'Shut Up' grime sensation Stormzy has hit back at an allegedly racist troll on Facebook, who called the rapper a 'fucking jungle monkey'.
The slurs came from a story from one Facebook user who claims to have met Stormzy before a fight nearly broke out when the rapper's guards prevented any further incident.
Stormzy then took a screenshot of the incident, sharing it with fans and urging them to share it when he said "if you think I became a musician to tolerate man chucking out racist remarks you’ve lost your fucking mind," and adding "hopefully young lovely Joey here’s employer, university or mother can see this.”

This year also saw Stormzy lead the charge against the BRIT Awards when he called them out for their lack of ethnicity in not acknowledging grime in the nominations.
In less serious news, this week also saw Nando's honour Stormzy with his own 'Merky' burger.
