Skepta 'romance' with Adele is over - Grime artist drops huge hint pair have split

Grime artist Skepta has reportedly confirmed his whirlwind relationship with singer Adele is over.

Last September, rumours flew that Skepta, 37, was dating Adele, 31, following her split from husband Simon Konecki earlier in the year.

But now, the chart-topping rapper, whose real name is Joseph Adenuga, has seemingly confirmed that their "five-month romance" has come to an end.

In his new album Insomnia, Skepta is said to be rapping about Adele on the track Mic Check, according to The Sun.

The star raps the lyrics: "Can you handle the fame? You know you're f***ing with a star?

"When you're f***ing with me, they talk about you in the Press."

It was recently revealed that musician Adele found rumours that she was dating Skepta "hilarious" according to her friends.

In his new track, the rapper appears to have lifted the lid on what it's like to date someone such as himself, who lives life in the spotlight.

It's claimed that the lyric used by Skepta also makes reference to supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Joseph previously dated the word class model, 49, until their romance broke-off in April 2018.

In his track Interlude, the rapper revealed that Naomi had dressed in racy underwear for him during a FaceTime call.

He said in the lyrics: "How can I fall asleep when I;m on this FaceTime with Nao... shh. She got them ­Victoria Secrets that she's tryna show me."

A representative for both Adele and Skepta has been contacted by Mirror Online for comment.

Skepta's new album was released on Friday, and is a joint collaboration with Chip and D-Block Europe's Young Adz.
