Jay-Z wants to help Cheryl Cole become a success in the US. The rapper-and-businessman has offered to assist the ‘Fight for This Love’ singer launch her solo career overseas after seeing how successful she has become in Britain.
He said: ‘I keep a close eye on the music industry throughout the world and I know how hot Cheryl is in the UK. The US marker is the toughest one to break into, but once you do it is by far the most lucrative. I think Cheryl has that talent to do it. There is nobody in the US like her right now and I would be very interested in helping her break the US market this year.”
The 40-year-old musician was first tipped off about the 26-year-old Girls Aloud singer after his pop star wife Beyonce Knowles watched her sing live. He explained: ‘Beyonce has seen her perform and she told me how impressed she was. I checked her out and I was impressed as well.’
