An elderly man has been spotted on the streets of London busking Stormzy's 'Shut Up'. Watch it below.

The man appeared on Carnaby Street armed with a microphone and speaker, and began rapping the grime MC's hit song in a broad Northern accent. It's not the most impressive thing we've ever seen, but it's kind of hilarious.

Unfortunately, it soon transpired that the performance was a publicity stunt by website Unilad to promote the new Robert DeNiro film Dirty Grandpa. We've seen the trailer for that film, and it looks like a sexist mess, so we'd advise you not to see it.

Stormzy's original version of the song leapt 99 places up the UK singles chart at the end of last year, thanks to a campaign for him to beat X Factor winner Louisa Johnson.
