Rapper Stormzy has shockingly revealed that he’s been stabbed three times – including once in the head.
The rapper suffered the terrifying attacks whilst growing up in Croydon, south London, but said he thought it was ‘normal’.
It was only when Stormzy – real name Michael Omari – took a further education course aged 17 that he realised there was so much wrong with it.
"In the room were 17 white kids. One day we had our hard hats off. I had a scar on my head and someone goes, ‘What happened?’" he recalled.
"I said, ‘Oh, I got stabbed.’ I will never forget. I was explaining, ‘I got stabbed her, there, there.’
"They had faced of horror – and that’s when it dawned on me. Of course it’s shocking I’ve been stabbed. Of course it shouldn’t be normal."
Stormzy, 25, lost one of his best friends to a brutal stabbing in April 2017.
Bjorn Brown, 23, was knifed repeatedly by two men in Kelling Gardens, Thornton Heath before attempting to cycle away.
He quickly collapsed and was found by a passing motorist who flagged down a passing ambulance. He later died in hospital.
"Woke up to hear a childhood friend of mine ain’t with us anymore R.I.P Bugz," Stormzy tweeted ahead of a candlelit vigil held at spot Bjorn was found.
