Speaking to ES magazine, Skepta said: “Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going. She’s one of the people I know that, from her example alone, you can move in a certain way where you’re not inviting fame.”

He added: “She’s the biggest artist in the world, bro, and you do not see her in the papers [everyday].”
