NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Stormzy feels strongly that there is enough room for more than one successful Black artist at a time.
The Vossi Bop rapper is preparing to return to the charts this month with the release of his anticipated fourth album, This Is What I Mean, after taking a couple of years away from the spotlight.
However, he believes his comeback shouldn’t mean there’s no space for other Black artists to enjoy success, with Stormzy keen to dispel the trope that only one Black entertainer can be popular at one time.
‘I’ve always understood I’m the Black act. Maybe the token Black act. I want to kill that where it stands,’ Stormzy stated while speaking to Trevor Nelson in a one-off BBC special.
