Stormzy appears to rap about Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex on his new album as he pleads for people to leave her alone.
The 29-year-old rapper released his third album This Is What I
Mean on Friday, and one track in particular has caught the attention of listeners.
New song Please appears to reference the criticism actress Meghan has
received since marrying Prince Harry and joining the Royal Family; the Suits star has spoken more openly about the family since leaving with Harry and moving to Los Angeles with their children.
The new song includes the lyrics: ‘Please could you lower your tone, please could you get off my phone, and please leave Meghan alone.
‘I said please leave Meghan alone, it cuts deep that deep when your
house was never your home.’
Stormzy also makes reference to a ‘throne’ and appears to address Meghan’s estrangement with her father, Thomas Markle, comparing it to his relationship with his own father.

‘You want to speak but it’s best that you don’t, under pressure we fold,
best believe we’re protecting your throne,’ he raps.
The award-winning musician goes on: ‘Please lord give me the strength to forgive my dad because he is flawed and so am I, so who I am to not forgive a man who tries.
‘I see his soul, I know it cries.’

Stormzy had previously defended Meghan, 41, as a ‘sweet woman,’
claiming that people ‘hate her’ for no reason.
He told New York radio station Hot 97 in a 2020 interview: ‘I’m not super into the Royal Family but Meghan is a sweet woman, lovely, she does her thing.
‘I haven’t heard her say anything crazy and they just hate her.’

The rapper insisted there’s no ‘credible’ reasons for people to dislike Meghan and thinks the negativity comes from an ‘obsession with the
Royal Family.’
He added: ‘If I told someone write a list as to why you hate Meghan
Markle, the list is rubbish. There’s nothing credible to it but there’s
an obsession with the Royal Family.’
