A musician featured in a Netflix series who is accused of causing a fatal accident is now confronting further legal allegations, as stated by the prosecutors.
The notable rapper Ghetts, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, is reported to have not stopped after his BMW collided with 20-year-old Yubin Tamang in north-east London, UK.
The unfortunate incident took place on October 18, and Tamang, who had come to the UK for educational purposes, sadly passed away two days afterward.
Ghetts, recognized for his role as Craig in the well-known Netflix series Supacell, was initially charged with causing Tamang’s death by dangerous driving.
Authorities visited Ghetts’ residence a day following the accident. The black BMW involved, purportedly registered and insured under the defendant’s name, was found with considerable damage.
Now, Ghetts is facing new allegations concerning dangerous driving on different occasions before and after the fatal incident on October 18.
It’s claimed he was recklessly driving in Tavistock Place and several roads across Camden, north London.
The crash involving Tamang took place on Redbridge Lane, Ilford, north-east London at approximately 11.33 pm, according to the Met Police.
Following the incident, Clarke-Samuel is alleged to have continued driving dangerously along Worcester Crescent, Redbridge, as he returned to his home located on King’s Avenue, Woodford, east London.
Ghetts has not yet declared a plea regarding the charges, but he is expected to do so by December 8.
During a court session yesterday (November 24), a judge addressed the rapper: “I’m not going to ask you to enter your pleas today, but I will require you to enter your pleas on December 8, that is the next hearing.”
Ghetts has the option to attend the upcoming court session via video call. He has been held in custody since his initial appearance at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on October 27.
The charges against Ghetts might have influenced his involvement in Supacell, although his character appeared to be written out by the end of the first season.
Though a follow-up season is not yet announced, its creator, Andrew Onwubolu (known professionally as Rapman), has stated he has ‘plans for multiple seasons’.
In an interview last year, Rapman mentioned: “I’ve told Netflix loads of times that I’ve got plans for multiple seasons. But you know how it goes, they’re gonna see how it does, and hopefully we get the next season.
“But I told them, I’ve got a three-season idea story in my head. So, I got three, not saying it could never go over, but I’ve got three stories, these three seasons in my head, of where I know where the story goes.”
