Stormzy won British Album of the Year and Best British Male Solo Artist at the 2018 Brit Awards, while Dua Lipa took home Best British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough, making them the only artists to win two statues this year.
This year was an interesting edition of the awards show, with Ed Sheeran up for four statues, Drake and Kendrick Lamar named in the same category as Beck, and Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne all competing against each other for the same award. Styles ended up beating his former One Direction band mates for Video of the Year.

Stormzy was unsurprisingly featured at the show, singing some of his biggest hits and ending with water cascading down on him as he sang. He used the opportunity to slam British Prime Minister Theresa May:
“Yo Theresa May, where’s the money for Grenfell?” he rapped, referencing the tragic fire at the public housing building Grenfell Tower in June that took 71 lives. “What, you thought we just forgot about Grenfell? You criminals, and you’ve got the cheek to call us savages, you should do some jail time, you should pay some damages, you should burn your house down and see if you can manage this,” Stormzy continued.
