Stormzy has echoed the views of many Game of Thrones fans by asking why Daenerys's dragons seem to be dropping like flies.
The grime star tweeted shortly after the fourth episode of the eighth and final season aired, venting his frustration at the Mother of Dragons' apparent inability to keep her children alive.
After Viserion was turned into an ice dragon by the Night King and subsequently killed after Arya stabbed the White Walker in the Godswood, Dany has now lost another dragon, Rhaegal.
Daenerys was leading her fleet towards King’s Landing to take on Cersei Lannister when a giant crossbolt flies out of nowhere and hits Rhaegal, taking him out and sending him plummeting to the sea below.
This means Dany only has one dragon, Drogon, remaining.
However, Stormzy appears to believe the dragons themselves are more to blame than Dany.
"Daenerys’ dragons are jokemen," he tweeted, adding: "You think if I had 3 big rasclart dragons you could even chat to me about war I’ll burn the whole f***ing gaff down what are you on about.
"Her dragons are always getting f***ed up. Just breathe fire wtf you’re a dragon."
Stormzy recently scored his first number one single with "Vossi Bop", the first track to be taken off his forthcoming second album.
Game of Thrones season 8 continues this Sunday on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic and NowTV in the UK.
