While Kaluuya's awkward zoom delay at the beginning of his speech was a huge talking point, so did his mention he Harrow native rapper.
Kaluuya also quoted late Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was killed in 2019, during his speech.
"Hey... you did me dirty! You're doing me dirty! You're doing me dirty! You're doing me dirty!" he joked, after his sound was muted.

"This took it out of me," Kaluuya added. "I gave everything. Like the great Nipsey Hussle says, 'We're here to give 'til we're empty'.
Kaluuya said playing Hampton "taught me about myself, and made me grow as a man, and I appreciate it with all my heart... there's a lot of information about how he died, but I hope you people out there will grow and learn about how incredibly he lived".
