Paul McCartney, who recently collaborated with Kanye West on Rihanna's single 'FourFiveSeconds', said that the rapper is the new John Lennon.

The former Beatles member told The Sun that he was not sure at first to work with the 37-year-old rapper.

The 72-year-old musician continued that the American rapper is amazingly talented but controversial and can make unconventional moves and he realised if it didn't work out they would just say so and shake hands and leave.

McCartney also said that West was dissonantly similar to his late bandmate Lennon when it came to creating music.
