UK Drill Rapper Found Guilty of Attempted Murder
So, this is heavy. UK drill rapper DigDat, real name Nathan Tokosi, was found guilty of attempted murder at the Old Bailey on [Date of Verdict]. Twenty-five years old, and facing some serious time. He wasn't just charged with attempted murder, though. It's a whole list of charges – attempted murder, plus multiple counts relating to firearms and ammo. All stemming from a drive-by shooting.
The Notting Hill Shooting: A Night That Changed Everything
It happened on November 20th, 2023, around 2:05 am on Clydesdale Road in Notting Hill. Imagine the scene: a stolen Audi pulls up next to another car, and then – bam! – at least six shots fired from the passenger side. The victim, 27-year-old Daniel Offei-Ntow, was seriously injured; gunshot wounds to the head, mouth, and body. The prosecution said he was incredibly lucky to be alive. Seriously lucky.
The Audi was later found abandoned, but not before they'd found a gun and ammo inside. And this is where things get really interesting – DigDat's DNA was found in the car. That's pretty damning evidence.
The Investigation: Connecting the Dots
The police investigation was thorough. They discovered DigDat had been borrowing a BMW, making trips back and forth between Deptford and Notting Hill in the days before the shooting. It's like they were laying the groundwork for something... and then it happened. They also found DNA in the Audi belonging to both DigDat and another artist, Kamal Benjamin (aka Wesson). Even though Benjamin’s Instagram showed he was supposedly in Dubai at the time, his close ties to DigDat definitely didn't help matters.
The Verdict and What Comes Next
The verdict? Guilty, on all counts. A unanimous decision. DigDat didn't react, they say. His sentencing hasn't happened yet, but he's facing a long prison sentence, that's for sure. Detective Constable Hannah Forrest called the attack "savage", highlighting just how dangerous Tokosi is, especially considering he'd only recently been released from prison before this incident. It's a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of gun violence in London, and leaves you thinking... what needs to change?
This whole case is chilling, really. It's a reminder of the very real dangers of gun violence and the devastating impact it has on individuals and communities. Honestly, it's a story that leaves you feeling shaken.
