The 28-year-old musician believes regardless of what job he was to have, whether he was in the spotlight or was a cleaner, he would "one million per cent" make sure he dressed well and looked the best he could.

Speaking about his style choices, the dark-haired hunk - who was named the Best Dressed Man at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in 2012 - said: "A million per cent. Even if I was emptying dustbins! Whatever job I did, I'd always try to be the most dapper."

Tinie - whose full name is Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu - is currently living in the home, which previously belonged to the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen who died in 2010.

And the vocalist believes there is a "creative energy" in his apartment, which has lead him to add unusual furnishings, including a zebra model, to the East London accommodation.

The 'Not Letting Go' hitmaker explained: "I brought a zebra to add to it, a few bits and bobs. Like there this creative energy in the house, and I've absorbed some of it. People around there still talk about Lee he didn't live in a bubble."

The star has revealed he always used to look out over Greenwich and told himself his career would flourish and he would own all of the South East London area.

Speaking about his motivation, he said: "I'd look at it, and say to myself 'One day, I'll have all of this.'

"It sounds weird, but I felt this certainty."

However, Tinie would never want to be involved in a scandal to help boost his fame, and would rather take his time building a successful career.

He told Eurostar Metropolitan magazine: "There's a level of scandal that makes you more famous.

"Those are the people who are talked about, who break the internet. Bur form I guess it's a tortoise and hare race."
