Stormzy puts a man in his place for tweeting abusive racist slur

Stormzy has hit out at a man over an alleged racial slur directed towards him via social media.

The grime star posted a screenshot on Twitter of a fan's post regarding an apparent alteration between the pair.

The man had written:

"Well not many people can say they met Stormzy face to face... he tried kicking off with me... shame you didn't get past your guards so I could snap your jaw you fucking jungle monkey".

Stormzy tweeted the screenshot and added:

"hopefully young lovely Joey here’s employer, university or mother can see this.

"Love how Twitter comes together to air out racist scum... If you think I became a musician to tolerate man chucking out racist remarks you've lost your fucking mind."

Meanwhile, Nando's have honoured UK rapper and grime star Stormzy with his own burger, the #Merky.

It contains grilled Halloumi cheese in a toasted Portuguese roll and is named after one of Stormzy's favourite phrases. #Merky is also the name of Stormzy's Beats 1 radio show.
