Stormzy has disappeared from social media, with his Twitter and Instagram accounts seemingly being deleted overnight.

Fans trying to access the rapper’s Twitter page are now being shown the message: “This account doesn’t exist.” His former Instagram account bears the error message: “Sorry, this page isn't available.”

On Thursday (20 February) Stormzy had tweeted his delight at being awarded the first ever Greggs black card, meaning unlimited, free pastries for life.

He shared a video of the package he received, joking: “I have peaked this is brilliant."

In recent months, Stormzy has been involved in an ongoing Twitter feud with Wiley, with the Grime stars tweeting insults back and forth and releasing diss tracks.

The latest development was Wiley asking Stormzy to battle with him on stage, with the latter appearing to become annoyed with the constant challenges on Twitter.

There has been no explanation yet as to why Stormzy’s accounts have been deleted. The Independent has contacted his representatives for comment.
