Topless together, Naomi, 47, and toyboy music star

Two faces of grime (that’s British rap with violence and expletives)

NAOMI Campbell shows off her toyboy lover – as she poses topless in a pair of briefs.

The supermodel, 47, and 35year-old rapper Skepta are thought to have been dating since January.

Although they have not confirmed their relationsh­ip, the pair appeared happy to strip off together in the racy photoshoot for men’s magazine GQ. Londonborn Skepta – real name Joseph Junior Adenuga – is a rising star in the rap-style music genre known as grime.

The heavily-tattooed musician, whose best friend was stabbed to death in 2015, escaped a life of gangs, crime and drugs by following a career in music. He used to carry a weapon – which he referred to as ‘a strap’ – and was given community service for committing GBH in 2010.

Speculatio­n that he was dating Miss Campbell was sparked earlier this year following claims they had gone on a string of dates in Paris.

In the article for GQ, she described their relationsh­ip as a ‘friendship that blossomed’ – but does not reveal whether they are officially dating.

The model, wearing white unisex briefs made by the rapper’s clothing label, said: ‘It’s great that we’re a black man and a black woman on the cover of British GQ in 2018. This is the new way; this is what it should be and how it should stay. We’re not a trend.’ Skepta, from Tottenham, won the Mercury prize in 2016 for his fourth album and starred in crime film Anti-Social alongside Meghan Markle.
