He just never stops being great, does he?

Yes, the grime rapper and performer Stormzy has been made Person of the Year by the University of Oxford’s Afro-Caribbean society.

The society usually honours alumni, to give them a chance to speak to year 12s about the things that can be achieved through university. However, this year they broke the mould a bit, by giving the award to the rapper for being a positive role model.

And positive he has been.

From his performances to public interaction in general, the guy is gold. He talked about the Grenfell Tower incident rather bluntly, which is how it should be. He even starred on the track that was released for it. Plus, we get the sense he doesn’t like Theresa May…

He’s a good guy and is totally deserving of the award.

Good on him.
