Stormzy, a young black man from the bits, is a talent judge on The X Factor. ITV prime time. You might not appreciate it now, but you will.

British police really murdered a young Black man who was unarmed. I beg everyone deeps what just happened cos I’m baffled that this has happened again after Mark Duggan in 2011. Their intel wasn’t strong enough to know if he was strapped or not? This was a racist attack.

When we get back to real life, we need to redefine this “influencer” thing. People promoting dead garms and products to thousands of people shouldn’t have that title. It should be solely for people making change in the place. (See: Marcus Rashford.)

My predictions for 2022: There will be a Grime 3.0. V9, Clavish and Teeway are gonna impact the scene like Digga and Central did this year. Giggs will drop his best project since ‘Landlord’. UK R&B will give us a new globally-seen artist. I’m always right.
