Skepta's mum has told how postnatal depression made her have thoughts of killing him as a baby. Ify Adenuga told the rapper’s dad Joe that she had thought of throwing him off the balcony of their flat. "People would gather round his body, ambulance, police and fire brigade would be in attendance’.”Ify realised later that she had postnatal depression and should have sought help. But she said she was saved by a phone engineer who showed her how to use a Weetabix mix to stop Skepta crying. Skepta, 38 – real name Joseph Junior – is dating pop star Adele, 32, who is also from Tottenham, North London.
