Oprah Winfrey likes Jay-Z because he smells nice!

Oprah Winfrey likes rapper Jay-Z because she thinks he smells great.

The US talk show host had recently interviewed the 99 Problems rapper.

"Jay-Z is my new best friend. He was so charming and delightful - and he smelled so good," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

She added: "It's the kind of thing where you hug a guy and the scent is sort of buried in them. When we went to the second location I could still smell him on me. It was like, 'Oh my, this is wonderful!'

Oprah recently parted ways with long time partner Stedman Graham and is reportedly looking for someone to date.
