In a speech praising the rapper, Corbyn said: "This last year we've seen dramatic political events all across the world. Against this backdrop we've seen the emergence of an incredible and very powerful artist.
"He's one of London's most inspiring young men, encouraging his listeners to vote, pray and speak openly about mental health and their issues and problems.
"Whether it's speaking out against racism, supporting the victims of Grenfell, he's remained absolutely committed to his roots and values throughout."
Stormzy, who called himself a big fan of Corbyn, gave him a big hug as he accepted the award.
He also shouted out the Labour leader, saying "Big up Jeremy Corbyn", after the politician presented him with the gong.
He later thanked God, his mother and his team for the award.
