Hood, on Rocky’s upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb.

“After his death, Rihanna was offered the chance to put some vocals on it.

“She spent the start of this week holed up in Red Bus Recording Studios in London.

“It was a super low key visit and she was there for a day or two until the early hours.”

Rocky revealed he had recorded Hood Happy with Scoop during a chat with Zane Lowe on Apple 1 Music.

He said: “I literally tried to figure out how to get my favourite rappers.

“So I got a track with Fatman Scoop, Flavour Flav, Slick Rick, Morrissey, and Busta Rhymes all on one.

It’s kind of nuts. We call that one Hood Happy. That’s coming soon.”

Rocky ended up pushing back the release date of Don’t Be Dumb, which was supposed to come out on August 30 – telling his fans he wanted to make the “best album ever,” meaning the track still hasn’t been heard.

The updated version is expected to be put out on Don’t Be Dumb when it drops later this year.

Last month, we revealed how Rihanna had started work on her much anticipated new record.

Insiders told us the singer had gone back to the studio to continue working on her ninth album, which is the follow up to her 2016 record Anti.
