Stormzy slams William Shakespeare and calls him a 'bad influence' on kids

With a few more posts like this, maybe Kim will claw her way back to the top.'SI SICK AT SIR DAVID'After getting an OBE in 2017, David now has his sights set even higher.

As for drama, David added: “I think I’m a bit too posh for EastEnders, but I wouldn’t turn my nose up at a soap offer. I like Corrie. It’s a bit camper. I’d fit in best there.”STRICTLY champion Kelvin Fletcher has revealed he was thrilled to get back to ballroom dancing on the show’s tour – to escape his chores at home.

“It was, ‘Change nappies, the house is a bit untidy, you need to do this, you need to do that . . . never mind you’re a Strictly champion, you’re at home now.“I might pitch a ‘returning contestant’ show to the BBC.” Johannes struck up a close friendship last year with his dance partner, former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley, which is lucky because things got a little awkward during rehearsals.

Don't know about Shakespeare But I can see one moron who is not good

Oh please said the elephant in the room

Spot on

Pot and kettle come to mind 🙄

What a complete arse- he can hardly string a sentence together- hootananny was complete garbage on New Year’s Eve-and Stormzy was partly the reason joolsholland

Stormzy is a dick. Thank you.

Who the hell is this guy and why shall i listen to what he says? 🤨🧐

Don't tell me ..... Shakespeare was racist.

Yeah but stormzy raps about drugs, guns, violence, divisive politics. You can’t take a upper-class elite like Stormzy seriously. He’s the bad influence on kids, not one of the founders of modern English language.

Why do you give him a platform. This mans lyrics alone are utterly shameful

What would he know about being a role model. Takes the money off a racist population then insults us with his privilege

Ohhhhh was William Shakespeare a White privileged male Stormzy? 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I think the Sun is playing with us ya know...they know full well this will rub people of colour, namely white, up...thus causing further friction. We see you the Sun, we see you!

I think our TVs,cinema,theatre's and schooling would be a dam sight worse off if shakespear wasn't around.

Stop giving him airtime for crap like this. And he's not a bad influence on kids? What a joke.

He should actually try reading some before mouthing off.

What a first class twat Steamy 🤪😂😂😂

But, to be fair, I think Stormzy might have special needs or some other learning difficulty. Perhaps it's his lack of understanding of literature.

If Stormzy says it then it must be true.🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

Can we have stormzy v ZubyMusic? I’d pay to see that.

Who are you,

Stormzy never fails to live down to expectations ... 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The Sun and Stormzy know Shakespeare

Comparing your work favourably with that of Shakespeare never ends well. Just ask George Bernard Shaw.

coming from the geezer who says your never to big for the boot. Shakespeare made strories, stormz writes violent songs. He is starting to remind me why i dont like him.

Who?

Stormzy is a pound store Lady Sovereign...

William Shakespeare never robbed a Pizza Delivery Man.

He’s an attention seeking dickwad isn’t he?

Stormzy is a hysterical anti-British lout.

Bit like people who Rob delivery drivers!

Stormzy is a cuck

Attention seeking nonentity .

Stormzy trying to look rebellious is just cringe. Move on son your making a t*at of yourself 😂

I don't think this quote will age well!

I can fully understand why he would think Bills work is a bad influence. There are very few pictures and lots of long words that are meaningless, also there is not much talk of drugs, sex and slapping.

What a joke he is

That's racist against a white author

From the £1 shop 50 Cent

People like him are what's wrong with society. Stop all media attention. The BBC need to stop promoting people like him just because of their colour.

Do we really care what this half wit thinks? Just stop reporting this sh*t. Report proper news like a child abuser throwing cheese slices at a baby! You know, the important stuff!

His name will be assigned to the dustbin of history whilst Shakespeare will still be there.

stormzy now the Brothers Grimm that is dark

Stormzy on dem good juices again!

A reptile

He's one to talk. One of his most popular songs has lyrics about Cumming in a woman's face...

What's he selling?

'Stormzy' . Who's she ? Sounds like princess or boyzy woyzy .

🤣😂

Romeo and Juliet committed suicide, bringing an end to the feud. Macbeth is a cautionary tale about betrayal and hubris. This guy can just vossybop off

Pure projection.

Why promote this person? He is not so bright, and is developing bigotry.

He’s a complete nob

Does he actually know who's Shakespeare?

Whose Stormzy?

Says the guy who barely knows how to speak...

This guys an absolute joke and a gutter rat.

Who the Fuxk is Stormzy to come in here and ruin my morning, please send in the next customer

Who the fuxk is stormy to come in here and ruin my morning, please send in the next customer

The only bad influence on kids is this spoon called stormzy. The body evacuations of William Shakespeare are more relevant than the cretin that is 'stormzy'🤣😂🤮

Oh, just stop it. “Dwarf criticises giant.”

XP

Poor guy.

Perhaps if he hadn’t left school at 10, he would have learned to read, love and understand the greatest English author before Charles Dickens. But stormzy shouldn’t force his ignorance on others - even if he does envy their brilliance.

And your Shite is a good influence I suppose.. 😂😂😂

But Stormzys’ song lyrics are good? Assuming Islam doesn’t take over Shakespeare will be read a thousand years from now while he will have long been relegated to the dustbin, not even a footnote in history.

Not much of a story really, he may be right about the content of the stories, but he doesn’t prove his point or make a good counter argument. Anyway, I doubt Stormzy will be remembered very well in a couple of decades, let alone in 400 years, so meh.

Neither he nor you are taken seriously by anyone who matters.

I dub thee Twatzy the Inept.

Whozy

Now I've seen everything.

Yes we'll I'm sure 'Stormzy' is intelligent enough to know what he's talking about...

On a serious note.... who is Stormzy?

Grow up

Racist stormzy is the bad influence

Lost the plot

stormzy you’re getting way to big for your boots!

Is this guy still around? So let me get this straight... he’s a thief, a druggie, and a racist... what have I missed?

Does he not have any mirrors in his home!?!

Pot kettle

Load of twaddle

He doesn’t come over as being very literate, and as for repeatedly texting his ex till she “agrees” to meet him - that sounds a bit creepy to me!

What a nob head !

tinkernurse Ffs what an absolote cnut..... please leave if you hate Britain that much

He is not Shakespeare!!!!! Shall kids learn his foul languages in his songs then?

God, he comes out with any crap to try to sell a few more records/streams/download he really is as thick as pigshit

Let see if he's still listened to in 400yrs. Doubt it.

Because rapping about giving women facials is so respectable

I don't think William gives a shit to be fair.

Racist

Othello was racist 😂😂😂

Well us 30+ people say..............

Fuck Stormzy. Long live Shakespeare

I think now stormzy should be arrested for admitting to a past crime then locked up .That should then shut the 💩 hes coming out with

I don't think he will turn in his grave, loser.

His head is in a mess poor chap .

Deep pan pizza 🍕

Oh please quit it already

Said it before and I'll say it again, no one more racist than Stormzy.

What is a Stormzy? I bet he couldn't spell Shakespeare.

tinkernurse 😳

He’s becoming part of the very problem that we are seeing all over the country with gang culture and raps about how bad it is, yet blames every one bar himself... no wonder kids of today have respect for authority when he’s always blaming authorities for the problem

Boring

Is this the dude who just admitted to robbing a pizza guy?

Back off Stormzy that doesn’t got to do with William.

Has he a new Album coming out? 😜😜😜

Idiots among us

Why did he go school wiv him?

And I am sure he has read the entire works of Shakespeare to make that comment....

he reckons that the bard is just as bad an influence as he is !

This time next year it'll 'oh I remember Stormzy'

Havering twat.

The comments are so negative on this post! 😲 He’s like Meghan ... having an opinion WhileBlack 😩

I wonder if 1) Stormzy has even read Shakespeare and 2) if he did did he even understand what he was reading because listening to some of his lyrics he doesn’t come across as very articulate with his choice of words

Who is Stormzy Slams who create that shit ?

Cunt.

Long live the great works of negro culture

If expect nothing less 😂

Stomzy hahahahhahha

Stormzy, What a Pitiful name haha

What a knob

Hey stormzy, it’s not all murder & mayhem in Shakespeare’s plays. 🎭 We’d love to show you how 9m primary school children have fun and meaningful experiences with the Bard through our ShakespeareWeek programme.

Stormi who?

Yeah, an African rapping about 'muh dick' is gonna tell people Shakespeare is a bad influence. 'But Titus/MacBeth are bloody' Shakespeare's plays a a distillation of our Western culture, educating and entertaining us on Antiquity, Christianity, and English history.

I’m glad I read Shakespeare at school or I might have robbed pizza deliverers

This joker needs to do one!

Oh the irony

Public school systems in America are way ahead of him.

Lol

No!..Right off Stormzy now.

Clown

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Stromzy is a jerk

If Shakespeare was black stormzy would be so far up his arse we wouldn't know where Shakespeare begins and stormzy ends

What an absolute plonker

But lyrics describing girls as 'bitches' is a okay 👌 Wanna preach¿ Practice first Mr. Stormz with a zee.

Wanker

At least hip hop has an intelligent, informed & educated artist like akalamusic with a interesting perspective regarding the relationship of hip hop and Shakespeare

'Disappear, scumbag!'

Who listens to this clown anyway

I believe Stommzy's great great granny was behind Shakespeare's books so there's the influence.

Stormzy old boy! You ain’t English! So don’t knock our great men! Go back to YOUR roots and find your own heroes! I bet it will take a while to find one! Maaaaaaaaan!

I love to know what drug these people are on. U will be forgotten in a few years Shakespeare as been around for mmmm🤔 and will still be around for so many to come you utter 🔔🔚

He’s spitting straight facts

Ok 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't even start me off on this one

Who are these people? Stop doing articles on people with dumb names that no one knows. With very ugly faces. Gosh....

Oh and he’s not!

Thou art taking the Pisseth

Shakespeare never ‘popped’ on anyones face, never robbed pizza delivery drivers. And wasn’t a moron. stormzy

😂 Classic Stormzy. Always talking Shite 💩.

You couldn’t make this up

Well we can’t all be one of the greatest poets and lyricist of our time like Stormzy, maybe he could talk about the great poets and lyricists and dramatists from Ghana.

God Bless America

I wonder if anyone in these comments slating him, using derogatory terms and bringing up his past has actually read the article and listened to the interview or just judging off of the misleading headline? 🧐😂

Just look at him. He obviously dislikes Othello.The guy has an inferiority complex and a chip on his shoulder.

There is only one bad influence and I think we all know it’s this racist ( I think you can add in any form of expletive). Be good to test him on Shakespeare works, in fact while it comes to that maybe test him also on reading music and being able to play any instrument

This guy thinks he’s the bees knees now, cheeked man

He’s not helping himself 🤦🏻‍♂️

Some people will say anything to get publicity.

Stormzy is a legend, In his own mind.

Prick

This idiot is a bad influence🤮

Cultural appropriation.

Stormzys a twat !!!

This coming from a self proclaimed former street thug and mugger.. Laughable how the media have hyped this trash up to represent our youth..

yeah cos rapping about knives drugs and gangs is a real good influence

He is trying to be the UK’s version of Kanye West

I'm sure in between robbing delivery riders he read all the works of Shakespeare.

Thou art a dimit

I can see ppl holding stormzy concerts in parks 400 years from now and basing films on his work ,what a fkn clown this guy is ,I mean Jeremy Corbyn is a fan so that says it all .

We should be so lucky if our children get to be taught Shakespeare. Last l heard children were being taught that Boris Johnson is a bad man by a rapper.

Popularity decling? Why not criticise one of history’s greatest figures to get another few minutes of fame? Celebrities are so desperate to stay relevant they’ll say or do anything.

Any type of reading for stormzy might be traumatic. “Lord what fools these mortals be!”

Says the bloke that admitted to robbing a moped from a pizza delivery guy. The good thing is that when he speaks he shows us what a thug, racist, homophobe he is.

Has he been bribed?

😴😴😴😴

Absolutely spot on, and before anyone takes issue with me, I've been to see Titus Andronicus and Macbeth at the theatre in the last couple of years, both stabfests.

We certainly won’t remember who stormzy was and no one will be performing his works.

Ye because you are 1 amazing influence aren’t ya! Bell end 🤦🏻‍♂️

Stormzy is turning into a national clown

No he doesn't. I haven't even read the article and I know this is a lie.

Stormzy really is a pillock.

Erm he’s becoming a Parody of a person. Maybe save social commentary for his tunes?

This & admitting to robbing a pizza boy in one weekend! Too much Bruv 😂 planklist Iromg

Allways saw Stormzy as the usual brain dead rapper. Now he's proved it

Have you looked in the mirror? (was going to say pot, kettle, black but...)

That’s settled then!

Cock

Who read Shakespeare to him?

Windys off again

Dickheadzy would be a more appropriate name for what ever it is he thinks he does!

How can Shakespeare be a bad influence on children. Most of them haven't a clue what his writing is actually saying; and I doubt Yawnzy does; He could use some education. Clearly he didn't get any. Its fairly obious, probably the class 'Fool' sitting at the back being a arse...

The irony is astonishing

He’s not right in the head this celebrity bell end

Looking at your bald head you're already a bad influence on kids

Ignorant

Much Ado About Nothing.

Idiot

The 2020 early April Fool’s award goes to...

The man truly is delusional.

Who is this prick?

Shakespeare didn't give it the big one or make enough gun salutes

Stormzy has no other way of making money....we've reached a level in society where stupid people think they can tell us how to live and think (i.e H&M). First come with some credentials & inventions before you tell the public what to think. Rapping is not genius skills.

Says the man who robbed a pizza delivery driver and uses racist, homophobic, mysoganistic lyrics that celebrate gang culture. I think Stormzy is the one that's the bad influence

Idiot. Unless of course The Sun made the story up again.

Stomzy is a 1 hit wonder we won’t even remember who or what he did.... Who was we talking about again

What a dude, Greatmusician at birmingham with George and Ben hmvtweets hmvVault 🤴🏿Fakenews HarryandMeghan

Serious who cares what you think.

Get me in the limelight kind a guy!

Well he's such an intellect with a mature wholesome outlook and great vocabulary, he must be a real authority on English Lierature. Can stormzy actually read?

Jealous of English writers. 🤬

Stormzy is a C-list celebrity. Why are the media trying to make him into something else?

Just about sums up modern society and education.

What is Ghana famous for?

He ignorant and speaks from his arse stormzy Will say literally anything for publicity. Pathetic really.

Bulldog665 And he's a shining light, more like a whining shite

Haaaaa, says a guy who robbed a pizza delivery guy.

Kids are a bad influence on Stormzy.

Too much weed n booze. 🤣

This Stormzy is a bit of a cock isn't he, he lauds at as if he's the greatest musician and influential figure in the world today. He's neither.

Jesus he’s hysterical 😭

Do be quiet.

😂🤣😂🤣

Did Shakespeare rob a pizza delivery man?

Right wingers, knuckledraggers, racists.. Out to get this fella’

😂 😂 😂 Stormzy

Stormzy is a twatter

Idiot

Fucktard

Stormzy 15mins of fame .............Next!

How dare this foul-mouthed rapper crapper call one of our greatest writers a bad influence? At least he wrote what could be understood & orated by others, and was never foul mouthed like this person! He is not fit to lick Shakespeare's boots!

Yawn

I must admit that having being forced to read Shakespeare at school it put me off reading for life, except for technical manuals. I don't think it's just me though there are many types of learning styles. Perhaps Stormzy should have said that instead of dissing one of uk greats

Says the pizza delivery man robber.

Now his boy corbyn is out of the picture mr stormzy is desperate to stay relevant

Says the Road-Man who's robbed a pizza delivery guy, who goes to Primary schools pushing his political opinions on little kids.. ok then 😳

Unlike him

Stormzy will say anything to stay relevant and to prove to his impressionable fans that he’s ‘sticking it to the man’. He’s just another capitalist selling his product. Pity his fans are too gullible to recognise that they are being taken for fools.

I love talking sh*t Stormzy

Says the man who robbed a pizza delivery driver🤷‍♂️

He has to be joking!! Who do this Pratt think he is

Oh do wind your neck in ffs!

stormzy he’s irrelevant. Just another unhappy nobody.

Could this guy be a bigger prat?

Nice to know he read about him to come to an historic opinion.

I didn't realise Stormzy had such a great sense of humour, Funniest thing i'll hear today that's for sure,probably all week too.

Terence & Phillip are with stormzy on this one.

With such delights as ‘Right State your name, cuz Stormzy, init What we doing today? Repping, init Yeah, fucking repping, init Yeah fire in the park, let's go!’ You can see where his authority comes from.

A stormzy in a tea cup👍

Is that because he struggles to read and understand it so assumes it’s bad for kids?

what a mug

He's right.
