2 years ago today - I would’ve been closing the shop at William Hill
1 year ago today - I would’ve been wrapping Top Boy and super excited to start Bluestory the week after.
Today - woke up in my bow tie and shirt with the

This is why you can’t take this serious. You’ll start losing your mind. From time they put Vybz kartel against wiz kid 🤦🏾♂️ yes, I haven’t let it go and idc
I’ve wanted this for years !! Now I’m now just in the show but I’m leading it 🤯I don’t think I’ll ever be able to comprehend this 😭 thanks to everyone that made this happen can’t wait for you to see this! RIP Dad 🌹 love you Mum 🥰❤️ all glory to god 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I remember this dream I had lol. Driving down sunset boulevard, playing youngboy nba - we poppin after Top Boy came out and now I’m going LA for the first time on Wednesday. Mannnn this gon be a movieeeee
Wrapped my first numero uno on a Netflix movie alongside some crazy talented actors and creatives. Can’t believe how much the industry is changing allowing people like me to be considered as a ‘leading man’ in stories that we wouldn’t usually see ourselves in. What a blessing 🙏🏾
Thanks to everyone that’s gone to see the movie this week so so gassed about the response. If you haven’t seen it yet. Make it part of your weekend plans big love and blessings always ❤️

No matter what you do in life there’ll always be something or someone tryna bring you down. No matter what just keep doing you cos you’re all you got at the end of the day!
Love to alllll my supporters each and every time… I been working and I got you guys with new work soon 🙏🏾 love

for recognising my talent yet again ☝🏾❤️
I still can’t believe this! I wish I could’ve been there but none the less I hope this is the first of many 🤞🏾thank God for these blessings daily man 🙏🏾 love to everyone who voted 👊🏾❤️
It’s sad all the amazing work from the Oscars work got overshadowed by this stuff. Honestly there was some seriously good films being celebrated last night 🥲
My mum had a surprise gathering for me, with a few of my close family and team there. Never thought I’d be so oblivious to something like that but it’s actually one of the best feelings ever 😂🙏🏾 Thank God for the people I have around me, it really makes a difference for real 🙌🏾
Getting film release nerves. Thought I’d be kind of used to this already but I do feel semi nervous still I can’t lie. Hope you guys enjoy and love
#LoversRock
as much as I do tomorrow 😅🥴
I’m saying this from NOWWW I have a personal problem if you’re in the UK from the 22nd and don’t see
