Let the ladies tweet freely!"

Pierre has been in the midst of a breakout year, having starred in the Netflix thriller Rebel Ridge and voiced the titular character in Mufasa: The Lion King. “I have not stopped pinching myself. It feels so surreal,” he recently told GQ UK while discussing his career year. “I’m learning to prioritize rest in a new way. It’s not something that I’ve been very successful at in my adult life so far.”
As for Skepta, he recently announced his sixth studio album, Knife and Fork, while sharing the first single from the project, "Gas Me Up (Diligent)." “It’s been years since I dropped my last album and I want to thank you for all the love during my hiatus. I’ve seen the messages, tweets and Tik Toks, I’m truly grateful that my music is still resonating with the world even in my absence,” he wrote in an announcement on social media, earlier this month. “I’m happy to announce my next studio album #KnifeAndFork is loading, the first single #GasMeUp (Diligent) will be out January 26th. Can’t wait to see you all @ Big Smoke Festival – Happy 2024.” Check out Skepta's latest post on X above.
