Estelle: 'I met Kanye at Chicken House'

Rex Features

Estelle has revealed that she first met her musical collaborator Kanye West at Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n' Waffles.

The pair, who are currently number one in the UK charts with the single 'American Boy', bumped into each other at the Hollywood soul food eatery.

She told the Daily Telegraph: "I went to Roscoe's Chicken and bumped into Kanye.

"I was like, 'Lord, if you're above, I need to meet Kanye, he needs to come outside.' Ten seconds later he came out and I went 'Thank you, Jesus!'"

The R&B star claimed she wasn't intimidated by West and revealed that she adopted a "Don't waste my time, I won't waste your time" approach with the US star.

Estelle's new album Shine was released on Monday.
