Entertainment: The American-Born-Nigerian "Tinie Tempah" Adviced Never To Tie the Knot With a Woman

form a deep connection with women.
He said: "We will never completely understand them, and its

The rapper also touched upon his most surreal moments since his
debut album 'Disc-Overy' topped the charts in 2010, and said
being called up by U2 frontman Bono was a particular highlight.
Tinie said: "Bono called me one time about a dinner he was having

out UK arena tour, on my birthday, touring an already double-
platinum album, to then have your manager stop your set and get
10,000 people in the MEN Arena to sing 'Happy Birthday'..."
