British Poet Steps Up And Buys A Drink For His Twitter Followers In An East London Pub

    A promise is a promise after all.

    In April last year, British poet/rapper Scroobius Pip promised to buy all his Twitter fans a drink if he ever reached 100,000 followers.

    If I ever reach 100k followers I'm gonna arrange drinks in a pub with y'all. Remind me if I forget. It may take a while...haha.

    Unfortunately for him, that actually happened earlier this month.

    But, staying true to his word, he announced on his Facebook page that he would arrange an evening and buy a drink for anyone who turned up:

    "This tweet was in April 2013.
    Well look what's gone and happened…
    Thanks for all the love!
    I'm out of the country right now but, when I'm back I will stay true to my word and arrange a night where I will go to a specific pub (probably London) and buy one drink for however many of you turn up.
    In fact, if you own or work in a pub that might be a good location for this then hit me up.
    Feel free to give me a nice guy discount…"

    And last night Scroobius Pip revealed the event would be taking place at a bar in Hoxton, east London.

    I'm going in... (For those who don't have Instagram these pictures explain)

    Unsurprisingly, quite a lot of people turned up to claim their free drink and meet the rapper.

    Yes, he does appear to have the same rather striking pose in all the pictures.
