Jose Mourinho joins Stormzy in ‘Mel Made Me Do It’ video

After a three-year hiatus, premier British grime star Stormzy caused waves on social media on Thursday night when his brand new track dropped without warning.

The 29-year-old released new song “Mel Made Me Do It” along with a 10-minute promo video that includes a host of cameo appearances from assorted famous faces from Louis Theroux to Usain Bolt.

Halfway through the epic track there is also a surprise appearance from one Jose Mourinho, who appears alongside Stormzy with his finger pressed to his lips while sampled audio of his famous “I prefer not to speak” postmatch quote plays.

The video also includes an appearance from Ian Wright, with the Arsenal legend even earning a name-check during a spoken word section performed by British screenwriter and actor Michaela Coel.
