BRITs winner Dave called the PM a racist and broke the internet
The big award at the BRITs is the Album of the Year, which for 2020 went to rapper, Dave, for his album, Psychodrama. However, it was his performance of “Black” that got people talking, as he made the song very topical.
Calling out the Prime Minister for racism and denouncing the treatment of the Grenfell residents and the Windrush generation caused an immediate storm online, with some people bristling over imagined anti-white racism.
#GMB why does GMB promote anti white racism by what was ‘the brits’, if it’s not Stormsy it’s Dave. Political statements should be banned or do what a lot of people do now, switch the garbage off. The Media is creating a massive divide with their constant rhetoric Black vs White

Fortunately I switched the Brits off after 5mins, but seeing extract of this racist prick Dave on SkyNews calling Boris Johnson is nothing more than divisive and inciting racial hatred.
What if a white artist had gone up and rapped something anti black?

Far more were glad to see someone speaking out.
Dave just called out the PM for being racist, blasted the press for Meghan Markle's treatment, paid tribute to Jack Merritt and reminded us that Grenfell victims are still suffering. All in under a minute. Iconic. #Brits2020

Rapper Dave at the Brits there, rapping that “the prime minister’s a real racist.”
Absolutely correct.

Best-selling author and radio presenter, James O’Brien, had this to say on the debate.
Downing Street repeatedly declined to deny that the Prime Minister believes black people to be less intelligent than white people *this week*. But let's all have a heated debate about Dave at the Brits.
