The 37-year-old hip hop star said that he relies on autotune technology to get away with using his voice on tracks while making an appearance on 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man'.

"I'm working on my singing abilities. I like staying in the studio. The computer allows me to make music, sing it myself, and not wait around for a singer to come along and sing the songs.

"The computer allows me to execute a lot of my ideas at the speed that I think them so that's why I lean to the auto tune. It's a rare combination to have someone who can write songs and sing well," he said.

 

'The Voice' mentor also denied the UK show's ratings were in decline, despite figures showing they have almost halved from more than 10 million viewers to an average 5.6 million since it launched.

"I checked Wikipedia once and it said I was one million years old, so you can't always believe what you read."
