Perth: Yung Filly, the rapper and YouTube star, is in hot water again. He’s been charged with reckless driving while he’s out on bail for some serious allegations.
Reports say he was caught speeding at 98mph in a 60mph zone on Roe Highway. That’s a pretty reckless move, especially with everything else going on.
This incident happened on November 17, and now his car is impounded. He’s set to appear in court today for both the reckless driving and the ongoing rape and assault charges.
Just a few months back, he faced multiple charges, including assault and sexual penetration without consent. It’s a lot for anyone to deal with.
He’s accused of assaulting a woman in her twenties in a hotel room after a performance. That incident took place on September 28, right after he had a show at a nightclub.
While out on bail, he’s under strict conditions. He can’t post about the case on social media or contact the alleged victim. Plus, he has to stay in Western Australia and check in with the police daily.
Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, grew up in the UK after moving from Colombia. He got into the grime scene and started making waves online.
He became popular in 2017, releasing music and building a massive following on YouTube. His channel has over 1.4 million subscribers and millions of views.
Some of his hits include “Confidence” and “Day to Day.” He’s also hosted shows on the BBC and even appeared on a celebrity baking show.
