Grime star Stormzy has revealed he's been stabbed three times in the past, including sustaining a knife wound to the head, but didn't initially realise it wasn't 'normal'.
The Brit award winner, 25, who grew up in Croydon, South London told The Sunday Times Magazine that the magnitude only hit him when he first stepped out of his community to attended a project management course in the West Midlands.
"In the room were 17 white kids. 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.
"We live in this warped view of reality, and it's not our fault."
