Tinie Tempah

So I think based on the ages that we are and all that's been accomplished, it's...

it was inevitable and it makes sense for us to be in that scenario.

So it's not like, wow, like, oh my goodness, we've come from this and now we're here and we're with our children.

It's more of a internal acknowledgement and kind of like gratitude for life and just being so fortunate because there's so many people that grew up around the same places we did that didn't have the same luck.

so I think it's that and then every once in a while yes it will be a passing comment but it's not like the norm I've got two questions which I think you're going to think are great okay let's see one what was it that tipped you over to go fuck it I'm definitely having this time off

Lovely, isn't it?

Okay.

So I got to a point where, although from the outside looking in,

Everything was going super well.

I could do no wrong.

You know, seven number one records, sold out the O2, sold out Wembley Arena, did Glastonbury, did our residency in Ibiza.

First, first, you know, artists like myself to do it on a high, a high level in Ibiza.

But then

Personally, I felt very robotic and drained and exhausted.

I felt like I used to wake up every day and just constantly, even though it was my ultimate choice, but I felt like I was constantly being like,

Like someone was just dictating my day.

Yeah, and then it's not like I wanted to live the life that all my other schoolmates were living or whatever.

It wasn't necessarily that, but I just felt like, you know, you can't just wake up and just do this every day and then you kind of have like a false sense of reality and a false perception because not many people are living how you live.

So your norm is not like... When you're trying to have like a relatable conversation with your schoolmate, it's just...

It's just going into the air because you're living completely different lives.
