Rapper KANYE WEST has paid tribute to JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE as the only other contemporary musician as influential as him, and claims the pair are the modern day equivalent of PRINCE and MICHAEL JACKSON.
West admits he owes his success to Timberlake.
He tells the upcoming October issue of American magazine XXL, "My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake. He’s the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level - black radio, white radio.
"If Justin hadn’t come out and killed the game, I can’t say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they’re on.
"We push each other. I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day."
