"Ya Di Ya" is a song by American R&B singer, Gina Thompson. It features guest vocals by Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and was released as the lead single from Thompson's unreleased album, If You Only Knew (1999).
The song became a minor hit, where it peaked at #38 on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and scored Thompson her second top 40 R&B hit and Elliott's fifteenth overall top 40 R&B hit.[2] Because of its strong radio airplay and charting outside the United States, a "Rufftime" remix was issued via international pressings of "Ya Di Ya".[3]
To date, "Ya Di Ya" is Thompson's only single as a leading artist to chart outside the United States.
Music video
The music video for the song premiered in early July 1999 on The Box.[4] It begins with Gina Thompson, alongside background dancers dressed in white, dancing and lip-syncing to the song. Thompson is then seen arguing with the song's antagonist over the phone before throwing the phone in a fish-tank. Missy Elliott is later shown in a silver attire performing her part.
