Stormzy pays homage to Wiley following Ed Sheeran controversy as he drops new song

Stormzy has just gone and dropped a new tune into our ears, titled Wiley Flow, and fans are absolutely losing it after the two rappers engaged in a little debate over Ed Sheeran recently.

On Sunday night the grime artist released the banger, which has already created an earworm with fans, but many were left wondering whether it was a diss or a tribute.

The track opened with the camera following Stormzy, 25, through corridors, as the voice of Wiley, 40, said: Bruv, I didnt look at it this way before, but as I approach my birthday, all you man are my youngers.

Stormzy then launches into his rap, with the opening line: If you cant do 10K first week then I dont wanna hear no chat about numbers.

He then referenced Wileys line about being his youngers before adding further into the first verse: So please man lets just be adults.

The rapper, surrounded by pals in the clip, added he was the GOAT (greatest of all time) before referencing his Rolex – which may be a reference to Wileys hit.

The whole thing was a nod to Wileys legacy, though, with the title and the chorus lyric: And now I hit you n***** with the Wiley flow…

Some fans wondered if it was a thinly-veiled dig, with one asking in the comments: Is this a diss? Seems half diss and half love….

This is no diss track though with Wiley already praising Stormzys tune, as he shared a clip along with the caption: My brudda 4 life @stormzy.

He was met with just as much love, as Stormzy replied: Always love and respect legend #homage.

It came after Stormzy and Wiley both locked horns after the former collaborated with Ed on Take Me Back To London recently.

The Wearing My Rolex rapper took a second to brand the decision for the Thinking Out Loud singer to appear on a grime track weird, before Stormzy defended Ed.

Any diss in Stormzys song was quickly disputed, as one listener slammed the idea: This aint a diss at all, this is him paying tribute to a living legend.

It comes after last month Wiley made his feelings known on Ed and Stormzys collab, after he slid into the comments underneath Stormzys Instagram post promoting their clip and wrote: Oh s*** so now Ed you wanna do grime yeah f***in ell mate (sic), beside all of the cry-laughing emojis.
