Both Skepta and Naomi Campbell attended the VO5 NME Awards 2018 on February 14 at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.

Manchester band Pale Waves also spoke about meeting Naomi Campbell at the VO5 NME Awards.

Speaking to NME backstage, Pale Waves described fashion icon Campbell as “lovely”.

“She’s an absolute ledge,” singer Heather Baron-Gracie added. “She’s sat at our table. She just complimented us when we came off stage. She’s an absolute hero.”

Skepta, meanwhile, introduced Liam Gallagher on the night for his Godlike Genius award and performed ‘Ding-A-Ling’ live with Stefflon Don.

NME‘s Jordan Bassett wrote that the performance “left us in no about about the kind of night we were about to witness: showbiz razzle-dazzle, a little debauchery – and tons of bloody fun.”
