JAY-Z WANTS ALLEN COLLABORATION
Rap mogul JAY-Z is hoping LILY ALLEN cancels her plan to retire from musi= c in March (10) - he wants to team up with the British pop star on stage = this summer (10).
The hip-hop star is set to perform at the Wireless music festival in Lo= ndon in July (10), and he has approached the Smile singer about joining h= im at the gig.
But he will have to work hard to convince her - Allen has already annou= nced she is taking a two-year hiatus after her shows with rapper Dizzee R= ascal next month (Mar10).
He tells BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat, "I spoke to Lily Allen. I’m trying to = get her for Wireless. Hopefully that goes through. I bum-rushed them in t= he corner where they can’t say no. I know her for a minute (sic). I think= she’s a great artist. I respect her. We just haven’t (collaborated) yet.
"I’ve collaborated with so many artists. It’s pressure because on the d= ays when they don’t come out I have to over perform. It’s like, ‘You bett= er make me happy that Beyonce’s not here tonight’." Jay-Z will also perform a string of arena shows in the U.K. in June (10= ).
