What Is Stormzy's Net Worth In 2022?

Stormzy is one of the UK’s most loved rappers and is undoubtedly the soundtrack to most Gen Zers’ teenage years with his infamous song “Shut Up”, which was released in 2015.

He was was named an artist to look out for in the BBC’s Sound of 2015 list, and even won the Best Grime Act at the MOBO Awards in 2014 and 2015.

Since his initial success, Stormzy has been the first Black British artist to headline Glastonbury Festival in 2019, and used this opportunity to speak out about the injustice within the UK’s criminal justice system.

As of 2022, Stormzy’s estimated net worth is $25 million (£20.5 million), according to WealthyGorilla.

The artist’s first taste of the music industry came in 2014 with his self released debut album, Dreamers Disease.

In an interview with the BBC, Stormzy called himself a “child of grime” and differentiated himself from other well-loved rappers of today, including Kanye West and Jay-Z, stating that “What I’m doing is British. It stems from the same culture as US hip-hop, but the way we dress, the way we speak, the way we perform is so different. It’s UK street culture.”

In 2019, Stormzy made political waves in an interview with Italian publication, La Republicca, in which he claimed that there is a lot of racism in Britain which has worsened since Boris Johnson became prime minister.

Stormzy was also met with backlash by none other than Michael Gove after using his performance at Glastonbury in 2019 to make a political statement. Gove mocked Stormzy on Twitter by using the rapper’s dialect in a tweet, sparking controversy over social class and racial prejudice.

Stormzy has since continued to be open about his political views, and was reportedly spotted attending the Black Lives Matter protests in London in June 2020.
