Kanye West has never been shy about voicing his opinions – but his latest claim may raise a frown from pop fans.
Spilling his opinions on some of the biggest music acts in the world, the mouthy rapper said he believes Coldplay are “more talented” than The Beatles.
He told The Sun, "We have had amazing bands like NIRVANA and GUNS N' ROSES but it's the British who have had the cream with The Beatles and THE ROLLING STONES setting the standard. I love Coldplay, and I honestly think they are on the same level as The Beatles.
"In 30 years, when Coldplay are old men, people will look back and say, 'These guys were more talented than The Beatles.'”
But could his outlandish claim simple be a way of buttering up the band - fronted by Chris Martin - to team up for a duet?
"I have worked with some greats in my career but I really want to get in the studio and make an album with Coldplay,” he added.
“JAY-Z and LINKIN PARK made a sick album, and on paper that shouldn't have worked but it did.
"I want to meet with Chris and talk seriously about doing that.
"With us all in the studio we could create one of the greatest albums ever."
