Skepta has responded to Donald Trump’s shock US election win by calling on people to stop complaining about who’s in charge.
The grime MC voiced his thoughts about last night’s result in a video posted on Instagram.
“I have to not fucking moan about who is in charge I have to fix it, I have to save it,” he said, striking a pragmatic tone.
He adds: “Think because Trump’s got a blue tick and keys to the White House its official? The fucking badness is there anyway it’s an evil place.”

On Twitter, Skepta reiterated his disillusionment with the political system, writing:
Instead of taking Obama becoming president as an inspiration to be anything you want, you let it make you believe in the government system.

Maybe now we have the correct evil face to the evil agenda, you can all stop feeling so familiar with the government and start progressing.

In a later post on Instagram, the 34-year-old shared some pertinent lines from his hit single ‘Shutdown’: “Me and my Gs ain’t scared of police/We don’t listen to no politician/Everybody on the same mission/We don’t care about your ‘isms and schisms.”
