Before the kick-off, Stormzy – real name Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr – was interviewed by the BBC and asked about his support for both sides.
“I’m a Ghana boy, so this is beautiful,” he said while looking out into the crowd.
“Everyone keeps asking me, ‘Who are you rooting for?’, and I’m like, ‘I’ll be honest, a nice 1-1 draw’.”
He added: “Do you know what it is? Ghana, we need the points more than England need the points. But it’s just beautiful. It’s obviously both my heritages, so it’s a beautiful day for me.”
Stormzy went on to describe attending the World Cup as “chaotic” and admitted he had lost his sister in the crowd, adding: “I keep reminding myself I’m very blessed to be here.”
The rapper, 32, was born and raised in the UK, but his mother is Ghanaian.
Following the game, he shared a series of snaps from inside the stadium, including posing holding the ball and being interviewed.
He captioned the post: “Now for England to slap 3 or 4 past Panama and for Ghana to nick points against Croatia and we move forward!
“Grateful to of been part of a game that means a lot to me.”
He also thanked Adidas for “for letting me bring out the Trionda”.
