Is Skepta a dad? Rapper posts adorable photo of 'guardian angel'

Grime artist Skepta has melted hearts with his latest Instagram post, cradling his “guardian angel”.

The rapper shared a photo of him nestling a newborn, months after revealing he was set to become a father for the first time.

Fans flooded the comments section with congratulations, as well as the artist's friends including Tinie Tempah, Lethal Bizzle, Banks and Jessie Ware.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell, who reportedly dated Skepta last year, commented: "Beautiful Angel Bless," with heart and prayer emojis.

Skepta – real name Joseph Adenuga – hinted that he was going to become a dad in July last year when he shared an image of an ultrasound.

He didn’t give anything away about the mother of the child, or the gender, instead captioning the post with a rose emoji.

Fans were soon convinced that the mother was Campbell after rumours swirled that they were dating.

The pair were first linked in January 2017 when sources claimed that they were introduced by mutual friends and soon hit it off.

The insider told The Sun: “Naomi and Skepta have been meeting up for a string of secret dates.

“They are both very creative which is why they have hit it off with each other. Things are going well but they are taking it very slowly.”

A couple of months later, the two covered GQ magazine with a topless shoot showing the two nuzzling up.

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Skepta for comment.
