In recent news, Stormzy has taken to talk about what it was like for him growing up in a house where there was no father figure.
In his words, he felt the pressure of being the man of the house since there was no one else around to take up the mantle.
Thus, the Shut Up rapper believes he had to grow up faster than the people around him to take up important responsibilities.
According to the 30-year-old, he is still the man of the house. He talked about how he provides and protects his mother and sisters, trying to give them things that he did not have when he was growing up.
The Vossi Bop rapper went on to address the absence of a father figure in the household since his father had chosen not to be in his life anymore.
However, the star recently got back in touch with his father. Afterward, he talked about how his absence had zero impact since he could not miss what he never had.
Stormzy remembered how he was more or less indifferent to the fact that he did not have a father in the house.
But what irked him was that all responsibilities fell on to him, and he had to grow up faster than boys his age back then.
According to the musician, he is grateful he did not fall into toxic stereotypes and chose to be his own man.
Moreover, the rapper recalled dropping out of school to pursue an apprenticeship at an oil refinery.
He went on to add that he does not like social media, as it fails to put up an accurate depiction of what his life has actually been like.
In the words of Stormzy, real name Michael Owuo Jr., people look at him and think he has gotten everything figured out.
He confessed how younger artists tell him they want to be like him since they only see the bling, not the challenges behind it.
But the musician said that he is struggling just like everyone over one thing or the other. He added that everyone has problems in their lives, and he does too.
