The 25-year-old, whose real name is Irving Adjei, was arrested last June after his car was stopped and searched by police, and a lock knife was discovered. He was bailed on the condition that he stay out of the London boroughs of Haringey and Enfield. He went on to perform at festivals including Glastonbury and Wireless, and completed a UK tour in the autumn. You can’t really tell someone from that environment what to do.”He is the second prominent British rapper to be recently sentenced to a jail term for carrying a knife. Brit and Mercury-nominated J Hus was sentenced to eight months in December 2018 after he was arrested in Stratford, east London, in June that year.
