Grime artist Jamie Adenuga, known as Jme, took time out from promoting his new album to have a sit down chat with Jeremy Corbyn .

He spoke to the Labour leader about why so few people actually vote.

The performer has almost 700,000 Twitter followers and has made a point of emphasising the importance of registering to vote ahead of next Monday's deadline.

Adenuga, who is the co-founder of the crew and label Boy Better Know, listed four steps his followers should take.

He told his fans: "Listed by process Numbered by importance. 2. Register to vote 4. Know who you are voting for 1. Know why you are voting them 3. Vote".

Adenuga, known by his stage name Jme, told his 696,000 Twitter followers: "I met Jeremy Corbyn today, and explained why bare of us don't vote."

The pair were pictured sitting down together in a cafe and then posing outside in the sunshine.

Previously Adenuga has also told his followers: "Also, understand why someone doesn't agree with you and try not to hate them for it."

Adenuga is just the latest grime artist to support the Labour leader.

Last year rapper Stormzy declared his support for Corbyn after seeing a photograph of the Labour leader campaigning against apartheid.

He told The Guardian: “My man, Jeremy! Young Jeremy, my guy. I dig what he says. I saw some sick picture of him from back in the day when he was campaigning about anti-apartheid and I thought: yeah, I like your energy.

"Have you seen that footage of House of Commons? They’re all neeky dons! The way they all laugh and cheer. Is this fucking Game Of Thrones?

"You lot have got real issues to talk about and deal with.

"That’s why I like Jeremy: I feel like he gets what the ethnic minorities are going through and the homeless and the working class."

Last week a prankster called Mr Corbyn pretending to be Stormzy.

Heydon Prowse got through to the Labour leader on April 24 saying his wanted him to feature in a video.

In the clip, the comedian declares "Jeremy you're my boy man, I swear down bruv" and says he could re-work Stormzy hit Shut Up by directing the message at Tony Blair .

A spokeswoman said: “Jeremy quickly realised this was a wind-up and ended the call," she said.

"Jeremy is grateful for Stormzy’s support and for the way he has spoken out on mental health, racism, poverty and homelessness.

"It’s unfortunate that Stormzy has been impersonated in this way."
