The GMB host replied that the grime star should use his celebrity status "more carefully", writing: "Come off it @stormzy - saying stuff like that to a bunch of very young schoolkids isn't cool, and you know it.

"You're a hugely influential role model now to so many youngsters, wield that power more carefully."

It didn't end here, however, as Stormzy wrote in response: "No it isn't cool, it's the truth lol.

"Again, they asked me a question and I answered it truthfully and with jest.

"I gave em my opinion, they'll grow up and be able to make their own, this ain't a shocking incident pal sorry lol."

Prior to the election, Stormzy had reached out to fans in the hope of getting them to vote Labour, describing Mr Johnson as a "f**king  prick" in an expressive video on his Instagram page where he boasts 2.7million followers.
