Stormzy isn't coming back from this I'm afraid. He branded himself as a socially conscious rapper, created scholarships for Black students and spoke out against the Tories. Ruined it for a deal with Maccies?! Tragic.

My first poetry collection, SWEET BONE GIRL, will be published on March 31 by Broken Sleep Books. You can find the pre-order link on my linktree in my bio. Your support would mean a lot! This project has truly been a labour of love, and both the cover and my new headshot make me happy.
