When asked as to if he would help turn the former X Factor star into a UK version of himself, the 40-year-old replied: "I'd say keep the sound to what he does now.
"Musically if he was inclined to do something different I would open the door in that way.
"You know I wouldn't force a direction but that's what a collaboration is it's the artists finding a place between each other.
But don't get too excited just yet Directioners, 50 Cent stayed coy as to whether contracts have been signed simply adding: "it would be interesting."
