Jose Mourinho says he had ‘a great time’ doing surprise Stormzy music video cameo
Jose Mourinho has made a surprise appearance in Stormzy’s latest music video.
The football manager, currently managing Italian team Roma, shocked fans with his cameo in the British rapper’s recently released video for his new track.
“Mel Made Me Do It” is Stormzy’s first solo track in nearly three years.
The video, which clocks in just under 11 minutes, was released on YouTube on Thursday night (22 September).
Mourinho appears on screen alongside Stormzy when the rapper samples his much-memed comment, saying: “I prefer not to speak like I’m Jose.”
The lyric is a reference to Mourinho’s infamous 2014 quote he gave after a defeat when he managed Chelsea, stating: “I prefer really not to speak. If I speak I’m in big trouble.”
Mourinho, who also formerly managed Manchester United and Tottenham, posted about the music video on Instagram.
He wrote: “Was great fun doing this cameo for Stormzy’s new music video out today. I had a great time.”
😅 Nooooo way. Big Jose Mourinho in the cut!
