The rapper described the gig as "the best night of my life" Loyle Carner announced that he is the father of a new daughter during his headline set at All Points East Festival last night (August 17). The annual All Points East takeover of Victoria Park in London is well under way, with Kaytranada having headlined on Friday (August 16) and Carner taking the top of the bill yesterday. Closing out a set that he described as “the best night of my life”, Carner’s final track was ‘Ottolenghi’, which includes the line, “ So I sit and start to wonder on the woman she’ll become / Wonder if I’ll have a son or a daughter ”.
However, on this occasion, Carner tweaked the lyrics, this time rapping: “ Because now I have a son and a daughter ”. The news that his new daughter now makes him a father of two was picked up on by the crowd, who cheered the good news. See images and clips from Carner’s set below, which also saw him joined by Jordan Rakei , Tom Misch and poet John Agard.
