Kelly Rowland's friends doesn't like British accent?'

Kelly Rowland is worried she will get a British accent like Madonna if she stays in the UK too long.

The Motivation hitmaker is currently residing in Britain while she works as a judge on The X Factor and is concerned she may end up sounding like the Hung Up singer who developed a transatlantic accent when she was living in the country with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie because of all the time she is spending in Europe.

“If I went back to the States and I took some these accent moments with me, my friends would cut me down!” she said.

“They’d be like, ‘Oh, Madonna, really?!’ Like they would go in on me and I love Madonna, but yeah. I would need to be over here for years in order to get a British accent, not a couple of months.”

The former Destiny’s Child star who is about to release the international version of her album Here I Am on November 28 is enjoying her time in Britain, and has discovered several new artists since touching down in London.

“Right now I love Emeli Sande, Chase and Status, Labrinth and of course Tinie Tempah who I’ve collaborated with. And it goes without saying, Adele,” she said.
