    The Brit singing sensation reportedly charmed the rapper when they met up in London last week

    Beyonce may have been busy preparing for Glastonbury and a string of secret gigs, but it seems her hubby Jay-Z has also been hard at work during their UK stay.

    According to reports, the rapper held a series of music meetings with up-and-coming British talent, who he would like to work with in America.

    And the first person on his hit list? Singing sensation Adele.

    ’Jay has been making the most of his trip over here,’ one insider told the Sun.

    ‘It's not often he is overwhelmed by people when he meets them, but Adele was on top form as usual. She talked him under the table. He was chuckling all the way through their chat.’

    ‘He told her he was going to Glastonbury and she gave him a guide of what to see. She said he must catch Paulo Nutini. She said he was the must-see act of the festival.’
