The BBC highlights drill rappers with criminal backgrounds, including Jimmy Mizen’s killer
London: The BBC has been showcasing several drill rappers who have had run-ins with the law. One of the most notable is Loski, who just got out of jail for carrying a loaded gun. Just days after his release, his track “Ashes” was played on 1Xtra.
Then there’s Headie One, who made headlines back in 2018 for bragging about street violence on the same station. He’s had his share of trouble too, with past convictions for dealing drugs and even a stint in prison for carrying a knife.
Another rapper, Digga D, had a documentary aired about him after he got out of a 15-month sentence for violent disorder. He’s been in and out of jail, and he’s facing sentencing again soon for drug-related charges.
And let’s not forget about Jake Fahri, who was convicted of murdering Jimmy Mizen, a 16-year-old. It’s a tough situation, especially for Jimmy’s family, who are still grappling with the loss.
These stories highlight the complex relationship between music, crime, and the media. It’s a wild world out there, and the BBC is right in the thick of it.
