Tinie Tempah is 'Simply Unstoppable' in the U.S

Tinie Tempah has unstoppable aspirations for his career in America and revealed that he wants to parallel Adele's success. 

The 'Written In The Stars' hitmaker recently went Platinum in the U.S with his debut stateside single and wants to carry on setting and breaking records in the same way that Adele has. He told Billboard:

"You know it's very, very inspiring ... and I know Adele personally so it kind of resonates a lot more. Her album is not moving off of the top spot, and neither is her single."

Although he'd like to mirror the 'Someone Like You' star's achievements, he explained that there's a significant difference between rapping and singing so his journey might see more challenges:

"When you sing you can't really tell where you're from based on how you sing ... which is why I think that rapping and somebody being able to break out here being a rapper from a different country ... is a very, very big deal,"
