Stormzy tears into Daily Mail (again) over "anti-black" article
Stormzy has told off The Daily Mail over a petty story insinuating that grime's recent popularity is "fuelling" the use of skunk.
Continuing their absurd vendetta against him, the Mail has published a story which Stormzy has called out as being "anti-black". In it, they quote a so-called expert and report his "findings", and whip out the magnifying glass to scrutinise Stormzy's lyrics. As well as the typically blatant bigotry, it's on par with their infamous mis-step on emo.
For example, the article reads towards the end: "Stormzy isn't the only grime artist to reference cannabis in his 'bars' - the urban term used to describe lyrics in a grime track. The genre is based around some of the realities of urban lifestyle, including gangs, drugs, violence, guns, and negative terms for women."
Bizarrely the paper led with Stormzy's name, singling him out on social media. The article also mentions Wiley and Kano, and it seemingly claims that their music is glamourising or even promoting drug use.
Stormzy was not about to take any of that lying down, and responded in the best way possible:
White rockstars (and pop stars) have been sniffing coke and taking MDMA and singing about it since the beginning of music just admit you’re anti-black and fuck off you tramps https://t.co/RfS9vZO8y3

Imagine raising your child, loving and nurturing them. Sending them off to school and then uni for them to grow up and then get a job working for the fucking daily mail. Embarrassing

The Daily Mail also recently singled out Stormzy when attempting to report about the rape charges against Solo 45, bringing the "Shut Up" star into the headline for no apparent reason.
