London: A rapper known as TEN, who got a boost from the BBC, is under investigation. His lyrics seem to celebrate the murder of Jimmy Mizen, which is pretty shocking.
Back in 2009, Jake Fahri was sentenced to life for killing 16-year-old Jimmy by throwing a glass dish at him. It was a brutal act that left a lasting impact.
Witnesses said Fahri walked out of the bakery with a grin after the incident. Now, at 35 and out of prison, he’s making music that references Jimmy’s death.
In one of his songs, he talks about violence in a way that many find disturbing. Lyrics like “Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s” have raised eyebrows.
The prison service is taking this seriously and is looking into the matter. Meanwhile, the BBC clarified that they haven’t played this rapper’s song on their platforms.
Jimmy’s dad, Barry, expressed his frustration, saying that despite Fahri completing programs in prison, it doesn’t seem to have changed anything. He’s questioning the effectiveness of the system.
Barry and his wife, Margaret, have shown incredible strength since their son’s murder. They’ve spoken about forgiveness, saying it helps them move forward.
Margaret once shared that forgiving Fahri was essential for her peace of mind. She believes that more forgiveness in the world could lead to better outcomes for everyone.
The BBC reassured the public that they have strict guidelines and do not promote violence in any form. They’re taking this situation seriously and will handle it appropriately.
