Stormzy responded: “The kid asked me a question and I replied truthfully nothing wrong with that Piers lol.”
Morgan replied that the music star should use his power “more carefully”, saying: “Come off it Stormzy – saying stuff like that to a bunch of very young schoolkids isn’t cool, and you know it.
“You’re a hugely influential role model now to so many youngsters. Wield that power more carefully.”
Stormzy replied: “No, it isn’t cool, it’s the truth lol. Again, they asked me a question and I answered it truthfully and with jest.
“I gave em my opinion. They’ll grow up and be able to make their own. This ain’t a shocking incident pal sorry lol.”
