Stormzy hit out at May in a scathing rap verse during his memorable performance at the London O2 Arena on Wednesday night. He criticized May for failing to properly support the hundreds of residents left homeless following the inferno at the North Kensington 24-story tower block.

After performing his hit “Blinded By Your Grace” the rapper took a swipe at the PM saying: “Like yo Theresa May where’s the money for Grenfell…What, you thought we just forgot about Grenfell?” He went on: “You criminals, and you got the cheek to call us savages.

“You should do some jail time/ you should pay some damages... we should burn your house down and see if you can manage this.” He finished the performance to rapturous applause from the crowd.

Grime had a glorious night at the Arena, as Stormzy took home the “British Album of the Year” award for his acclaimed debut Gang Signs & Prayer. He also won the ”British Male Solo Artist” award.

Labour leader, Jeremy Corbny, praised Stormzy for his intervention. Following the event he tweeted: “Congratulations @Stormzy1 for winning your first #BRIT award, and what a powerful performance. #Grenfell.”

Stormzy fans, and some Labour MPs, flocked to Twitter to express their support for his political rant. Thought there were others were more critical of the grime star.
