nah its just Rap has a silent C at the beginning of the word. Stormzy is definitely not my cup of tea.
so are festivals a bastion of white privilege, don't find acts that appeal or just not something people want to buy tickets for?
Actually I think a MOBO festival would be popular - oh look it is

'It's interesting to look at the audience and not see any black people there': Sir Lenny Henry questions lack of diversity at Glastonbury and says he is 'always surprised' to see so few black and Asian faces in festival crowds
- British comic Sir Lenny Henry has questioned the lack of diversity in audiences at British festivals
- He singled out Glastonbury, saying he is 'interested' by the absence of BAME faces in the crowd
- Sir Lenny shot to fame as the first black performer on the controversial Black And White Minstrel Show
- It comes after Glastonbury organisers called Stormzy's 2019 headline performance 'a little bit late maybe'
And in 2008, Glastonbury organisers were forced to defend their choice of rapper Jay-Z to headline that year's event after claims it had upset traditional rock fans and led to poor ticket sales.
Eavis said the festival had to move with the times and she blamed an 'innate conservatism' in Britain for the negative reaction in some quarters.
She said the row over her choice of a black American rapper rather than a rock band like Radiohead had raised uncomfortable questions over British attitudes to race and class.
