No 1 Nigeria Information Portal: ‘I Always Wanted to be a Rich Nigerian Uncle’- Tinie Tempah Gushes as Childhood Dream Becomes Reality

Just like Star Wars star Jon Boyega , British rapper Tinie Tempah never passes up an opportunity to proudly flaunt his Nigerian heritage.

The 28 year-old rapper, whose real name is Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu, took to his Twitter last night to announce that he is now a first-time uncle, by sharing one of his childhood dreams.

“As a kid, I always wanted to be a rich Nigerian uncle when I was older.” he tweeted

As a kid. I always wanted to be a rich Nigerian uncle when I was older.

Tempah’s visit to Nigeria in February last year led to the discovery of bread seller turned model Olajumoke Orisaguna. Tinie has two sisters and a brother.

Congratulations to him!
