Dave was so annoying at the BRITs 2020. Awful track.

Your not wrong there and all his attention seeking political ..Bojo is no racist if Dave has half the sense to see the clearer picture but no he just stupidly incites violence against the Tories with his brainless followers..His own brother is a murdering waste of space doing porridge.. Him and Stormzy make a right pair and are still sore their beloved comrade Corbyn failed( thank goodness)to win the election.I'm no fan of today's nursery Grime..Give me Eminem and all the old school rap anyday.
