Grime Music Latest News: Stormzy Has Compared Wiley To A “Drunk Uncle”
It’s no longer news that Stormzy and Wiley recently got at each other on Twitter after the “Can You Hear Me?” hitmaker rubbished the “Vossi Bop” star’s claim that he prevented Jay-Z from rapping on a song with Ed Sheeran.
Lightening up the beef, Stormzy says he has no plans on “meeting up” with Wiley “anytime soon”, but doesn’t have any strong hostility towards his fellow grime star. He said:
“I don’t think we’ll be meeting up anytime soon. I think he just gets a bit woop and then he hits the old social media. Obviously, when you get wooped you’re not meant to tweet.
“It’s like a drunk uncle, it’s like ‘aw uncle, come on man, […] get back to bed’.”
Wiley is well documented to have hit out at Ed Sheeran whom Stormzy is good friends with, in the past. In fact, during his most recent he called the rapper a “pagan” for teaming up with the ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker on their recent track ‘Own It’.
According to Stormzy, the situation is made “worse” by the fact that Ed is “the kindest, nicest soul ever”.
In an interview with Scott Mills for BBC Radio 1 he added, “This is why it’s even worse, because Ed’s the kindest, nicest soul ever. He’s just trying to travel the world and he’s probably getting notifications. […] But I said ‘don’t worry I’ll do all the trolling’. I don’t mind trolling Wiley, he loves it.”
Wiley started his fresh beef with Stormzy on New Year’s Day when he took to Twitter to hit out at the star.
