Wolfie87	Is that Prince on guitar on Rihanna's "Kiss It Better"? Sounds like it could be him. And didn't she say that they made a song together on her new album?

So if a song have electric guitar line than we think its Prince? Song does have Prince vibe but that guitar does not sound like Prince at all.

He and Joshua had produced a song for Rihanna.

Prince had nothing to do with "Kiss It Better".

That's Nuno Bettencourt from the band Extreme playing guitar on "Kiss It Better".

He's no stranger to playing guitar on R&B artists records. Back in the day, he played guitar on "Black Cat" by Janet Jackson. Although, there were multiple versions of that song. The radio edit and video edit had Nuno on. The album version was Jellybean Johnson, Jesse Johnson and John McClain. And there was yet ANOTHER mix with Vernon Reid from Living Colour, called the "Guitar Mix".

SPYZFAN1	Thanks Militant..I had a feeling it wasn't P....It makes sense that it's Nuno..He has a recent clip online where he's jamming and singing lead on "S.O.T.T"..Great player and cool guy.
