Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Example surprised one of his fans by buying them a new car – all so they could listen to his new album.
Twitter user Jordan asked the rapper whether his upcoming release, Bangers & Ballads, would be available on CD as: “I need some new bangers from you while I’m driving”. Example was quick to reply: “Probably not. It’s 2018.”
To which Jordan responded: “And my car is from 2001 and doesn’t have an aux.” It seems Example’s solution to the problem was simply to buy the fan a new car so he could listen to the album. Oh, to have the whims of a successful rapper.
“This lad don’t have an aux or Bluetooth in his car. Only CD. And my new album won’t be on CD. So I’m gonna buy him a new car so he can enjoy it,” he tweeted. “Don’t worry bro I’ve got you.”
Example, otherwise known as Elliot John Gleave, first hit the mainstream back in 2010, after his second studio album Won’t Go Quietly peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart. He had two number one singles in 2011, “Changed the Way You Kiss Me” and “Stay Awake”, both from Playing in the Shadows.
Bangers & Ballads is out in July.
