And Finally

Tinie Tempah on money

By | Published on Tuesday 25 May 2010

Tinie Tempah has provided the Daily Star with a rather tedious quote about money.

And – not just because we really struggled to find a decent ‘And Finally’ story today or anything like that (damn Justin Bieber for not walking into anything yesterday) – here it is: “Sometimes money can overpower your decisions if you think about it too much, some people only get up for the money and I don’t want to do that”.

The tedium continues: “I didn’t have much when I was younger but I was brought up by my parents who work really hard for everything. They understand money on every level and I’m so fortunate I have parents I can confide in and help me manage my money. I’ve got an agreement with my parents now where every year I have to take them on a holiday. They brought up four respectful, well-educated kids so it’s time for them to let their hair down”.

If you’d like Mr Tempah to have even more money for his parents to understand on every level, you might want to buy his single ‘Frisky’ when it is released on 7 Jun. Though presumably he hasn’t recouped on his record deal yet, so actually the money would go to EMI. But let’s face it, they need it a lot more than he does. If only EMI had parents who “understood money”, rather than parents that say things like “I know, let’s take out a three billion dollar bank loan we’ll never be able to pay back”.
