Rihanna has revealed that she is to team up with JLS for a forthcoming single.
The chart-topping star, who has previously voiced her admiration for band member Marvin Humes, will join the group for a new project which is being masterminded by Jay-Z.
According to The Sun, Jay-Z is keen to help JLS pursue their US ambitions and also wants to link them up with wife Beyoncé and friend Kanye West.
Rihanna told the newspaper: "Working with JLS is something that will happen this year. Jay will make stars out of them. He has been a great mentor to me.
"He has been around long enough to spot real talent and he knows who will become worldwide stars."
She added: "I will be working with them on one of their singles and am sure Kanye and Bey will collaborate with them on tracks as well.
"America has only had a little taste of them so far, but give it probably as little as 18 months and they could be the most famous band in the world."
In February, Jay-Z claimed that JLS have the potential to be as big as 'N Sync.
