In addition to his directorial debut, the rapper has shared news of his return to the music scene with the release of his inaugural single, ‘Gas Me Up,’ slated to coincide with the premiere of the ‘Tribal Mark’ movie. This single is part of his upcoming studio album, ‘Knife and Fork.’ Prior to the album launch, a pre-release controversy has stirred online. Skepta, in response to allegations that the artwork for his new single, ‘Gas Me Up (Diligent),’ referenced the Holocaust, promptly issued an apology and removed the controversial image.

The artwork featured a group of bald-headed men, with one bearing the phrase “Gas Me Up” tattooed on his head. Concerns were swiftly raised, linking the image to the tragic deaths of Jewish people in Nazi gas chambers during World War Two. Skepta acknowledged the potential for offense caused by the unintended association and expressed regret in his apology.
