Rapper Stormzy turned heads when he showed up at a Ronin Fightshow at Basingstoke College of Technology (BCoT) on Saturday, March 28, to watch a family member compete.
Performing at the event was 11-year-old DJ Chicken Nugget, aka Chester Haddock, who played a Stormzy set.

Terri Haddock, Chester’s mum, said: “Stormzy turned up and Chester did his garage set and he was sat three rows in front.
“He had no idea that Stormzy was going to be here, he was clapping him and cheering him, it was just crazy.”
She said that after his set, Stormzy met Chester outside and was ‘so positive’ to him, telling him that he was amazing and to ‘never give up your dream.’
In a post on Instagram, Chester wrote: “Words can’t explain how grateful I am to you for giving me the time of day on Saturday. I am always super grateful for anything I get the opportunity to do, but this has got to top everything.”
“He was so kind and said some really lovely words to me that I will honestly remember for my lifetime. I can’t actually believe this happened to little 11-year-old me.”
