It was rapper/grime MC Skepta's birthday at the weekend, so his family decided to throw him a surprise party - but it didn't quite work out that way.

The Londoner turned 33 on Sunday and cake company Cake Create Ltd. were enlisted to make him a Union Jack-themed cake featuring the logo of his label, Boy Better Know.

Unfortunately, the company acted too early by posting a picture of the cake to Instagram and tagging Skepta in it, therefore ruining the surprise.

His friends were livid, posting messages like 'Fam he ain't even seen the cake yet you just ruined his birthday! You should not be posting this it's unprofessional. And I will be taking further action' and 'This was supposed to be a surprise. Thanks mate.'

The company have since made their account private, but SB.TV posted a picture of the incident - and the angry/hilarious comments - on Facebook:

 

 

True, he didn't look very surprised when he was presented with the cake later on that day:
