They were first linked to one another in October after it had emerged that Adele’s marriage to Simon Konecki had broken down.
And grime artist Skepta, real name Joseph Junior Adenuga, 37, appears to confirm that things are now over between himself and Adele in a new track, Mic Check, from his album, Insomnia.

He raps: ‘Can you handle the fame? You know you’re f***ing with a star? (pictured in JUpune 2018)
‘When you’re f***ing with me, they talk about you in the Press.’
As well as being linked with Adele, 31, Skepta has also been reportedly dating supermodel Naomi Campbell, 49, for a few months up until April 2018.
He also references her in the song Interlude and claims she wore sexy underwear for him during a video call.
He penned: ‘How can I fall asleep when I’m on this FaceTime with Nao… shh. She got them Victoria Secrets that she’s tryna show me.’
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for both Skepta and Adele.
Next level? Adele was said to have taken her ‘whirlwind romance’ with Skepta to the next level and introduced him to friends including James Corden back in October
In August 2018, Naomi unfollowed Skepta after he posted a baby scan on Instagram, leading fans to question whether or not they might be expecting.
She deleted any trace of him from her social media, including their raunchy GQ cover which had been released in March of that year.
In October, it had been claimed that Adele had taken her ‘whirlwind romance’ with Skepta to the next level by introducing him to her friends, including James Corden.
The source said: ‘No one saw it coming but there’s a whirlwind romance going on between Adele and Skepta.
‘It’s been a bit of a brief fling so far… the fact Skepta has met Laura Dockrill and James seems like a positive sign. Everyone wants the best for both off them.’

They also revealed Adele and Skepta, ‘care about each other very much as friends’.
Adele and Laura became friends when they both attended the BRIT School and remained pals despite a fleeting falling out which inspired Adele’s track My Same.
In August, Laura revealed on Instagram that ‘spirit sister’ Adele quickly detected the signs of the serious mental illness in her after she gave birth to the singer’s godson.
The Someone Like You hitmaker spotted Laura’s symptoms – which can include hallucinations, depression and mania – while they were FaceTiming.
And Adele has been pals with James Corden since her move to LA. She has appeared on the Carpool Karaoke section of his US chat series The Late Late Show.

It is thought that Adele helped Skepta celebrate his 37th birthday at the Crystal Maze experience in London in September.
A source revealed to The Sun that the musicians have ‘been there for each other’ after their breakups and they have a ‘special connection.’
They added: ‘Some of their friends are hoping and predicting they could end up being a great couple one day.’
The insider added: ‘They are both private about their love lives and they are both committed to their children first and foremost as well.’
Adele shares a son called Angelo with her ex Simon, who she split with in April 2019 after seven years together, while Skepta became a father in November 2018.
The reports come after the pair have spoken about each other in high regards to the press and made it clear of their fondness on social media.
In 2016, Skepta said of Adele to ES Magazine: ‘Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going.’
While in the same year, the Someone Like You hitmaker posted a picture of the Shutdown rapper, writing: ‘Tottenham Boy’ alongside a heart emoji.
The Mercury Prize winner retweeted the snap and replied: ‘love you’ with a red rose emoji.
Discussing the moment, months later Skepta told IBTimes UK: ‘She gassed me up.
‘One day I was just chilling and she [tweeted] a picture that said ‘Tottenham boy’ and she’s from Tottenham as well.
‘I was actually going to quit music that day, that was one of the sickest things ever. She’s like the lady of Tottenham.’
As one of the world’s leading singers, Adele boasts a net of £110 million, over 146 awards – including nine Brits, 15 Grammys and even an Academy Award.

And while his reported flame continues to dominate the music industry, rapper Skepta is a successful artist in his own right – securing a reported net worth of £4 million, according to The Sun.
The MC first rose to fame as a founding member of grime collective Boy Better Know in 2006, and has since launched a fruitful solo career, with the hunk scooping Apple Music’s Best Album of 2016 prize with his fourth studio album Konnichiwa.
MailOnline have contacted representatives of Adele for comment.

Grammy winner Adele officially filed for divorce from Simon, 46 – the only partner she’s gone public with during her career, last month, and the following day she continued her legal process when she asked for joint physical and legal custody of their son Angelo, seven.
And just four days after she filed for divorce, Simon agreed to her request for joint custody of their child, showing signs that their split will be amicable.
The duo originally announced their split in April. The Blast obtained documents pertaining to Adele’s situation, and reports that she ‘is willing to settle up on finances in mediation and have indicated they have worked out a custody arrangement.’
The news appears to coincide with sources who spoke to People about the couple’s plans to ‘stay friendly because of their child’.
Said one source: ‘They’re raising Angelo with love, warmth and real respect for each other. She just seems happy being a mom and working.’
Simon and Adele began dating in 2011, and welcomed their son in 2012.
People reports that the couple wed in May 2018, according to divorce filings obtained by the site. Adele and Simon reportedly did not have a pre-nuptial agreement.

The couple chose California to file for divorce, and Simon could walk away with half of Adele’s fortune, which is estimated at $180 million.
The duo reportedly filed in the state because ‘they own property and [Simon] Konecki’s business has a base of operations,’ according to People. Their original decision to split was announced in April via Adele’s reps.
‘Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.’
While the musician is famed for maintaining a relatively private personal life, Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry claimed the pair kissed on a drunken night out in August 2016.
The reality star, 24, told The Mirror at the time: ‘He was just there and we necked on. I haven’t spoken to him since, though. I was really drunk. I don’t remember much.’
