Rapper Jay-Z has offered to help Cheryl Cole to launch her solo career in the US.
According to The Sun, 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 market is the toughest one to break into, but once you do it, 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."
