Uk based Nigerian artist made history when he was named the hottest breakthrough star of 2011 by the prestigious rolling stone magazine, he was dubbed the hottest musical export from the UK, checkout the excerpt.

Good to see someone doing us proud overseas and still maintaining his real identity (unlike short coconut head Taio Cruz)!


Hot Import: Tinie Tempah
Quote
The son of Nigerian immigrants, Tinie (real name: Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu Jr.) credits his hardworking folks for moving their family from a South London tower block to the suburbs when he was 12. “Eminem rapped about 8 Mile, and Jay-Z rhymed about Bed-Stuy,” he says. “So even though I rap about Southampton and Sc*@thorpe, experiences are universal, and we speak the same language.”

-Peter Relic


Other people that made the list include:

Actress Zoe Kravitz who was named hot progeny and rapper Wiz Khalifa who was dubbed the hottest rapper.
According to  the 23 yr old rapper
it took him less than 10 secs to come up with his hit single 'Black and Yellow'

“It wasn’t even 10 seconds. When I heard the da-na-na-na da-na-na-na, ‘black and yellow’ was the first thing that came into my head.”

Ok spread this good news and share this story (that is if you like good things)

the guy is doing great, and there are many others like him. i dont really know if he is proud to associate with his nigerian background but the thing is he is bound to succeed based on he is now a member of illuminati.
