Estelle: 'I Am The Female Version Of Jay-Z'

Estelle has claimed that she is the female version of US rapper Jay-Z.

The singer is said to be overwhelmed that the rapper has begun to sample her recent hit 'American Boy' in his set.

The song, which originally featured Kanye West, was a constant feature on Jay-Z's recent UK tour, including his appearance at Glastonbury.


Speaking to the Mirror newspaper, Estelle said: "I am the female version of Jay-Z. And I thought, 'When Jay-Z knows who I am, when he wants to work with me, then I'll have made it.'

“Everyone else could go to hell,” she added.
