The pop star takes on the heartfelt ballad dedicated to the rapper's mother.
Sounds like Nick Jonas wants to work with Kanye West!
The pop star tweeted at the rapper Sunday, sending him a link to a cover of "Only One," the heartfelt ballad that Kanye produced with Sir Paul McCartney. The song, the first single of a purported larger collaboration between the two music legends, is sung from the perspective of Kanye’s late mother Donda West.

“I love this song so much I had to sing it myself,” Jonas wrote in his tweet.
Jonas’ cover was pretty spot-on, though he thankfully left off the end section where Kanye references his daughter North West, singing “Tell Nori about me.”

Kanye has yet to respond, so we’ll leave it to the fans to decide whether this is a touching tribute or just a little desperate.
