The crowd at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding reception really ‘went off’ on these songs, Idris Elba says

As if Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding extravaganza wasn't epic enough already, Idris Elba has revealed a detail about the evening reception that followed, attended by the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Serena Williams. And the Luther star and professional deejay would know, because he spent some time spinning the tunes that night in May 2018. Elba co-hosted Saturday's episode of the BBC's 1Xtra's Rap Show With Tiffany Calver, during which Calver asked him about the songs that got everyone dancing at the fete. He explained that it was Whitney Houston's 1987 pop hit "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" — "they went off" — and "Still D.R.E." by Dr. Dre from 1999. The Dre track was "Meghan's choice," he said.
