Rapper Giggs reveals musical heroes as he praises Stormzy and Central Cee for changing face of British hip hop

GIGGS has spoken about some of his musical heroes and said the British scene is in the best place it’s been for years.

As he posed for the cover of Something About Rocks magazine, out tomorrow, the Incredible Sauce rapper said: “Everyone influences me and I get influenced to this day by the new kids. Dave, Strandz, they inspire me.

“[The UK rap scene] is always evolving. From the beginning to now: it’s gone crazy.

“Look at the likes of Central Cee, Stormzy – they’ve taken it to the highest of heights. All of them.”;

Talking about how he inspired the scene, he joked that there were “loads of little Giggseys about now”;, adding of his aspiring rapper son ML: “I think I’m more about giving my children knowledge to be great, more than materials.

“I just go to the studio and put on a beat and just rap whatever comes into my head.”;

MUM'S THE WORD

MOTHER’S Day saw every celebrity and their dog sharing favourite pictures of their mums online.

David Beckham was among the first to post, and paid tribute to Victoria, as well as his mum Sandra and Posh’s mother Jackie.

Dua Lipa got in on the act with her mum too, along with Davina McCall, Emma Bunton and Holly Willoughby.

I got my lovely mother a box of her favourite Milk Tray, which she inhaled in two minutes flat.

Impressive work, Mum.

MAE IN A LATHER AT VID PAINT

MAE STEPHENS wasn’t quite feeling the glitz and glamour of the music industry on the set of her latest video.

She has just released the visuals for Woah Man!, in which she gets drenched in paint.

But it proved a nightmare getting it all out.

Mae told me: “It was hands down the most enjoyable shoot I’ve ever had. It involves me getting covered in a lot of paint.

“After, I’m like, ‘OK how are we going to get this off?’ And none of us had thought that far ahead.

“We had no shampoo, no conditioner, so I had hand soap and a shower.

“I had to walk back through London with flecks of paint in my hair and carrying a big double-wrapped bin bag of my soaked clothes.”;

That’s showbiz.

ALEX ON A HAT-TRICK

ALEX WARREN is hoping to make it a hat-trick on Friday as his single Ordinary is on course to be No1 for a third consecutive week.

As it stands, Ariana Grande is going to be the highest new entry, with her song Twilight Zone predicted to debut at No4, while Kylie Minogue and Alok are trying to break into the Top Ten with Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love.

If you fancy listening to some new music, try Bellah Mae's Bad Day To Be My Ex, and Bradley Marshall's Save My Heart if you’ve got a minute this week .

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

CAMILA FLUNKS HOMEWORK

IT’S a good thing Camila Cabello is a great singer – because it turns out she is pants at most day-to-day tasks.

The Havana singer, who was 15 when she became a member of girl group Fifth Harmony, says she is useless around the house, and doesn’t often travel by rail like the rest of us.

She said: “I’ve taken some trains. Not the subway. I won’t lie, I am in the black SUVs for Uber.”;

Asked whether she does chores at home, she added: “I honestly do. I’m making myself sound like a douche galore with the no public transport, but I love to wash dishes.

“Actually, I won’t say I love to wash dishes. Now I’m lying. I really need to learn how to use a dishwasher. I don’t know how to use a dishwasher. But I do wash my own dishes.”;

Then asked on the Smallzy’s Surgery podcast if she washes her own clothes, she said: “I don’t, I’ve got to say. I knew that was coming.

“I don’t do laundry. What else is there for chores? I can make food. I look up how to slice vegetables though for most vegetables.”;

Bless her cotton socks.

GERI: I WANNABE PART OF FULL SPICE GIRLS REUNION

GERI HORNERhas confirmed she wants a Spice Girls reunion to go ahead – despite a tricky relationship with Mel B.

I revealed last year that the pair had a frosty reunion at Posh’s 50th birthday party and the tensions were making another comeback rather awkward.

But in a new interview with Flying Ezeday Times Magazine, Geri said: “My hope is we come back together as a collective. It’s more respectful to come as one.”;

When asked if she meant all five of the Spice Girls, who last performed together at the Olympics in 2012, Geri added: “There will be something. We’ll come as one.”;

Geri might struggle to find the time however, after revealing she’d struck a huge film deal for her kids’ books about the adventures of a girl called Rosie Frost.

She added: “The most famous producer in Hollywood has bought the rights.”;
