The stories of Oritse Williams and Rex Orange County may guide what Slowthai does next with his career – but only the general public will determine the outcome of his comeback.
Marcus Johnstone says he feels there “may be some hope” for the Northampton-based rapper.
“His attraction is to a certain demographic who may not see the need to ‘cancel’ him,” he says.
He adds that Slowthai’s future song writing will be “inspired by what he has endured”.
In his 2021 song CANCELLED, Slowthai asked: “How you gonna cancel me?”
“Said I won’t come back, I must be cancer, ain’t got much longer, then I made a comeback,” he rapped on the song.
Slowthai will now be hoping that comeback he predicted in a song three years ago will come to fruition – otherwise he will be left to find out the answer to “How you gonna cancel me?”.
