Tulisa from N-Dubz says she's not planning to work with Cheryl Cole.

The singer, who will this week take to the stage with Dappy and Fazer at the Mobos, told Newsbeat: "Everybody's been asking me all day. It's not true."

She does admit that if she was asked to, she might, but says she can't see N-Dubz teaming up with Cheryl Cole.

She said: "I'm realistic her label would not want her to work with N-Dubz but if she turned around and wanted us on a record of course we would."

Tulisa spoke to Newsbeat as she helped back a campaign to help bridge the generation gap.

Tough time

She said she wanted to use her fame to help others because: "I had a tough time growing up."

Tulisa's got involved with the people behind whydo.co.uk.

The project is aimed at increasing understanding between adults and young people.

Tulisa thinks everyone just needs to talk to each other.

She said: "Half the time when I was growing up if an adult come up to me and said what are you doing and how are you feeling at the moment, I would have been lost for words and probably stopped misbehaving.

"That's just one of the smaller examples of why I think it's important to break down the communication gaps between young and old."

Tulisa says she has a long term plan.

For now it's about making money: "For me I'm being 100% honest," she said. "I just want to take N-Dubz to the peak and milk the fat cow to get as much out of it as I can."

But then it gets serious. She's passionate about giving back and one day wants to leave N-Dubz to open her own chain of recording studios for young people.

That moment will have to wait though. She admits she can only do it: " When I feel like I've had enough and made enough cash to be set up for Life."
