South London: So, there’s this rapper named Jake Fahri, right? He goes by TEN and has been all over the place, even getting some airtime on BBC. But here’s the kicker—he’s actually the guy who killed a schoolboy named Jimmy Mizen back in 2008.
Fahri, who just got out of prison, has been rapping about violence and murder in his songs. It’s pretty shocking, especially since he was recently promoted by the BBC. His lyrics are pretty graphic, and they seem to reference Jimmy’s murder directly.
Jimmy was just 16 when he was attacked in a bakery. Fahri threw a Pyrex dish at him, which ended up being fatal. It’s a brutal story, and now, after all these years, this guy is back in the spotlight, rapping about his past.
People are understandably upset. Jimmy’s family is heartbroken, especially his mom, who has worked hard to promote peace since her son’s death. She said she’d be really saddened if this news is true, and it’s a lot for the family to process.
The Ministry of Justice is looking into this whole situation because it raises serious questions about how the BBC is promoting someone with such a violent past. They’ve got strict guidelines, but it seems like they missed the mark here.
Fahri’s music is still out there, and while some of it has been censored, you can find the unedited versions online. It’s a tough pill to swallow, knowing that he’s making money off his music, which is tied to such a tragic event.
Critics, including some politicians, are calling for the BBC to apologize to Jimmy’s family. They argue that promoting someone like Fahri sends the wrong message, especially to young listeners who might see him as a role model.
It’s a complicated situation, and it’s hard to see how this will all play out. But one thing’s for sure: the conversation around drill music and its impact on society is far from over.
