Stormzy has urged his fans to vote for Labour and Jeremy Corbyn.

The grime star, 26, described Boris Johnson as a “f****** prick” in an impassioned video to his 2.7 million Instagram followers.

He revealed he had never voted before because of his distrust of politicians.

Brit Awards winner Stormzy, real name Michael Omari, backed Labour in 2017 and has been a vocal critic of the Conservative government.

Rappers Akala, Kano and Professor Green were among 39 artists who signed a letter in support of Mr Corbyn last month.
