There is no definitive evidence that Robert (“3D”) Del Naja, an artist and the front person for the band Massive Attack, is Banksy. The theory arose because Del Naja hails from Bristol, where Banksy’s art first appeared in the 1990s, and because his art resembles Banksy’s signature stencil art. In addition, a journalist alleged that he had found a correlation between the cities where Massive Attack performed and where work by Banksy appeared. However, a 2026 investigation by Reuters pointed instead to Bristol artist Robin Gunningham, who may have worked with Del Naja in 2022 on several murals attributed to Banksy in areas of Ukraine damaged during the Russia-Ukraine War.
