This is the most shocking performance of Stormzy’s “Shut Up” you’ll see, and it’s not even performed by Stormzy himself, but actually an older man performing in Carnaby Street, London.
The man had his own mic, his own speaker and his own stand, which he had to place his book with the lyrics for “Shut Up” (incase he missed some lyrics of course).
He did quite a good job if you ask us, but you can be the judge of that. Even Stormzy picked up on the video and mentioned that this may of been the strangest thing he has seen in his life, we’re sure he must mean that in a good way as he hashtagged “#OiRudeboyShutUp” for the video. Since “Shut Up” has made top 10 on the UK official charts, it has become a song that everyone will know now, no matter the age apparently!
HOWEVER..
Apparently it appeared to be a stunt planned by website Unilad, as they were promoting the new Robert DeNiro and Zac Efron film ‘Dirty Grandpa’. Well if that was the case, either way, big up Stormzy and big up the older man for doing a good job, and we have to say, what a cool job that must be to go around London performing “Shut Up”.
