“That was amazing. Honestly, probably the best show I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot of shows,” he said [via MusicNews.com]. “In terms of the intimacy of it. It was very like… you’re in there but it’s like a small theatre but it’s fucking Adele.

“It’s got all the glitz and glamour like a massive arena show, but it’s in a small place and it’s kind of like, wonderful. Beautiful and spectacular and glamorous… I was like, chefs kiss.”

Stormzy also recalled being “extremely starstruck” when Adele came to watch him perform. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, he said: “I’ve always been a big fan. She came to my London show and I was very, very starstruck. Extremely starstruck.

“I remember I was like, ‘Can I hug you? Oh, can I hug you again?’ I probably asked about three/ four times. She’s lovely.”

However, despite the pair being good friends, Stormzy doesn’t think a collaboration betwen them would ever be on the cards. Asked if he’d like to duet with Adele, he laughed and said: “Come on man, know what I mean. I wish, I wish… you’ve got to… there’s leagues and levels. Are you fucking joking.”

Stormzy’s new album ‘This Is What I Mean’ was released today (November 25). In a four-star review, NME wrote: “With ‘This Is What I Mean’, Stormzy continues to lead the way: another goal ticked off on that checklist, then.”

In a message shared to Twitter earlier today, the rapper – real name Michael Owuo Jr. – urged his fans to listen to the album with “an open heart”. 

“If you hate it after I promise to God I’m perfectly fine with that, I’m just grateful you listened with openness,” he wrote.
