The British rapper Pa Salieu has been sentenced to 33 months in prison on charges of violent disorder and possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon in relation to his participation in a mass fight that took place outside a bar in his home town of Coventry in 2018.
Salieu, real name Pa Salieu Gaye, was among a group of nine men accused of chasing and cornering a 23-year-old man, known pseudonymously as “Bobby”. The fight allegedly broke out after Salieu’s friend Fidel Glasgow, grandson of the Specials singer Neville Staple, was stabbed to death aged 21. West Midlands police are still investigating the murder.
