A murdered teen has been 'brought back to life' in a heartbreaking music video about his own death. Grim artist Joshua Ribera, better known as Depzman, was just 18-years old when he was fatally stabbed outside a Selly Oak nightclub in September 2013.
Now, footage of the tragic teen rapping about his own death has been released as a poignant reminder of the impact of knife crime, Birmingham Live reports. The video, created using deepfake AI technology, features Joshua singing about his childhood, his rise to fame, his family and his death - and how it has affected those he left behind.
Joshua's devastated mum Alison Cope held him in her arms as he died in hospital and has since devoted her life to campaigning against knife crime. She visits schools and prisons with the message that 'if you pick up a blade, you have to be prepared to say goodbye to your family and friends.'
