Tinie Tempah blasts musicians-turned-fashion designers

Tinie Tempah has blasted musicians who turn to designing clothes just for the money.

The ‘Pass Out’ star, who launched his own Disturbing London range earlier this year, told The Sun that he has little respect for pop stars who get into fashion for the wrong reasons:

“If it’s something that’s natural to you and you genuinely have a passion for, that’s one thing. But if it’s just for business that’s another.” 

The 23-year-old, who appeared alongside Tulisa at the X-Factor Judges’ House stage last night, went on to suggest that the downturn in album sales may be responsible for such ventures:

“I can’t speak for those guys individually but in this day and age – music has changed.

“I feel like lots of artists aren’t selling lots of records any more.They’re not touring as much and are always looking for avenues to branch off into.”
