supports HTML5 videoStevo The MadMan had a case of mistaken identity when a fan thought he was Skepta. The content creator – real name Kevin Stephens – was enjoying himself at the UFC game at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday when he came across a fellow spectator who matched his energy. In a heartwarming video shared on his social media, Stevo is seen rapping along to Skepta and JME’s hit That’s Not Me which was ironically playing in the arena. He’s joined by an overzealous young man who’s insistent on telling the former footballer that he is indeed Skepta. ‘This kid and his dad thought I was skepta, so I just rolled with it,’ he captioned the post. As Stevo repeatedly tells the fan that he’s definitely not the grime MC, the man hilariously keeps telling him ‘you are Skepta!’ After much back and forth, Stevo gave in and declared: ‘Alright, I’m Skepta.’ He added in the caption: ‘In the end I just went with it.’ Stevo’s famous friends were highly amused by the situation, with Skepta’s sister Julie Adenuga commenting: ‘F*****g hell hahahaha.’ Comedian Munya Chawawa joked: ‘Bro…I had that with Aston [Merrygold] last night mannn.’ Presenter Melvin Odoom laughed: ‘You are too much bro!!!!!’ Feeling a pang of guilt at misleading the fan, Stevo later made a plea to find him, asking his followers: ‘TAG THE BOY IF YOU KNOW HIM lol I didn’t wanna spoil his night.

So, are things really “heating up” between these two? Adele’s response to those Skepta dating rumors has set the record straight once and for all. The 32-year-old Grammy award-winning singer took to Instagram on October 28 to subtly address a report made hours earlier by People, which claimed to confirm her relationship with the British rapper. “Things have been heating up,” a source told the outlet. “They run in the same circles in London and she’s having fun.” But as it turns out, Adele is having fun solo.

Skepta is a man of few words these days but his random photo of Priti Patel could have come with at least a little explanation.
