JAY-Z can spot a good backside when he sees one – he did marry BEYONCE after all.

And it appears one of his protégés has similar taste.

Rapper J. COLE, who is signed to the Jigga Man’s Roc Nation label, has been scanning our Page 3 website for talent to star in his latest video.

Our very own COURTNIE, 21, from Plymouth, has been hand-picked by the rapper’s reps, who have been searching for a “pretty brunette with a good bum”. They are flying the model out to LA next month to shoot the video for a single from his Born Sinner album.

Courtnie said: “They saw my pictures online and got in touch. I’m up for the lead girl in the video. My bum is what I’m known for. It sets me apart from other girls and the casting agent seems to like me so I’m confident.

“Hopefully it could lead to me appearing in a Jay-Z video one day. That would be amazing.”

J. Cole was the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation firm back in 2009. He’s since worked with the main man himself as well as DRAKE, MISSY ELLIOTT and RIHANNA

J. Cole — real name Jermaine — led LEWIS HAMILTON astray last summer when they went on a bender and ended up in a London hotel with a group of girls.

So there’s little chance of NICOLE SCHERZINGER working with him.
