Grime Artist Ghetts Charged Over Fatal Ilford Collision

Grime Artist Ghetts Charged Over Fatal Ilford Collision

Post by : Meena Hassan

Prominent British rapper Ghetts, whose legal name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, has appeared in court accused of causing death by dangerous driving following a fatal collision in north‑east London.

The incident occurred on 18 October on Redbridge Lane in Ilford, where police say the defendant's BMW struck 20‑year‑old Yubin Tamang. Authorities allege the driver did not stop at the scene.

Clarke‑Samuel, from Woodford in east London, was originally charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving; that charge was upgraded after Mr Tamang died from his injuries.

At Barkingside Magistrates' Court Clarke‑Samuel, dressed in a grey prison‑issue tracksuit, only provided his name, date of birth and address before being remanded into custody.

The court heard that Mr Tamang was an only child whose parents had brought him to the UK to continue his education.

Clarke‑Samuel is due to appear at the Old Bailey on 24 November.

Ghetts is a Mercury Prize‑nominated grime MC, rapper and songwriter, noted for collaborations with artists such as Stormzy, Ed Sheeran and Skepta. He won Best Male Act at the MOBO Awards in 2021 and received the MOBO Pioneer Award in 2024 for his significant contribution to British Black culture.
