A big fan and a bigger friend. After long being an outspoken champion of Adele, British artist Stormzy is opening up about their enviable friendship.

"As anyone knows, from before I even knew her, I was a fan," Stormzy explained.

When asked about what made them so close, Stormzy pointed to Adele's undeniable charisma, likeability and innate goodness.

"I think everyone just knows that the woman they see is as remarkable in real life as when the cameras are rolling," Stormzy explained.

As for what a Stormzy-Adele hangout might look like, he said it's just as one would expect.

"Real normal conversations that you have with a friend. Nothing headline-grabbing," he said with a laugh. "Just, that's my family. I love her, yeah."
