“It was in Tipton. We’d gone there to do the work of the people we were to manage, like welders and in the room were 17 white kids”, he told The Sunday Times.
“One day we had our hard hats off. I had a scar on my head and someone goes ‘what happened?’, I said ‘Oh, I got stabbed’.
“I will never forget. I was explaining ‘I got stabbed here, there, there….’ They had faces of horror – and that’s when it dawned on me. Where I come from is mad.
“Of course it’s shocking I’ve been stabbed. Of course it shouldn’t be normal.”
Stormzy travelled to the Midlands for a project management course and it was there that the reality of the incident sank in.
Meanwhile, Stormzy is rumoured to be working on new music ahead of his upcoming second album.
During the interview, he also revealed that he was given a piano lesson by Paul McCartney.
