Last night Stormzy was reported to have said the scholarship he launched to help black British students attending Cambridge University was originally proposed for Oxford University, only for the idea to be rejected.

Oxford University have denied the claims, a spokesperson said they “admire Stormzy’s commitment” to higher education however they had “not received or turned down any offer.”

The Grime MC was appearing at the Barbican Centre in London to launch his new publishing imprint #MerkyBooks, in partnership with Penguin.

Journalist Dan Hancox, tweeted: “Tonight at the Barbican Stormzy revealed that the much-discussed scholarship he’s funding at Cambridge Uni was first proposed to Oxford University, and they told him to get lost?! Incredible.”

Oxford University said: “We admire Stormzy’s commitment to inspire and support black students to succeed in higher education

”We have not received or turned down any offer or proposal to fund undergraduate scholarships at Oxford.”

“We have contacted to Stormzy’s representatives today to clarify we would welcome the opportunity to work together on inspiring students from African-Caribbean heritage to study at Oxford.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
