JAY Z'S BROMANCE WITH COLDPLAY'S CHRIS MARTIN!

One spits rhymes, the other croons tunes. The first grew up in hardscrabble Brooklyn; the second rose from tony Exeter, England. Yet, somehow Jay-Z and Coldplay’s Chris Martin have formed a full-blown musical bromance.

“I love his music and he’s a super-cool guy,” Martin has said of Jay. “It just happens that one of us is a nerd and the other is the coolest multi-entrepreneur on the planet.”

Jay seems just as surprised by the connection. He told The Mirror in London that, had he met Martin when he was a far younger and rougher man in the Marcy Projects, he would have thought, “‘Yo! Who are you? Give me your money.’”

That was then.

More recently, the two have double dated with their A-list wives (Beyoncé and Gwyneth Paltrow, respectively), cut a few songs together and, last year, played a New Year’s Eve joint-headlining concert in Vegas.

This New Year's they’ll repeat the hook-up at Barclays Center. In the process, they’ll affirm their place in a long line of Musical Odd Couples.
