Cheryl Can Take Over The World, Says Kanye West

09:59, Monday, 14 May 2012

Hip-hop megastar Kanye West has tipped Cheryl Cole for world domination - and insisted that she can do it without Simon Cowell's help.

Chezza was on the verge of global stardom last year as a judge on the US version of The X Factor, before being dropped in favour of Nicole Scherzinger at the last minute.

But Yeezy is apparently a big fan and has insisted that she doesn't need any more assistance from the reality TV mogul.

He told the Daily Star Sunday: "I don't see Cheryl ever working with Simon again. She has gone on to big things since the US X Factor.

"She is taking over the world in music and in movies. There's no looking back for her, just forward. She's going to get bigger and bigger."

Chezza has already been confirmed to be collaborating with Lana Del Rey and Will.I.Am on her forthcoming album, A Million Lights - and the latest act reported to have been lined up is Brit rapper Wretch 32.

The Daily Star quoted a source as saying: "Cheryl is a big fan of Wretch's album and was really keen to get him involved. She wanted a British rapper and was delighted when he agreed to do it."

The singer-turned-actress is reportedly set to put in a public appearance at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
