‘I can’t stop crying’: Grime star Skepta opens up about his first Ramadan

DUBAI: British rapper and grime star Skepta took to social media to talk about his experience fasting during Ramadan. In a lengthy text posted to his Instagram Stories on the morning of Eid Al-Fitr, the London-born artist told fans that fasting brought him more peace than drugs ever did and that he “can’t stop crying.”

He wrote: “Everything I searched for in psychedelics, I found by fasting. I can’t stop crying. Such a beautiful month.”

The three-time BRIT Award nominee said he will fast again, even when it is not Ramadan.

“I’m so thankful and will definitely be fasting again, even on regular days simply because it is so humbling. Love to my brothers and sisters that fasted for Ramadan,” the “Shutdown” hitmaker added.
