ArrDee has set the record straight on whether he\u2019s into witchcraft.<\/p>\n
In the past, the Brighton rapper has spoken about the power of crystals and \u2018witchcraft\u2019, but chatting to Metro.co.uk<\/strong> the 20-year-old hitmaker, real name Riley Jason Davies, cleared a few things up.<\/p>\n \u2018I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m into witchcraft, it\u2019s something that my mum\u2019s looked into.\u2019<\/p>\n The musician then added: \u2018My mum\u2019s also corrected me, she wouldn\u2019t call it witchcraft. Basically, she looks into crystals and stones and how we\u2019re all connected.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018My mum\u2019s always been like that,\u2019 ArrDee added, \u2018giving me necklaces or rings \u2013 pieces of jewellery.<\/p>\n \u2018I used to wear the black ring \u2013 obsidian and black sapphire \u2013 which is meant to be protective and ground me.\u2019<\/p>\n Did he feel protected while wearing the ring? \u2018Yeah,\u2019 came the rising star\u2019s reply. \u2018As long as it works for you, that\u2019s the main thing.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018We\u2019re not sitting at home with our cauldron whipping up potions,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n We were chatting to the British rapper about his feature film debut in Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance.<\/p>\n To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5video<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ArrDee \u2013 who already has an impressive five UK top hits under his belt \u2013 was quick to rave about joining the franchise, which he wanted to be involved in \u2018no matter what\u2019.<\/p>\n Directed by Nick Nevern, who previously helmed Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins, Vengeance is the sixth instalment in the cult franchise and follows main character Pat Tate (Craig Fairbrass) as he seeks vengeance over the murder of one of his foot soldiers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Departing the Essex underworld for gritty 90s Soho, Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance promises to be an all-guns-blazing addition to the gritty franchise and is a total pinch-me moment for ArrDee.<\/p>\n Asked how the gig came about, he told us: \u2018I was a bit bored. I was scrolling through my DM requests and I saw Nick\u2019s name.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019d been a fan of the franchise for years, so it all made absolute sense.\u2019<\/p>\n ArrDee added: \u2018Before I\u2019d even read the script I said to my manager, \u201cI have to be involved no matter what\u201d. I didn\u2019t care what the payment was. It was about being a part of films I grew up watching.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The chart-topper then said: \u2018It blows some of my friends\u2019 minds that I\u2019m going to be in these films. [They] think there\u2019s nothing I could ever do that could possibly top this.\u2019<\/p>\n Oh, and in case you were wondering just how gnarly the latest Footsoldier instalment is, when we asked ArrDee what his favourite memory from set was, he told us: \u2018I\u2019ve got a couple in mind. I don\u2019t know how many of them can go into the article.\u2019<\/p>\n Enough said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that he\u2019s a fully-fledged movie star, ArrDee must have accumulated some die-hard fans.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019ve got a couple that I recognise when they come to every single CD signing, show \u2013 anything I\u2019ve publicly said I\u2019m going to appear at, they\u2019re there.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018They\u2019re sweet people,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n \u2018It can be a little bit daunting at times. But it\u2019s nice someone feels that connected to me over my music.\u2019<\/p>\n One thing\u2019s for sure, right now, the world\u2019s ArrDee\u2019s oyster.<\/p>\n Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance is in cinemas now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
