Shola you are wrong on this one. There is nothing racist about this statement. It is clear from his behaviour that his upbringing has failed him. This isn’t trivial.

The difference between JD and Diddy is Diddy didn’t actually make any BIGGIE beats or write the songs. Diddy was a top A&R. JD wrote the songs and made the beats. Top producer.
The response for

I've just remembered.... JME and Skepta were both born in Homerton hospital EAST London. Then they lived in Hackney for a bit before moving to Tottenham because Skepta accidentally burnt their EAST house down. On technicalities JME and Skepta are East

Im an Arsenal fan and I find it funny that Gooners were so angry with our lack of silverware for all those years but think a player should be comfortable with no trophies? Insult Harry Kane for lack of trophies but think Fabregas shouldn’t return to his boyhood club to win?😂
That's because the guy with the high top is NOT doing or attempting to do a Jamaican accent. He's a Londoner with carribean heritage. Island born, London raised. Travels between both. It's really important that people take that in before getting trigger happy with the scrutiny.
Andddd can we talk about the fact that the Jamaicans in
#TopBoy
were real Jamaicans with REAL JAMAICAN ACCENTS (except the guy with the high top his accent was questionable) and was reallllyyy shot in yard 😍😍😍 fucking amazing. Well done Top Boy ❤️
Just leaving the toilet of the SOHO theatre and one brudda at the urinal clocks me. He attempts to shake my hand but he hasnt left the urinal yet... hasnt yet approached the taps. I refuse the handshake and he goes "ahh come on bro dont be like that, i loved top boy"... 🙄
Just ordered some clothing merch from the

On the Victoria Line, the distance between Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters feels long. Why? Manor House station had a tunnel built into it that would have placed it between Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters. The plan was abandoned due to unsuitable platform space.
4 days ago my agent called me up to share with me some seriously incredible news. Overjoyed doesn't even cover it. The ladder is well and truly being climbed. 🙏🏿

This why Pogba likes being injured. He’s a World Cup winner with multiple league titles/ other cups in Italy as well as a couple trophies with United. He has two sons, a partner and he’s rolling in money but barely has to play. He’s enjoying life. He needs nothing more.

😂😂 East and North East London. So like Leyton, Hackney, Stratford Walthamstow, Higham Hill, Leytonstone. Also heavily featured for me were the N26, N205, 25, 97, 158, 58.

@TheAthleticFC
Ohhh God he shouldn’t go to City. They aren’t a football team, they’re a Sports performance center. Everything about Guardiola is antithetical to the beautiful game. That’s why he can’t win the champions league again. Jude needs to play football not compute it.
I rate and respect Jamaica differently but they are absolutely not as influential as African Americans. African Americans are comfortably the MOST POTENT cultural and creative force on the planet. Facts not speculation.
@Cols_Ldn
I’m not even from Enfield but the LDN Borough of Enfield has 8 London postcodes; N9, N11, N13,N14,N18 N21, N22, and E4. The small remainder is EN. LDN Borough of Croydon has only 1 London postcode: SW16. The rest is All CR. That settles it. 👍🏿
@AfcGabeast
Don’t you just love that though? The fact that Palace has that identity. That brand. Such a distinct vibe. If I was From South London Crystal Palace would be my second team (because I could never not support Arsenal). Palace are such a LONDON team though. Big up.
An honour beyond compare to be able to work along side the trail blazing

If you can’t hear the influence of grime in UK drill then that is a failing of your ears to catch it. Some of the Flows, bass lines, and drum patterns show clear influence. Music is an echo chamber.
In 2021... Whenever you are disrespected: stop the conversation and respectfully set the person straight. Put them back on the straight and narrow. Make a conscious effort to do this.
Strong Advice: ignore, unfollow, freeze out, block all COONS and internalised anti blackness merchants. Do not bother with debate, engagement or re-education. They have chosen their side and once they do they are pawns. They will strawman us to death. Leave them in purgatory.
@ESPNFC
At 29 he’s done enough. If he retires today many ballers will never achieve half of what he has. He now gets to enjoy maximum quality of life. Football is probably the least of his priorities.
Yo... be your own biggest fan! Go hard for yourself, ride out for yourself and dont excuse yourself or be sheepish about anything you've achieved. Thats your medal of honour. Wear it with hella pride. ACT confident in yourself.... the real thing will follow
The arts must put human well being above all else. As it stands this is not the case. Clout, money, power and fame rule. People are treated as more important due to success and are able to abuse those who are also seeking industry success on the basis that they are gatekeepers.
All you lot replying to Kat!3 Hoppkinz tweet about Markos Rashferd... when will you realise how she uses Twitter. When will the penny finally drop? She wants the replies, she wants the insulting retweets. It keeps her relevant. Stop keeping her in the limelight. Ignore her!
I'm very proud to be a part of this crucial initiative that is looking to bring positive change to the industry for Freelance Artists.

Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna were all born in the same year (1958) in the same region of America (The Midwest), in the same season ( Summer. June-August).
We had a corner shop on our road run by an older white cockney man called Mick. All us kids (White, Black, Turkish, Asian, greek) would play football until late. Our parents didnt call us in because Mick used to watch over us. It was a real community.

I love this clip. Not even his rap/poem I love but him just rawly and artistically expressing himself to an artist he respects. The way she just humbly receives it. No ego. Sick.
Our Brothers and sisters in Grenfell suffered the most horrific injustice 3 years ago. Most of the victims have still not been compensated or adequately re-homed. R.I.P to those who lost their lives and lets get justice for those that are still here. They matter. 🙏🏿💚

I’ve got another take on things: let’s have More stories portraying ‘black complexity’ because we are not so simple that you can split our tales into the two binary categories of ‘Joy’ and ‘Trauma’. I’m personally tired of this basic categorisation for black work.
Tina Turner star
@aisha_jawando
and producer
@ameena_hamid
have called for more stories in theatre depicting black joy rather than solely focusing on trauma
In this life walk your own path. You don’t need to be ‘Gang Gang’ with people. Spare yourself the fake love. You don’t need their ratings. You need to do you and do it proudly. Fearlessly. The right worlds will form around you.
