Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn and hip-hop star Ice Cube have met up to discuss a collaboration.

The pair got together at a VIP room at a London club, with Ice Cube apparently interested in playing a role in the cartoon band's next album.

A source said: “Ice Cube seemed keen — and drank the best cognac. But he was distracted by the conveyor belt of women being brought in.”

Albarn, however, appeared the less interested party to onlookers, and only stayed in the meeting half an hour before returning to the main area of the club.
