British rapper Ghetts has reportedly been arrested and charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run.
The Metropolitan Police announced that Ghetts, real name Justin Clarke-Samuel, was driving in the Ilford, Essex, area when he failed to stop after hitting a 20-year-old man in Ilford on Saturday, October 18.
The man died in the hospital on the same day.
The indictment against Ghetts, who starred in the critically acclaimed Netflix series, Supacell, is expected to change from causing serious injury to causing death by dangerous driving at the next hearing, according to the BBC.
The rapper has not been released on bond and is scheduled to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Popular in the UK, Ghetts was nominated for a Mercury Prize, and in 2021, he took home the award for Best Male Act at the Mobo Awards. Three years later, in 2024, he received the Mobo Pioneer Award 2024 for his significant contribution to British Black culture.
