At last nights BRIT Awards, we saw Justin Timberlake, Rag’n’Bone Man, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Liam Gallagher, Rita Ora and Kendrick Lamar all performing at the iconic night. But it was Stormzy who took a political stand with his performance, addressing the horrible tragedy of Grenfell.
His freestyle solo took aim at Prime Minister, Theresa May, asking: “Theresa May, where’s the money for Grenfell?”
⭐️ @Stormzy1 made it rain GREATNESS with his performance of ‘Blinded By Your Grace, 2’ and ‘Big For Your Boots’ with a blistering freestyle in the middle! #StormzyBRITs pic.twitter.com/qahDE7QLr5
