Tinie Tempah's new single has been fast-tracked for an early US release, reports say.

The rapper, who is holding the number one spot on the UK charts for a second week with 'Pass Out', is reportedly gaining a US following.

A label insider told The Sun: "The song is already being played over there and it is rapidly developing a big fan base.

"P Diddy is a fan and Tinie's management have been inundated with requests from top artists who want to be involved when he re-records the song for the American market."

Tempah, who's real name is Patrick Okogwu, recently claimed that his new album sounds "incredible".
