Бэнкси создал для рэпера Стормзи жилет, защищающий от удара ножом

Британский рэпер Стормзи (Stormzy), автор хита Big For Your Boots, стал одним из хедлайнеров фестиваля Glastonbury. На сцену он вышел в защитном жилете, на котором черной и белой красками был нарисован британский флаг.

Выяснилось, что этот жилет создал уличный художник Бэнкси. Об этом он рассказал в своем инстаграме.

"Я сделал кастомизированный жилет, который защищает от удара ножа, и подумал, кто бы мог его надеть? Стормзи на Glastonbury", – написал Бэнкси.

. I made a customised stab-proof vest and thought - who could possibly wear this? Stormzy at Glastonbury.

Стормзи стал первым чернокожим сольным артистом из Британии, выступившим на фестивале Glastonbury в качестве хедлайнера за последние 49 лет. Он открыто говорит о волне насилия с использованием колющего и режущего оружия на почве расовой нетерпимости в Великобритании.
