A heavyweight grime beef has been ignited between the genre’s originator Wiley and current biggest star Stormzy.
The beef was sparked on New Year’s Day when Wiley went on a Twitter rampage, taking aim at Stormzy for his friendship and work with Ed Sheeran, and subsequently taking shots at AJ Tracey.

The beef started when a Twitter user asked Wiley when he would reply to JayKae’s recent diss track aimed at Wiley and Dot Rotten, and Wiley replied mockingly that he wouldn’t because JayKae’s work with Ed Sheeran, implying the rapper was beneath him.
He then followed up the comment by writing: “Lol he is with Stormzy and Ed”, to which Stormzy replied: “I love you so much but you are so annoying fucking hell”.
