The 'Run This Town' rapper admitted that he was impressed watching Usher perform a tribute to the late Michael Jackson at the Grammy Awards.
"I thought the Michael Jackson tribute was fantastic and I thought Usher was doing a magnificent job," he told Access Hollywood.
"I think he's one of the guys that’s in line to, you know, fill those huge shoes. I don't wanna put that pressure on him, but I think he's one of the guys that's in line to do that."
Usher joined Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson and Carrie Underwood to perform Jackson's 'Earth Song' at the annual awards ceremony, which was held at the Los Angeles Staples Centre on January 31.
Jackson's eldest two children Prince Michael, 12, and 11-year-old Paris Katherine took to the stage to accept their father's Lifetime Achievement Award following the performance.
