Shaggy confirmed his participation on the summer leg of the Backstreet Boys' Black & Blue tour, along with Destiny's Child, Jessica Simpson and Aaron Carter. The weed-loving Loverman's involvement with the primarily teeny-popper lineup may seem out of place, but after the Backstreet Boys opened for Shaggy during the European leg of his 1995 tour in support of his breakthrough album, Boombastic, the dancehall toaster considers himself a lifelong fan of the so-called boy band. "It's kinda strange now that it's kinda flipped," he said of his opening-act status. "I remember those guys doing malls and all of that.
"They deserve [the success], man," he continued. "They work their asses off. But I tell you what, them boys, you should just call them shovels, 'cause they kinda paved the way for this whole boy-band phenomenon."
With that three-month trek on the horizon - his stint with the Backstreet Boys kicks off June 16.
