In a recent interview between Goldie and Scroobius Pip for Pip's podcast, Goldie begins by talking about Banksy and then about how graffiti is misunderstood. He then continues on to say "No disrespect to Robert, I think he is a brilliant artist. I think he has flipped the world of art over."

The assumption here, is that he is referring to Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack. About a year ago an investigative journalist named Craig Williams wrote a large piece which suggests that Robert is in fact Banksy, or at the very least involved if Banksy is more than one person.

The slip from Goldie logically leads us to believe the "Robert" he mentioned is in fact Robert Del Naja, because the two know each other from a large graffiti battle in the 1980s.

Del Naja has previously denied being Banksy after the Williams article was released, but time will tell how he approaches the newest speculation.
