You'd have to be cold-hearted to not feel pretty great for her. She's worked her ass off to get to this moment. It's rare for awards shows to get it right, so shout out the Mercury Prize for doing so pretty consistently.

Long overdue, she’s one of our greatest

WELL BEYOND DESERVED!!!! Strong album with a deep lyric meaning.

Soooooo deserved she is one the best lyricist and hip hop artist alive, in my humble opinion she is what hip hop should be.

Best deserved recent Mercury Prize Win since Sampha’s Process.

she's already one of the best hip-hop artists around and her last album was incredible, completely deserved!

I cried because she surely deserves this and so much more! 🎉

Fucking legendary simz

YEEEESSSSS! She deserved this prize so much. SIMBI is a masterpiece and her artistry is so unique, I'm so happy for her!

One of the best artists in the game, she is incredible. So well deserved

She is so DESERVING OH MY GOSH IM SO HAPPY FOR HER! SO SO PROUD

Fully deserved. Little Simz’s album was the best one on the shortlist

Absolutely well deserved. SIMBI is a masterpiece.

Feeling so emotional! She deserve all the success she will continue to have! Such an incredible unique raw artist.

Well deserved love Little Simz it was a great album my favourite album of 2021

Album of a lifetime, amazing incredible artist

She is actually groundbreaking.Brilliant.

It was an incredible album- well deserved

Totally deserved. Had Reading Festival on tv in the summer and she made my whole house stop what they were doing and start bopping. Not one other live set on tv managed that all year.

Boom! Right there. Long time coming. Congratulations 🎉 🥳 🎊

Raw talent honest to the point and I love how she dawns the long skirt instead of the typical rapper look. That's a woman very in control not concerned about social image or norms. I only discovered her today and NO I'm not embarrassed about that fact. As the lady said herself TIMING IS EVERYTHING. anyway! went straight online and bought all albums IMMEDIATELY! and yeah I'm older gen so NWA! NO WAIT LETS REPHRASE THAT, SINCE THE WH SMITH GIFT SECTION! That was the last time I had interest in rap. So for this young woman to change even my age group is saying something! Shes astounding! I'd go as far to say her flow on numerous occasions surpasses even the top American rappers. the music is so simple in sound, and yet genius and thats the point she kept it simple with extremely clever and exquisite annunciation and messaging. There's something about British rapper that just seems to have it. No frills no pretention! Truly a deserved award 👏 🙌 💜 👌

Should’ve won Grammys, or even BRITs, one of the greatest albums of the last ten years all genres and was easily the best rap album last year, she didn’t get any respect because she is English and a female rapper that isn’t just a stripper with ghost written songs but fuck the Grammys, UK rap music is going to take over soon because the new American rappers are shit 😂

Very well deserved 🥳🥳🥳

Simz isn’t all that little. Her humble is huge. 🍺

Masterpiece with her last album.

She’s incredible

love SIMZ❤

This is one of the greatest albums of all time

I am not a fan of the Mercury Prize as it has always been one of those awards ceremony's which as it’s decided by people in the music industry, I basically ignore it. I do concede that we need an award that doesn’t represent necessarily the populist vote but the individual’s artistic talent. I guessed Little Simz would win and knew Sam Fender wouldn't as he doesn't fit the panels criteria. I am not a Sam Fender fan btw as I would rather listen to a Springsteen record but I can see why he's so popular. It was still good to have Little Simz win and not someone from a privileged background. I wouldn't of minded who had won tbh but thank F**k Wet Leg didn't😁

Yet another bent result.I was told Little Simz was gonna win , from a source in the music industry over a month ago.Scrap this system , or I will keep taking more money from the Bookies.

Good job a coloured person got it as they would be grumbling forever. Better music out there than rap...

Pandering

I do like a couple of her tunes but I wouldn’t call her music groundbreaking - the Mercury prize used to have a bit of a rep for pushing new stuff, I remember Roni Size winning it. In all honesty most of the stuff I’ve heard from Simz is reminiscent of UK rap from twenty years ago, heavily influenced by 90s American hiphop. She reminds me of Est’elle before American Boy, plus a few female acts out of Nottingham/Out Da Ville.

Should’ve been Sam Fender tbh… but that’s my opinion

haha what a joke, british music dying

Legend status confirmed. 🤍
