Mary J. Blige, with over three decades of dominating the music scene, is no stranger to meeting influential and talented individuals. However, British-Nigerian rapper Skepta may have just impressed the legendary singer in a way that got fans talking. A viral clip from the 2023 Met Gala shows the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul eyeing Skepta with visible admiration as he turned away from her. The moment quickly gained attention on social media, with fans joking that Mary seemed more than just impressed—she was ready to "risk it all."
The interaction, which had no original audio, sparked endless speculation. In the video, Blige, known for her undeniable presence both on and off-screen—particularly her role in Power Book II: Ghost—appears to check out Skepta from head to toe. The chemistry between the two caught the eye of many, with fans having fun imagining what might have been said in their brief exchange.
Skepta, 40, has long been admired by fans and peers alike. The artist has had his fair share of high-profile relationships, including a four-year romance with supermodel Naomi Campbell. Born Joseph Adenuga, Skepta has built a stellar career, contributing to the grime scene and collaborating with major artists such as Drake, A$AP Rocky, and Kid Cudi. His influence stretches beyond music, as he was also honored with a Nigerian chieftaincy title in 2018, receiving the title "Amuludun of Odo-Aje," which means "entertainer" in the Yoruba language.
Skepta's achievements were celebrated by the community, and he shared his gratitude in an Instagram post following the ceremony: “Thank you to the Baale, Chiefs of Odo Aje, and King for presenting me with my Chieftaincy title today. I am honoured and will continue to put time and love into Nigeria, especially the community of Odo Aje.”
The viral moment at the Met Gala only added to Skepta's growing presence as one of the most iconic figures in both the UK and global music scenes.
