.

The musician, real name Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo, said the prime minister had emboldened racists with comments about “piccaninnies” and Muslim women looking like letter boxes. “If that is our figurehead, the top man, the leader we have to follow, and he openly says these things, he encourages hate amongst others,” Stormzy told Italian newspaper“It’s like [U.S. President Donald] Trump,” he went on."Before people had to hide their racism. If you felt something bad about about black people, about Muslims, you had to shut up. Now these people have the confidence to come out in public to say everything.

Johnson was repeatedly questioned during the election campaign about comments he made in various newspaper and magazine articles. He apologized for any offence he had caused but refused to engage on the substance of his words.
