Stormzy was handed the best solo artist prize at the GQ Men of the Year awards by Jeremy Corbyn.
The star was part of the #Grime4Corbyn campaign before the general election this year which saw major grime artists publicly backing the Labour leader.
Stormzy seemed to enjoy himself at the ceremony and said he'd even managed to get a selfie with Ronan Keating.
He tweeted: "At these events I just run up to everyone and beg it man just met ronan keaton are you mad."

While accepting his award, Stormzy also criticised Prime Minister Theresa May.
"I'm so happy to be here, blessed in a room full of talent, we got so much black excellence in this room as well Tinie Tempah my brother, Anthony Joshua, Skepta... so incredible to be here with everyone.
"Big up Jeremy Corbyn. I do want to use this to say Theresa May is a paigon and you know what we're doing right now, yeah, trust me. Yeah, it's awkward innit when I say that."
Pele was given the inspiration award by England manager Gareth Southgate.

"After playing 30 years of football, 25 in Brazil and the last five in the United States, I have to pay the bill."
This year's ceremony took place at London's Tate Modern, where Star Wars actor Mark Hamill was presented with the icon prize by Simon Pegg.
"I say that despite the fact he has a much bigger part in The Force Awakens than I do, but don't worry, in The Last Jedi I promise you, my part will be twice as big," he said on stage.

"I know what you want to ask. Do you have any advice on how we too can be icons?
"It's really rather simple, step one, blow up a Death Star. You will gain the good will and deep gratitude of untold millions and it will last a lifetime.
"Once you've established yourself as an icon of virtue and heroism like Luke, go for the Joker, an icon of villainy and depravity."
