Prison failed for rapper who reportedly glorified murdering boy, family say Prison rehabilitation does not “seem to have made a blind bit of difference” to a BBC-promoted rapper who reportedly glorified murdering a schoolboy, the child’s father has said.
The Sun newspaper has claimed that Fahri, now 35 and no longer in prison, is masked drill artist TEN who was showcased on BBC 1Xtra, with DJ Theo Johnson saying he “really stands out”.
Fahri was released on licence in June 2023 and his music was pushed on BBC 1Xtra less than 18 months later, the Sun reported, adding that DJ Theo Johnson named him an “up-and-coming star”.
Jake Fahri, then 19, was given a life sentence in 2009 with a minimum term of 14 years for killing schoolboy Jimmy Mizen by throwing an oven dish at him.
Witnesses reported seeing Fahri swaggering from the shop with a smile.
