Remember when Stormzy got a shout out at one of Adele's concerts? He certainly can't forget it.

"Oh my days, to this day I still don't even believe it," Stormzy tells us after his Radio 1's Big Weekend set.

Last month he was quietly enjoying Adele's show in London when she dedicated Make Me Feel My Love to him.

She knew he was there and told the crowd: "I want to dedicate this song to a guy from Thornton Heath, south London, aka Stormzy.

"I hope you have such a great time."

He was Snapchatting when it happened.

"It was such a moment, even the way I caught it on my Snapchat," he grins.

"A lot of people thought I was waiting for it [on Snapchat]. But I swear to you, I was just Snapchatting the show like on a fan vibe, then she said my name - I was like wow."

He tweeted his shock and awe afterwards writing, "nothing can steal my joy right now this woman is such a g".

He explains: "I don't want to get emotional but that is massive. Man, Adele is an amazing, amazing artist, one of my inspirations so that was massive for me."

But Stormzy is not the only London grime artist feeling the love from the world's biggest popstar.

When Skepta announced the details of his debut album Konnichiwa, Adele posted it on Instagram and Twitter with the words "Tottenham Boy" and a love heart emoji.
