Skepta is a surprise ABBA fan.
The 41-year-old grime rapper was playing a DJ set at Dear Darling nightclub in London's posh Mayfair district and stunned revelers by dropping the Swedish pop group's single 'Money, Money, Money' into his set as well as other ABBA hits.
Skepta further surprised the crowd by singing along to the 1976 track.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “He was playing some amazing techno house remixes. Then out of nowhere he started playing ABBA songs. He was singing along to the tracks he was playing and knew all the lyrics to Money, Money, Money.
“Skepta looked completely at home with ABBA and was clearly enjoying himself dancing with them.”
The Tottenham-born rap star showed he has an eclectic taste in October when he released the house track “Can't Play Myself (A Tribute To Amy)” under his Más Tiempo moniker. The tune was sampled from the late Amy Winehouse's 2007 single 'Tears Dry On Their Own'.
Skepta was given permission to sample the song – which featured on her classic 2006 album 'Back To Black' – from the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
His last studio album was 'Ignorance Is Bliss', which was released in 2019, and as well as his Más Tiempo releases, Skepta has also collaborated with Pop Smoke, A$AP Rocky and Slowthai.
