Skepta

Joseph Junior Adenuga, widely known as Skepta, is a prominent English Grime MC hailing from Tottenham, North London. Born in London to Nigerian parents, he moved to the city at the age of three from Lagos. His ancestry can be traced further back to the Falash Mura community in Ethiopia. Skepta is also recognized as a producer and DJ, closely associated with the North London Grime scene and groups such as Roll Deep and Boy Better Know.

The stage name "Skepta" is derived from the word "sceptre." Dissatisfied with the spelling and seeking a unique identity, he adopted the name to ensure he would be the sole result when searching for it on platforms like YouTube.
