Hot Shot: Cher Lloyd In Studio With Lil’ Wayne

Published: Thursday 13th Jan 2011 by Sam

Cher Lloyd‘s team appear to be pulling out all the stops to ensure the singer’s debut album is a winner. Currently recording in Los Angeles, the 17 year old X Factor star today Tweeted the image above, of her and rapper Lil’ Wayne in the studio together. The Hip-Hop heavyweight joins a host of A-listers set to feature on the project; a list which includes will.i.am and RedOne. Reliable word has it the LP will be released later this year via Syco/Sony Music, as opposed to Roc Nation/Sony Music as first reported.

While the contrived nature of Lloyd’s X Factor stint makes it easy to be cynical (about her material), we’ll wait to hear what she’ll be serving up before passing judgement.

    I’m looking forward to hearing what Cher comes up with.

    Damn, it seems like this girl is working faster and harder than the X Factor winner himself…

    She is going to take over when she comes out!!!!!!!

    @ the people above. Have you seen this girl perform? Did you watch her performances on the Xactor? She choked up on several occasions and was only put through because cheryl cole favoured her. On top of that she was rude, dishonest, bad mannered and has a history of bullying others! Cher is evidently talentless and is only getting this kind of attention because the devil of North England and her puppy simon cowell have big connections.

    I suspect she’ll market her silly music to gullible black people who’ll buy anything by a white girl who raps (and badly at that).

    Cher is as much of a rapper as Vanilla Ice!

  5. sabrina January 13, 2011

    She has such a bad rep already and she just started! She needs to humble herself.

    @JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS

    The only thing you have said that I agree with, based on sufficient evidence, is the fact Cheryl put her through because she favoured her.

    Yes, I watched every single episode of The X Factor last year and can confidently clarify that you are exaggerating. Cher choked up ONCE when performing for Cheryl at the Judge’s house, which she got enough critisism for. And she was quite emotional at the very end of singing “Stay” when she was in the BOTTOM TWO, but she still sang EVERY word of the song and never “choked up”.

    If you’re really “telling it like it is”, ALL of Cher’s performance’s are on YouTube so I challenge you to provide “several” performances where she “choked up”, because ONE doesn’t equal several. You might want to change your name to simply “Hating”, because you haven’t actually told anything how it is, all you’ve done is state an opinion and lie to back it up.

    As for the other stuff you say about Cher, it’s worrying that you’ve been in the world long enough to know how to type yet you still haven’t clocked on to the fact the media lie and exaggerate 99.99% of their news. Besides, every person deserves a second chance. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Don’t try and tell me that YOU’VE never made a mistake in YOUR life.

    I think you’re forgetting that Cher is a seventeen year old, sixteen at the time of X Factor. She’s practically a child. This is the time of her life where she is going to make, AND learn from the mistakes she has committed.

  7. UKbombshell January 13, 2011

    America… ya’ll can have her & please KEEP her. The UK can’t stand her cocky no talent self. She will be a one hit wonder. She ONLY got where she did because Cheryl Cole made her into her mini-me and didn’t give a f*** about the other girls she was mentoring. She can’t rap, she is a mediocre singer (with her squeaky ass) her voice ain’t nothing compared to Rebecca Ferguson. Cheryl Cole’s sucking Williams d*** = big music connections. Getting Lil Wayne on your album is not gonna convince me you have talent but good luck, gimmick.

  8. Lioness January 13, 2011

    kill me now<–pow

  9. FUTURESTARdelux January 13, 2011

    Wow i see Cher is working with all the overrated crack heads of the US music industry, how long until we get the innevetable Nicki Minaj hook up?
    I seriously cannot stand this girl she had 1.5 decent performances on the show, was a b****, only stayed in because of Cheryl and Simon and now she’s strutting through airports like she’s victoria Beckham on a crack binge or something…

    Oh well i suppose soon we’ll have some more generic trash to fawn over, Thanks Jay Z…

  10. JAMES January 13, 2011

    She is the S***.. and she defo cant rap and she defo cant sing… and whoever buys into her music is a DICKHEAD..!!!!

  11. JAMES January 13, 2011

    not THE S***.. JUST PLAIN OLD S***!

  12. TIME 4 CHANGE January 13, 2011

    This seems SO SO SO unjustified.
    The girl has GOT NO TALENT whatsover, yet she is working with BIG AMERICAN ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS?
    Damn, she most feel like she is in a dream. Because she sure dont deserve all of this.

    It makes me sick how American black stars are quick to work wit white people from the UK, But they give the black people of the UK a extra hard time in breaking it. With the exception of Chris Brown and Chipmunk (who look awkward together in their video), there is no really SOLID connection with the black people in London and America. Its sad…

    I mean look how Will.i.am acts with Cheryl Cole, he would never do that to a english black girl.

    and look how jay z has signed Rita Ora (another white girl trying to be black).

    This is getting ridiculous now… It just goes to show how OPRESSED english people are in this country. We need to change our attitude with things and be more DIRECT or white people are gonna be taking over what we should be doing. They are already doing it! UK whites are the new blacks… its saying something and its not good! WE HAVE BEEN SUBMISSIVE FOR TOO LONG…! SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA SHOUT SO THEY CAN HEAR YOU OUT *TINIE TEMPAH VOICE*

  13. Mr Gago January 13, 2011

    I agree @TIMMI>.you are very true…And im excited for her to comee out with her music and they way she is going to present it. I am so tired of people being cruel at new talent and the way the bring it. if everyone sings the same way wont you get bored and be like wow she is trying to be like Beyonce..or Jennifer Hudson or Nicki Minaj..She is Unique and i like how she can rap and sing..its HAWT..she is FIre!

  14. nunyabusiness January 13, 2011

    agree alot with @ just telling it like it is…

    it doesnt seem like she got this far by talent AT ALL!!! just knowing the right people always helps.

    I give her respect for getting to where she’s at and at least tryna make sumn happen… at the end of the day we all have dreams and not all make it. people like her have somekind of hope and in a wierd twisted way she will be a role model to some.
    but as an artist, she got NO talent… she’ll drop an album, but like most she only gona end up fading to black…

    and yeh she needs to humble her self…. when she speaks she comes across so fake!

  15. TIMMI January 13, 2011

    @TIME 4 CHANGE

    Rita Ora isn’t even white. It’s obvious from looking at her she ain’t white, but anyway, FYI, she’s Albanian. How you can say she is trying to be black I do not know. The OLD material that is available from her is pretty plain and doesn’t sound to me like she’s trying to be black. And work from her new album isn’t even out yet.

    I do agree with you though that there are a lot of black people who have been doing what white folk are doing and not getting success for it. But I look at it differently, I don’t hate the player but the game instead.

  16. GorgMon88 January 13, 2011

    YET ANOTHER example of the UK only ‘allowing’ urban music in the charts as long as it has a white face fronting it. she is a talentless chav being given unjustified handouts for what? the whole UK music industry is racist and sucks major ass!

  17. Cameron January 13, 2011

    I thought she was amazing and can’t wait to here what she has to offer but people should stop hating because they don’t no what she is going to be like when she doesn’t have the solo. I hope that her album is fantastic because I am a massive fan! She will take over the charts no matter what everyone else is saying about her!

  18. Loca January 13, 2011

    @Time 4 A Change

    I soooo agree with you, but like my greatgrandmother always says, “Black people have to crawl to position, white people are taken to”…sad but true.

  19. chelsie January 13, 2011

    So let me get this straight. You have alexandra who can perform, and sing but yet she is shoved in the studio with the dreadful Redone and singing songs for the YMCA.. yet Cher, light on the talent is rushed in the studio with lil Wayne wth?

    Also i don’t recall Will.i.am bending over backwards to help Alexandra.

  20. Dunster January 13, 2011

    Its not about talent its about styling, fanbase and songs, talent comes last. Cher may make decent music but im past caring because she is all smoke and mirrors. On xfactor she really didn’t do much but walk up and down the stage and hang off stuff, the dancers and props made the performance (if you like that type of thing) when cher has done her post xfactor performances in clubs with no dancers they’re just blah!

    Also, Cher manipulated the viewers by turning on the waterworks when in the bottom two and then turned them off quickly after being saved

    I have no doubts that Cher will be successful but it won’t be deserved.

  21. Dunster January 13, 2011

    As for the race comments, its true! All of roc nations female artists that i know of are light skinned or white. Beyonce sang with Alexandra and jay-z was talking about how he would help cheryl cole in the U.S

    The problem is that when most black people make it they dont want to help there own.

    Kanye West: gets fame and ditches black girlfriend that stayed with him through his recovery for lighter, whiter models

    jay-z: married light, signed light/white still ugly as f*ck

    Oprah: made it black, catered to the white

  22. pink nails January 13, 2011

    ok everyone shut the f*** up, im black and i happen to like cher i mean why is this a black / white thing the girl is lucky to make it so fast lets hope she can keep it…. haters keep hating she is talented. time will tell

  23. ~BeySoBreezy~ January 13, 2011

    Stay your ass in the UK. We already have enough non-talent women on top of the charts her in America. Its depressing as hell..

  24. ~BeySoBreezy~ January 13, 2011

    her=here***

  25. jeffrie January 13, 2011

    @beysobreezy she does have talent. but yes there are alot of talentless chicks that we need to ship over there too

  26. Dev January 13, 2011

    @PINK NAILS
    Read, digest and get the point!

    More often than not it is a white instead of black thing

  27. bay January 13, 2011

    All u people are f***** pathetic hatin on a lil teenage girl.. its cos she was brave enough to do what she wanted to do that no one else would dare do on that show, and all u little f*** sayin shes arrogant lol ur just mad cos she is super confident and is goin for her dreams . I salute her

  28. Paulie DeStar January 13, 2011

    I actually love how people feel the need to speak for everyone in the UK…@ukbombshell I ACTUALLY LOVE HER, because I refuse to read and believe s*** that is written in the newspaper….

    She is 17 and I believe very talented, yeah Cher is not everyones cup of tea bit why hate? And as for cocky, Erm…Lemmie remind you Oasis, Robbie Williams, etc. are all extremely cocky….as u get nowhere being a door mat! I mean COME ON give the girl a break FFS, it’s all pantomime!

    And as for whoever said she broke down on several performances….I THINK NOT, okay she broke down at Cheryls house, but I’ll challenge you to do something u LOVE and face the risk of being stopped when u just got started….(AGAIN SHE WAS WHAT 16?)

    I believe Cher Lloyd is fresh, new and exciting something that the very boring music industry needs, mark my words, she is gonna be MASSIVE, then I’ll thank all u haters to cone back on here and apologise for ur hating jealous ways….

    Sorry I’m just saying it as it is! 😛

  29. Paulie DeStar January 13, 2011

    Just to add I also love all your racist a*** comments….NOT…why don’t y’all sit the f**k down, SHUT UP and go ahead with your little kicks that you get out of slagging off 17 year old girls…that y’all DO NOT KNOW…

    Geez…small minded OVER OPINIONATED PEOPLE ACTALLY MAKE ME SICK…

  30. Paulie DeStar January 13, 2011

    Just to add I also love all your racist a*** comments….NOT…why don’t y’all sit the f**k down, SHUT UP and go ahead with your little kicks that you get out of slagging off 17 year old girls…that y’all DO NOT KNOW…in the privacy of your own room…

    Geez…small minded OVER OPINIONATED PEOPLE ACTALLY MAKE ME SICK…

  31. Tami January 14, 2011

    @Dunster
    WHAT IS YOUR POINT ABOUT THE ROC LADIES? And you forgot Willow Smith.Anyway who cares what their skin color is or if all the Roc Ladies are light skin!THE MUSIC MATTERS NOT COLOR OF SKIN!SMH

    OH LET ME SEE THIS IS LIL WAYNE NEXT BABY MOMMA TOO!Lol I bet y’all on that!

  32. ChEeRfUl CyNiC XD January 14, 2011

    yh she can take over America cuz England sure doesn’t want her she’s far too cocky for someone who is new

  33. ChEeRfUl CyNiC XD January 14, 2011

    come to think of it are there any prominent black female artists in the UK at the moment smfh

  34. Dunster January 14, 2011

    Its really only white people and sellouts in denial who seem to think that race or skin tone plays no part in life, especially in this country.

    You carry on, it’ll get you at some point.

  35. lola January 14, 2011

    Okay for all of you saying 17 year old girl… oh STFU! She’s damn near 18 and everyone knows that 18 year olds in countries overseas are like American 21 year olds because they can do more things over there legally that 18 year olds in US can’t such as drinking. And I just viewed one of her performances on youtube and she was clearly showing her s*** side with her outfit and voice when singing that mocking bird song on xfactor. I have no idea who she is, but that “Empire State of Mind” performance was absolutely horrible! She’s not that great of a singer and FYI to the whites on here, I believe everyone should be treated equally no matter what race you are, but for some odd reason, it seems like Black American men, who are in the music industry, only want to work with white or other raced women or if she is black, she has to be bi-racial or light skinned. Even Polow Da Don commented about bringing white women to the club and showing them how to shake their ass like a black girl. Look at Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga… why don’t you think we have successful or many dark skinned black singers? Where’s Kelly Rowland, Estelle, Brandy or Alexandra Burke?

  36. blonds January 14, 2011

    Thing that made me dislike cher from the start, when she auditioned with keri hilsons remix, did no one realise she was taking keri’s posture moves and facial expressions? Yeah ok so they are not owned by keri, but don’t cat someone elses stage swagger and carry on with that? It’s a good look to be with wayne, but thats only cos simon knows he will bring in the ratings and make it a no.1 straight away. What happened to working hard for what you want? kmt, bighead chipmunk.

  37. Lure January 14, 2011

    lol..oh please Chear is amazing. The race card etc…it’s not that serious….Im black and I listen to all kinds of music from Adele to Kanye, La Roux….etc #killit she’s just living her life ..why are people so angry #getyourown ps if i dont like someone I dont click on there links nor would I comment on there profiles……I dont listen to Taylor Swift so why would I be interested in anything someone has to say about her…she is not someone I follow….clearly you people like something about her and so does the rest of the music industry lol#stophating

  38. Lure January 14, 2011

    Brandy has achieved success, so has India Arie, and Fantasia also Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson, and the list goes onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. True there are more Light skinned women dominating the charts…….but are you saying there isnt enough women singing that looks like Grace Jones?

  39. Meow January 14, 2011

    Anyone else think Lil Wayne looks like Jasper Carrot?

  40. Shan January 14, 2011

    Can’t Stand this girl… Now if they only put HALF as much effort into Alexandra or even Leona (not saying that her and Lil Wayne would quite work) Then maybe they could release some really decent material instead of cheesy songs like “broken Heels” etc…

  41. LilChidsz January 14, 2011

    AAAAHH!!! Lil Wayne, this is probably the BIGGEST mistake of your life, Cher cannot rap OR sing. She is W.A.M (wack as a motherf-ucka). I guarantee you that 80% of England hates her! and the remaining 20% are highly unlikely to go out and buy or download her album!! Wayne, you have an awesome career and this whole shenanigan will just lose you a hecka lot of fans! I am so annoyed, we watched Cher on X Factor killikng some of he most amazing songs exept for ‘stay with me’ which i have to say was decent. But this is officially tooo far, the cheryl cole mini-me is invading out ears, not because she can sing or rap BUT money money money!! I’ve never heard her sing or rap her OWN lyrics so how the hecka is she gonna make it in the rap game when we have artists like Nicki Minaj and upcoming british grime artists?!! Speakiing of Nicki Minaj, i hope they don’t collaborate… that will be a DISASTER!! :@ 🙁 :'( :@

  42. Cameron January 15, 2011

    Shut the F*** up all you haters! If Jay-Z, SouljaBoy, Cheryl, Simon, will.i.am, Lil’ Wayne, Red One and like all the celebrities in Britain and America like her! And yes she is cocky but what singer is cocky she has talent she can sing and she can rap and she probably petter than half the people on the charts at the moment!

    We need more female rappers because they are all disappearing and she is brave to actually rap because we all know no one every gets far if they rap on the x factor or any singing competition. I think when she makes a CD everyone is going to love her because she must of been liked if she got to the finals in the x factor.

    And it would be amazing if she collaborated with her role model, NickiMinaj, they have both stood out and tried to reach their dreams by rapping and made it so give Cher a break!

  43. Serena January 25, 2011

    aw WHAT! honestly what is lil wayne playing at. if they do a song together i will never listen to him again! iamk totally inlove with dwayne & he i a great artist so i dont see why he would want to lower hiself by singing with some 17 year old girl whos just came off XFactor & PLUS she didnt even win!?!?! LIL WAYNE PLEASE DONT SING WITH HER! i personally think you will lose alot of fans :\

  44. taonga January 30, 2011

    ilove her espaciely that she’s with lil wane in that pic by the way the t~shirht rocks {lil wane}
