Skepta has come out the woodwork to answer Wiley’s oh-so-public derision. Back in October of last year, Wiley accused Skepta of treason for doing business with his longtime rival Dizzee Rascal. For those who don’t know: Wiley and Dizzee were closer than kin once upon a time, only to see their friendship into chaos over a stabbing some 15 years ago.
So, Wiley went ahead and labeled both his longtime rival and Skepta “frauds” and “paigons” for skulking behind his back – not to mention a second callout to Skepta for venturing out of pocket with non-domestic collaborations with Drake and A$AP Rocky. It would seem, Wiley is something of a Grime purist, perhaps even by his own admission. “I tell people to work with you, you tell people to ‘fuck Wiley. Fuck grime, I’m a pop star. Fuck all them man.’” Wiley tweeted in October. “You and Skepta, I hope you’re happily ever after bruv.”
