Example has revealed plans to collaborate with Enrique Iglesias.
The singer - real name Elliot Gleave - explained that the Spanish star approached him to work together, despite it not being an "obvious" hook-up.
Example told the Daily Star: "I've been approached by Enrique Iglesias to do something.
"It may not seem like an obvious match-up but I feel I can write for anyone. Everyone from Kylie Minogue to cool dubstep artists have asked me to do stuff. It's great."
Following his Twitter jibes at acts such as Alexandra Burke, The Saturdays and Cher Lloyd, the 'Stay Awake' rapper has been branded a 'pop hater'.
However, Example insisted that's not the case, saying: "I was just being honest. Now people think if it's a popstar I automatically hate them. But I study pop music, it's my job. I love Lady GaGa, JLS and loads of pop music."
The 29-year-old has even written a song for boyband The Wanted and formed his own girl group named Oh My!
He added: "They are good guys. I've written them a ballad. It's fun, quite romantic. And then there's my own girlband Oh My! who are supporting The Saturdays on tour. That's big for them."
Example recently had to add five extra dates to his upcoming arena tour in April due to popular demand.
> Example, Pixie Lott, Ed Sheeran added to T4 Stars of 2011 lineup
