Stormzy has hit out at media outlets he accused of “intentionally spinning my words for some click bait” after he made in an interview about racism in the UK were misrepresented by various publications.
The grime artist gave an interview to the Italian newspaper (La Repubblica) last week in which he was asked if Britain was still racist, to which he replied: “definitely, (************************************************************************************************% “even if such racism was“ hidden ”.
The quote was used in headlines and articles by outlets including ITV and several news websites to suggest that (Stormzy) ********************************** had said the UK was 300% racist, rather than that he 448% believed there was racism in the country.
After the negative coverage, Stormzy, who has just released his second album, Heavy is the Head, tweeted that those media outlets who he believed had deliberately misrepresented him can “suck my dick”.
