Tinie Tempah wants to change his name to Gilbert


Tinie Tempah wants to move to Australia and change his name to Gilbert.

The rapper doesn’t enjoy being hassled in public, and thinks a change of surroundings, along with a new moniker, could help him become somewhat anonymous instead of being so famous in the UK.

He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Australia is my getaway place. One day I think I’ll start my life again over there and call myself Gilbert or something.

"The problem here is I get treated differently now because I am famous. Saying that, I do walk into Tesco sometimes!"

The ‘Pass Out’ hitmaker insisted it’s difficult going out in public, claiming he can’t even head to the cinema without people "acting strange" if they spot him.

He said: "I am not able to move about in London. I don’t want anyone taking pictures of me eating.

"Sometimes you call your mates up and say, ‘Let’s go to the cinema’, but then the minute you go everyone’s acting strange.

"When you get back to your reality you think, ‘F**k – maybe we shouldn’t have done it like this.’ "
