Last night saw the 38th annual Brit Awards ceremony, which was dominated by Stormzy and Dua Lipa who both took home two awards each.
Stormzy surprised many by winning British Male Solo Artist over Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher, and his debut album, Gang Signs and Prayers, won Best British Album. Dua Lipa won British Female Solo Artist, as well as British Breakthrough Act.
During his live performance at the award ceremony, Stormzy took shots at Theresa May and her handling of last year’s Grenfell Tower tragedy. “Yo, Theresa May, where’s that money for Grenfell?” he told the live audience. “What, you thought we just forgot about Grenfell?”
Ed Sheeran was tipped to win big, and while he missed out to Stormzy in two categories, he scooped the Brits Global Success Award.
