ASHLEY COLE is in talks with JAY-Z to learn how to tackle the music business. But there won’t be any JOHN BARNES-style raps – Ash wants to work behind the scenes, thankfully, not in front of the mic.<\/p>\n

The pair and their teams of advisers have been in regular contact recently to discuss ways they could work together.<\/p>\n

And it’s not just Chelsea defender Ashley who is keen to explore business ventures, Jay also wants to add football to his list of investments. A source said: “Ash is a big hip-hop fan and is mates with rappers like TINCHY STRYDER so it’s no surprise that he wants to work with Jay-Z.<\/p>\n

“After spending years married to CHERYL COLE he knows a bit about the business too. He’s still got a good few years playing ahead of him but is looking ahead to what he’ll do when he leaves the game.<\/p>\n

The pair first met at a gig in 2009 and have kept in touch since. Jay is a huge sports fan and owns a share of basketball team the New Jersey Nets. He knows how big soccer is and that there is money to be made. The rapper will need a better understanding of the game than most Americans, mind.<\/p>\n

Jay-Z, founder of entertainment empire Roc Nation, and his right-hand man JAY BROWN have been increasingly involved in the UK music scene recently. Earlier this year they signed a deal with the Three Six Zero group – who look after such acts as CALVIN HARRIS and HURTS – which will help Roc Nation launch artists in Europe.<\/p>\n

That means Ashley would have managers and industry experts ready if he decides to launch a label with the rap mogul.<\/p>\n

Last year the England player admitted he was keen to get involved in signing music artists when he retires from playing. He said: “There are a few people I’ve spoken to including other players who are involved in music. “I love TINIE TEMPAH, some 50 CENT, EMINEM and I like meeting guys like Tinchy. So it’s something I’d like to do when I’m finished playing. I hope so.”<\/p>\n

Wannabe singer DIDIER DROGBA could be the first one hassling him for a deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
