From Rap to Jail: Rapper Ghetts Faces 12-Year Sentence Following Deadly Hit-and-Run

Award-winning rapper Ghetts, also known as Justin Clarke-Samuel, will spend the next 12 years in jail for a hit-and-run incident involving a 20-year-old student, Yubin Tamang, in October 2024. The 41-year-old pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and will be remanded at the Old Bailey.

It was on 18 October 2025 when Ghetts was driving his BMW M5 at more than 60mph, more than double the posted 30mph limit. Tamang was crossing the road at the time. The British grime rapper made it worse when he drove on and did not stop to check on the fallen 20-year-old student, Sky News reported.
