Jay Z feels Nick Jonas is the 'next Justin Timberlake'

Jay Z feels that Nick Jonas has the potential to make it big in the music industry. The 45-year-old rapper feels the former Jonas Brothers singer can follow in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake.

The 99 Problems hit-maker was impressed by the 22-year-old singer's performance at the 2015 Budweiser Made in America Festival held at Benjamin Franklin Parkway on 5 September in Philadelphia. Jay Z, who has worked with Timberlake on several collaborations, including the hits Suit & Tie and Holy Grail, is interested in a collaboration with Nick.

"Jay Z is always a forward thinking businessman and always wants to be on the cutting edge of music, business and anything else that will make him the entrepreneur that he is — and his next project is Nick Jonas," a source told Hollywood Life. "He wants to record with him and he wants Beyonce to record with him. He sees Nick as the next Justin Timberlake."

The Cry Me A River singer and Nick have both jumped from boy band fame to solo stardom. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, the Jealous hit-maker said he is happy that he has been compared to Timberlake.

"It's an honour. That's somebody that I definitely looked at and said, 'If I could have a trajectory like that, that'd be incredible.' I kind of put my own twist on it, but yeah, it's been a really special year," he said.
