To be able to come back to Nigeria and get so much love for my work is my biggest life blessing. I've always hoped to never get lost in translation with me being British-born.
Don't compare me to Stormzy. Me and Stormzy are both legends in our own right.
Even though I played this role in 'Anti-Social,' you can see by the poster it's not concentrating on some black rudeboy thing. This is a smash-and-grab movie!
Air Max is from when we were running the streets. It was comfortable to wear in London, whether you were going out to a club or kicking a ball in the streets. Those kinds of things stick in my mind from the young, magical, fantasy years of my life.
Thank you to everybody who was there for me when I was going through depressed times.
I was about 18 when I started making music, making beats. My mindset was totally different.

The thing about awards is that a lot of those moments are about the whole world telling you that you deserve it and rah, rah, rah. I'm very appreciative of that, but I love experiencing stuff by myself. Because it feels different. You know the truth, and you can hear what the voice in your head is saying properly.
'Konnichiwa,' to me, is a classic because I don't make music for today where everyone is going to judge what I did in two years; they're gonna tell me today.
I am for feminism. I stand up for women standing up for themselves in the same way I stand up for being black.
You have to understand, that's all I've ever wanted: for London to have a credible musical voice. I will honestly, honestly die happy knowing that I saw it happen.
Every year, I always go abroad with dark music, and I'm going to these places, and I feel like I want a party rep - I want something that everyone is going to go crazy to and enjoy and have a good feeling.
A lot of us who've made grime might be in the chart, but that is because of the country we are in.
Pharrell loves music. When I'm with him, it's like I'm working with someone that I've known all my life, and we're both there to make the sickest track we can.
