Inquiry into BBC-promoted rapper over murder lyrics
The Independent
|January 17, 2025
A drill rapper who had his music promoted by the BBC is being investigated following reports that his lyrics glorify a murder he was convicted of.
Jake Fahri was given a life sentence in 2009 with a minimum term of 14 years for killing 16-year-old schoolboy Jimmy Mizen by throwing an oven dish at him.
The glass dish shattered and severed blood vessels in Jimmy’s neck in a south London bakery on 10 May 2008. Witnesses reported seeing Fahri swaggering from the shop with a smile.
The Sun newspaper has claimed that Fahri, now 35 and no longer in prison, is masked drill artist TEN who was showcased on BBC 1Xtra – with DJ Theo Johnson saying he “really stands out”.
