Stormzy recently reflected on a year that he said tested him 'emotionally, professionally and creatively,' admitting backlash to his highly-publicised deal with McDonalds forced him to 'restructure his life.'
He was accused of 'selling out' by his fans are signing the deal with the fast food chain, after the brand faced ongoing calls for boycotts over its links to Israel.
At the time, Stormzy denied he was 'compromising his beliefs' by appearing in the campaign, after fans claimed he had previously deleted posts from his Instagram showing his support for in 2023.
But ahead of the New Year, the rapper penned a lengthy post sharing with his followers how he'd been 'dying a slow death' at the start of the year, and has since undergone huge shifts in his life.
Admitting he became 'crippled with sadness' over the summer, the musician shared that he took an intentional break from social media, even though it's an issue that caused 'major and annoying' discussions behind the scenes.
Ending his 'long-winded' update, Stormzy confirmed that he had still be working on his new music throughout the year and hoped to release is fourth album in 2026.
In his post, Stormzy began: 'OK, I'm ready. There's poetry in all this chaos so lemme embrace it.
'Towards the end of 2024, my life took a few unexpected twists and turns and I was forced to pivot. These same events also robbed me of the wide-eye innocent I once navigated the world with.
'Kinda like how you used to believe that Disneyland was powered by rainbows and fairy dust, and then one day you see a headless Mickey Mouse arguing on the phone and smoking a cigarette.
'This made me more resilient and put the final nail in the coffin of my desire to be understood - a part of that, tbf was already dying a slow death.'
Detailing his decision to accept the McDonald's deal, he wrote: 'So fast forward to the beginning of 2025 where I decide to do a McDonald's deal - a decision that led a lot of you reading this to question both my character and my integrity.
'See now... the younger me and I guess the ''version'' of me you guys are more familiar with would have desperately wanted everyone to understand my reasons for doing it.
'The Mike from yesteryears would have been compelled to quickly explain himself, and let you know that there is no world in which he would ever trade his humanity for cash. Whereas the newer Stormz couldn't give a single f**k to explain that fact.
'F**k what you think and suck my d**k, I don't need to explain anything to anybody.
'(I believe that neither of these extremes are helpful and I guess there's a middle ground I'd like to find but I'll get to that later).
'So 2024 has already kicked my a*s and I was not gonna let 2025 have me on the backfoot, so I came out the first quarter with one hand down my trousers and my middle finger up.
'I kept it moving, I stayed working, I began to create and was back and forth between London and LA. Then towards the end of the summer I found myself crippled by sadness and I was struggling again.
'I had to rebuild my team and restructure my life and tbh without Jesus' divine covering over me and the support of my bestfriend I would have been absolutely cooked.
'The world that I had come to know and love would never be the same again, and the grief and heartbreak of it all was tough.
'I had to grow up and I was being challenged in ways that were making me extremely uncomfortable - the kind of discomfort that let me know God must be preparing me for the future. I just had no idea what for.
'The demands of this new season challenged every part of my being. I was tested physically, spiritually, professionally and creatively. I had no choice but to reassess every detail of my life.
'A season of this nature is even more unsettling for me because I have always been extremely clear in my purpose and even clearer of the direction that The Holy Spirit wants me to move in.
'This year felt like I was in the wilderness, but if you're a believer then you know that the wilderness is one of the most deliberate places God can choose to put you in - for this is where He often chooses to reveal himself.'
