Curtis James Jackson III, 39, famously known as rapper 50 Cent, believes that former One Direction member Zayn Malik, 22, can be the next Justin Timberlake, 34.
In an interview with MTV News at Fizz, Las Vegas on April 23, 50 Cent said Malik's vision on his own is always different from what it is in One Direction.
"Like Justin Timberlake, as Justin Timberlake, away from the group. It's a lot of potential," 50 Cent said. "That was ballsy of me to say that. Now Justin's mad at me. But it is one of those things that you can see something interesting come out of him selecting what he wants."
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that "Bad Teacher 2" is happening but there is still no confirmation whether or not Timberlake is reprising his role.
Only the newly Cameron Diaz, 42, and Alexis Rosasco are confirmed to be in the cast of "Bad Teacher 2," which will be directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Justin Malen.
Earlier this year, Diaz got married to Benji Madden, whose twin brother Joel Madden is married to Nicole Ritchie.
Formerly known together as The Good Charlotte, the twin brothers have been recently recording as the Madden Brothers and their new album "Greetings from California" is set to be released on Sept. 16.
"I'm really happy right now," Benji told People at the Alt 98.7 Penthouse Party at Hollywood Tower, where he and Joel performed an acoustic set of new music including their new single "We Are Done."
