Tinie Tempah: 'Lewis Hamilton's secret music recordings are really good'

He's full of praise

Published 18th Jun 2015

Tinie Tempah has revealed he has heard Lewis Hamilton’s secret music recordings and insists they’re the real deal.

Earlier this year, reports emerged claiming that Lewis Hamilton has been laying down some tracks as a side project to his glittering Formula One career.

Now, in a fresh interview with UTV’s Total Access, his good mate Tinie Tempah says he’s heard the material and he’s so impressed he thinks Lewis should launch a music career.

"I heard one of his songs when I was in LA recording two weeks ago. He played me one of his songs and it's actually really good, I'm not going to lie to you,” Tinie enthused.

"It doesn't even sound like Lewis Hamilton. It's really, really good. It's interesting. I'm curious to see how people will react to it."

The ‘Pass Out’ singer continued: "At first I was a little bit apprehensive. But after I heard the record, I was like, yeah, why do we put people into boxes?

"Like, if you're an actor, don't you dare do a song, or if you're Arnold Schwarzenegger don't run for Governor of California."

Formula One Champion Lewis was in an on-off relationship with Nicole Scherzinger from November 2007 to this February.

It’s not yet known whether he’s planning to release his music or he’s just recording it for fun!
