"Yo Matilda, what's going on, it's Stormzy here," he said.

"I'm hearing that you're a massive fan and that every time my songs come on, you know all the words and you rap along.

So I just wanted to send you my love and my blessings."

"I'm also hearing that you're a little bit of a legend as well, so, big up yourself."

Stormzy is developing a bit of a habit when it comes to good deeds for his fans.

In June 2017 he was one of many celebrities to tweet a young boy who was being bullied.

"Don't watch the bullies they always end up being the biggest wastemen later in life," he wrote on Twitter.

In May he donated £9,000 to an Oxford student's crowdfunding campaign to continue her studies at America's prestigious Harvard University.

He was vocal in encouraging people to vote in the general election.

And he has also spoken openly about mental health issues.
