What inspired Skepta's film about a Nigerian hitman? BBC Africa
Rapper Skepta says he has decided to create a film about a black undercover secret service agent after he “got bored of talks on who was going to play the black James Bond”.
Speaking about his debut film, Tribal Mark, Skepta tells the BBC he is set on making an anti-hero character for black actors.
Known as one of the pioneers of British…

Damn.
This is inspirational.
So basically another black man that is into the whole gangster lifestyle? Got it so nothing new huh Skepta 🙄
Was is the fact they still eat dogs in Nigeria
Skepta na you be de Ogah!!
So basically nothing like a black james bond. Bond was white and served in the navy. Leave bond alone. Come up with original content.
Nuff respect for this man but he needs to fire his stylist
He looks tired and depressed.
Yes James Bond is white and should stay that way, applaud Skepta for recognising that and creating his own character and ideas. Clearly the race/gender swapping narrative in Hollywood in particular is boring and just shows they have no original ideas.
Sick 🙌🏽
everything is about race now wtf
Bless up
❤
Keep it up skepta, not forgetting your root. This na the koko (most important) of dem all. Nna m gaa front, ahead–ahead
I completely agree with Mr Skepta. There are just not enough faces of colour in films and the media. Why?…Oh to be young, mediocre and black.
I respect Skepta he's UK's best grime/HipHop artist and now he's created his own version of James Bond instead of crying about Idris Elba not getting the role like most Blacks did when they heard the news. This man has no victimhood in him, he's secure in himself, believes in his talent and goes out to make shit happen.
So get this straight he wants him to seen as hero but he is hit man
Wonderful.
Much needed.
He had to clarify, "..it's not a biopic, i'm not a hitman." mainly due to the colonial stream media and corrupt politicians that vilifies the Windrush generation, children of the Windrush generation, and other people from the Goldenwealth.
“I wanted to make a character, a superhero for black actors”
Makes a hitman.
The superhero that black kids should look up to is a Nigerian hitman?
With a skeng longer than a Nokia charger wire….
Boring …
Big move
BBC fix up he specifically said it's not based on his own experiences because he is not a hitman.
Finally! Let’s go!
Hope this is good…
1:34 Act like a hitman, that's not me
Awsome one skep
Skepi is goated fr❤❤❤
Why Nigeria bro? No dey cast us
Lovely 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
No one as cool as skeppy
Agent 420 😔
I don't care whether my super hero is black or white. I care if the story is good.
Where can u watch the film?
This should be on normal BBC aswell. He is our most successful UK rapper as well as being Nigerian!
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Smart Brudda, don't sleep on this man!
It's funny that he had to clarify that it's not a biopic and he's not a hitman lol
BIIIG SMOKEEEE 🫡

Man better knows.

I have tribal marks, btw 🤗
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is special.
Soundtrack fill be fire for sure 🔥
Why’s is ok for skepta to indirectly abuse the white race with pagan slogans in his derogatory term but it’s not ok for us to do the same in regards to there history it’s totally wrong and toxic and dividing communities. Peace.
Big smoke ❤
Looks great 😌
