Stormzy is known as one of the nicest guys in music – and his latest kind gesture proves it.

The grime star has sang at the funeral of a fan’s father after replying to a request on Twitter.

Nas Bockarie’s father died on 8 December at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, the same day of Nas’s graduation.

Days after his father’s death, the secondary school PE teacher tweeted at Stormzy in reply to a video of his song Blinded By Your Grace.


Nas wrote: ‘Bro my Dad passed away on the day of my graduation last week Friday. Our favourite song of yours was blinded by your grace.

Follow me so I can dm ya — #GSAP (@Stormzy1) December 16, 2017

‘Would love it if you could preform this at his funeral next Thursday 21st December. Don’t worry if you can’t, I just thought I’d try my luck [sic].’



But to Nas’s shock, Stormzy replied: ‘Follow me so I can dm ya.’

Nas responded: ‘All done bro! I’m actually speechless, praise god for humanity.’

And sure enough, a week later, Stormzy – real name Michael Omari – sang at Nas’s father’s funeral.

One of Nas’s friends, Deji, tweeted a picture of the 24-year-old rapper singing in front of a picture of Mr Bockarie.

He tweeted: ‘Massive respect for @Stormzy1 for honouring this…God Bless You.’

Fans praised Stormzy for his kind gesture, with one person tweeting: ‘This guy is actually one of the most amazing people alive. What a hero! God bless you Stormzy and love to you and yours.’

Another wrote: ‘Massive props to @Stormzy1 God will reward accordingly’, while others called the gesture ‘beautiful’.

Stormzy, we applaud you.
