How did I miss that when it came out in the first place?

It’s so crazy.’

And I’m going, ‘Who is that girl with the red hair?’

and it was Kelis.”

TheRushmorestar recalled being so taken with the song that he felt he had to connect with Kelis eventually.

“I just had to meet her some time,” Murray said.

“She turns out to be spectacular.

Actually, I spoke with her recently.

She bought land in Kenya, in Africa.

She’s in Africa.

She is not afraid of the dark.

Kelispreviously dismissedchatter about her rumored relationship with Murrayon Instagram.

“I don’t know anything about that,” Murray said.

“There’s a lot of stories like that.

I’m told that I was supposed to be Batman, which makes me laugh.”

Murray continued, “I think that’s probably not a true story.

I don’t think that’s a true story.

Ernie Hudson got the job, and Ernie’s a super-cool guy.

He’s my friend.

But it wasn’t like it was between those two, I don’t think.

It didn’t happen that way at all.

It wasn’t that way.”
