Idris Elba says Meghan Markle gave him a list of songs to play at her wedding
British actor Idris Elba has revealed a few of the tunes Meghan Markle requested when he was the DJ at her wedding to Prince Harry.
Elba — who is a talented DJ when he's not acting — opened up about his job at the royal wedding reception during an interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra.
"A lot of tunes went off," Elba said, revealing one of the songs he played was 'I Want to Dance With Somebody' by Whitney Houston. "Meghan sent me a playlist with some bare tunes on it."

The 46-year-old actor hesitated to share what else was on the former Suits star's playlist, but admitted, "There was some West Coast on it. That's all I'm saying."
When asked if songs by Tupac, Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg were played, Elba laughed and said, "I'm not gonna put their business out like that, that's not fair. Ask Meghan and Harry."
Elba previously revealed how he came to DJ at the royal wedding during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"So Harry and I, we've hung out a couple of times through his dad's charity, The Prince's Trust, helped me out as a young actor," he explained to Ellen DeGeneres. "And so I do a lot of work with them; met Harry and William a few times. And Harry came to a couple of parties that I DJed and he was like, 'Hey man, what are you doing on that date?' And I go, 'Ah nothing.' And he goes, 'Hmm, would you DJ at my wedding?' I was like, 'Is this a joke? Are you joking?'"
