South London rapper Dave has accused Boris Johnson of being a racist on stage at the 2020 Brit awards.
Performing Black, a freestyle track that charts the difficulties of black Britons and celebrates black excellence, he added a newly written final verse that began: “It is racist, whether or not it feels racist, the truth is our prime minister’s a real racist / They say – ‘you should be grateful, we’re the least racist’ / I say the least racist is still racist.”

He moved into a criticism of the British press’s treatment of Meghan Markle, compared with that of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge: “If you don’t want to get it, then you’re never gonna get how the news treats Kate versus how they treated Meghan.”
Responding to the prime minister being called a racist, the home secretary, Priti Patel, said it was “utter nonsense” and Johnson was “absolutely not a racist”. In a round of media interviews on Wednesday morning, she added: “Artists and entertainers say all sorts of things.”
