Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am has tipped Cheryl Cole to recover after being sacked as a judge on The X Factor USA.
The rapper, who is Cole's American manager, said the Girls Aloud star had several other projects in the pipeline.
“Cheryl always comes back stronger, and she always comes back bigger,” he told Heat magazine. “Cheryl has been through rougher things than this, so this is going to be no problem for her.”
Will.i.am, who told people not to blame Simon Cowell for Cole's sacking, revealed that the singer was set to head back into the studio.
“Over the next few months Cheryl is potentially going to be working with artists like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Usher and, of course, the Peas,” he said.
Earlier today (May 31), it was confirmed that Cole would not be returning as a judge on The X Factor UK.
