Rapper Ghetts, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, has been sentenced to 12 years in jail after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. The incident occurred in October when he hit Yubin Tamang, a 20-year-old student from Nepal, with his BMW and failed to stop after the collision. Mr. Tamang was taken to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries two days later.

The court ruled that Ghetts would also be disqualified from driving for 17 years following his prison sentence. The family of Mr. Tamang expressed their heartbreak saying their only child, who had moved to the UK to pursue education and a better life, was taken from them too soon. The tragic event highlights the severe consequences of dangerous driving and the impact it has on families and communities.

This case has drawn significant media attention due to Ghetts' fame in the grime music scene, raising questions about accountability and the implications of celebrity status in legal matters. As the justice system responded to the incident, it brings to light ongoing conversations about road safety and the responsibilities of drivers on the road.
