While his wife Beyoncé was performing at the Glastonbury Festival, music mogul Jay-Z made the most of his time in England by meeting up with Rolling in the Deep hitmaker Adele for lunch to discuss a possible collaboration, reports the Sun.
Adele has been slowly recovering from throat problems that saw the cancellation of her sold-out U.S. tour a couple of weeks back. The Empire State of Mind hitmaker is reportedly “keen” to work with the singer, and believes they can make a “massive record.”
A source confirmed: “Jay has been making the most of his trip over here. It’s not often he is overwhelmed by people when he meets them, but Adele was on top form as usual.
"She talked him under the table. He was chuckling all the way through their chat.
"He’s keen to work with her, whether it’s producing or writing together. She was a huge hit in the States and he believes they could make a massive record together.
"He told her he was going to Glastonbury and she gave him a guide of what to see. She said he must catch Paolo Nutini. She said he was the must-see act of the festival."
When she met him at the Grammy awards in 2009, it appears Adele may have had a case of déja vu when she claimed the rapper "smells like money.”
She said: "Standing in a queue with Jay-Z, Kanye West and will.i.am. It was like an actual dream. I felt so out of place. Jay-Z smells delicious. He smells like money!"
