Monster hit-maker The-Dream swung by Mr. Tim Westwood’s legendary radio show during his latest travels to the Queens kingdom. The singer/songwriter took the hot seat and spoke candidly amongst topics of his divorce from Christina Milian, the story of writing Justin Bieber’s smash single “Baby,” how much exactly he personally made from Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (15 Million!!!), plus said he’s Rihanna’s “lil pet.”

After the jump, watch the second clip, where Terius spoke about working or not working with Ciara, his “executive” songwriting deal, talks R. Kelly’s importance and his vision of what R&B is, plus he sings a little live acapella. One of the most interesting points he made is at the very end of part 2. Talking about his style as an artist, he mentions Rihanna, how on her albums she mixes in Pop records with some raw, real emotion, or extra sexy tracks too, and compares it to the success of Snickers, mixing the ‘salty’ with the ‘sweet.’
