Skepta isn’t worried about missing out on People Magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ title.
On Thursday (Oct. 28), the British rapper reposted a fan who questioned why he hadn’t been named the ‘Sexiest Man Alive.’ This year, the nod went to 55-year-old actor Noah Wyle, known for his roles in medical dramas ER and The Pitt.
“The ladies call me this on a regular lol fuck a magazine validation 🚯,” Skepta wrote on X.
The rapper, who’s readying his upcoming album, The Fork and Knife for a Nov. 6 release, added a follow-up on Friday (Oct. 30), tweeting that he’s been “sexualised” his “whole life.”
“I can’t get gassed over a magazine cover,” he continued.
While Skepta has seemingly dismissed a future on the cover of People Magazine, Wyle happily accepted his ‘Sexiest Man’ title, although he initially thought it was prank.
“I thought that sounded like a prank — just not in a million years did I think that this would be an honor bestowed on me,” the entertainer told People.
The actor was ultimately encouraged to accept the title by his wife, Sara, whom he married in 2014. The couple share a daughter, Frances, 11, while Wyles has two older children from his first marriage to Tracy Warbin, whom he divorced in 2010 after ten years.
“She thinks I’m a good guy and that the kind of person that I am and the kind of father I am, the kind of husband I am, is worth promoting.” the actor said about his wife.
