Usain Bolt Reveals Favourite Musicians Are Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z

Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man over 100 metres and 200m, has revealed he is a fan of Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne.

The double Olympic and World champion said he liked to listen to reggae music at championships and hip-hop when at home in Jamaica.

Bolt told MTV: "When I was in the Olympics. I didn't really listen to music. During the Olympics, it was mainly reggae, a little hip-hop.

“But I like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, those guys. That's who we listen to in Jamaica. A little bit of Ludacris. But as long as it's hot, we got it."

When asked who is favourite musician was, the sprinter replied: "Right now, it's Lil Wayne, #1. He's hot. He's got everything. He sings the right tunes. I'm seriously listening to all his songs right now.

“Really sitting down, listening to his lyrics, and he's got his lyrics [down] pat now. He's got his lyrics. He's coming up like Jay-Z. He's smooth.”

Bolt broke his own 100m and 200m world records at the Athletics World Championships in Berlin earlier this month.

Jay-Z's forthcoming album, 'The Blueprint 3', is released on September 11.
