"I have love in abundance for this strong, sweet and honest man," Adele posted to Instagram.
"I'm so proud of him, Stormzy just monumentally headlined Glastonbury in his own right with one album!! The first Grime artist ever to do so, you respected everyone that opened the door for you whilst opening a huge one yourself.
"You and your team are all so good, hard working and beautiful and deserve everything that comes your way. It's been a joy to watch you unfold at lightning speed with absolute grace. It's actually crazy what you've done in less than 3 years, well done darling x"
Ed Sheeran said Stormzy is an "inspiration to many."
