Stormzy shuts down Piers Morgan after telling children Boris Johnson is a "very bad man"
Stormzy has shut down Piers Morgan after he called out the rapper for telling school children that Boris Johnson is a "very bad man".
Earlier this week, Stormzy returned to his old primary school, where a class of Year Three's asked the rapper some very important questions. Stormzy had to explain definitions of words such as "wastemen", "wicked skengman", and "peng ting".
After entering the classroom, Stormzy is asked about why Boris Johnson is a bad man, to which he replies, "Boris is a very, very bad man. You know like the Big Bad Wolf? He's gonna come down and blow your houses down, that's why we don't like Boris."
Unsurprisingly, Piers Morgan piped up on Twitter last night (18 December) after seeing the video, and called Stormzy out for his comments. He wrote, "He shouldn't have done this, and shouldn't have been allowed to do this."
Stormzy replied, writing, "The kid asked me a question and I replied truthfully nothing wrong with that Piers lol."

Morgan then replied again, writing, "Come off it Stormzy – saying stuff like that to a bunch of very young schoolkids isn’t cool, and you know it. You’re a hugely influential role model now to so many youngsters. Wield that power more carefully."
The "Shut Up" rapper soon responded, shutting down the Good Morning Britain host, "No it isn’t cool, it’s the truth lol. Again, they asked me a question and I answered it truthfully and with jest. I gave em my opinion, they’ll grow up and be able to make their own, this ain’t a shocking incident pal sorry lol."
