Rapper Ghetts Pleads Guilty to Deadly Hit-and-Run

Justin Clarke-Samuel, aka British rapper Ghetts, has admitted to causing the fatal car crash that killed 20-year-old Nepali student Yubin Tamang. The incident occurred on October 18th in London, where Tamang was hit by a BMW M5 driven dangerously by the rapper.

Clarke-Samuel, 41, appeared via video link from Pentonville prison to plead guilty to two charges - the death of Tamang and reckless driving leading up to the accident. Ghetts' lawyers maintained his innocence but ultimately accepted responsibility for his actions.

The judge at the Old Bailey in London stated that Clarke-Samuel would receive a custodial sentence, though the exact duration had not been decided yet. His license to drive has also been revoked with immediate effect.

Tamang's family was left shattered after their only child passed away. The 20-year-old student had traveled from Nepal for education purposes and was in London when he lost his life at the hands of Ghetts' reckless driving.

Ghetts, known for his award-winning music and collaborations with prominent artists like Ed Sheeran, faced heavy criticism following his arrest. His reputation took a hit as he pleaded guilty to this tragic incident. The rapper had been nominated for the 2024 Mercury Prize for his latest album On Purpose and won best male act at Britain's Mobo awards in 2021.

The repercussions of Ghetts' actions are now being felt, with his fans grappling with the reality that one of their favorite artists may have caused such a tragic loss. The singer will face sentencing on February 12th to determine his exact sentence.
 
I'm still trying to process this, you know? 🤯 I mean, Ghetts was always known for his bars and beats, but it's crazy to think that the same guy who can spit fire like that could also be responsible for taking a young life... 😔 It just goes to show how two sides of the same person can come together. His fans are gonna have to figure out if they still want to rock with this dude after what he did.

And I gotta ask, is 41 too old to get caught up in that reckless stuff? I mean, Ghetts was known for his music and had a successful career, but at the end of the day, it's all about accountability. The judge has to decide on an appropriate sentence, which I guess is due on February 12th... 🤞 Fingers crossed he gets the time he deserves.

It's a shame that Yubin Tamang was the one who lost his life - can you even imagine what his family must be going through? 😢 The fact that he was just a student from Nepal trying to make a better life for himself is heartbreaking. It's moments like these that really put things into perspective and make you appreciate how fragile life really is... 💔
 
I'm shocked 🤯... I mean what's going on here? A talented artist like Ghetts, who has made so many amazing tracks, and he just loses control of the wheel and kills someone 😨?! His fans are gonna be heartbroken, I can imagine... how would they feel when they hear his next album is out 🎶 and they think about what really happened? It's not just about the driving, it's about a human life lost... Ghetts should've been more careful on that night, I don't care if he was stressed or tired, accidents like this can happen to anyone, but shouldn't have happened at all 🤦‍♂️. Hopefully, he gets the sentence he deserves and his fans can move forward, grieving for Yubin Tamang 👨‍🎓.
 
😞🚗😢 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... how can one person's reckless driving cause so much harm and heartbreak? 🤯 I mean, I know Ghetts is a talented artist and all, but let's be real, music isn't worth risking someone's life. 💔 His guilty plea and subsequent sentence are the least he can do for Yubin Tamang's family... it's just not right that his fans have to deal with this too 🤷‍♂️ - he was supposed to be a role model! 🙅‍♂️
 
ugh this is just so sad 🤕... like I loved Ghetts' music too but he's gotta take responsibility for what happened... 20 years old, just starting out with life and he ends up losing his life over some reckless driving... it's just not right 💔... and the fact that he was doing alright in his career too, just to have this weight on him now is just devastating 🤕... I feel bad for Yubin Tamang's family, they must be going through hell right now 😭... 2 years custody seems kinda low imo though, I mean it's a deadly hit-and-run, you'd think the judge would be more harsh 💔
 
🤔 this is so sad... how could someone who's talented and has so many fans do something like this? 🚗💔 did he ever think about the consequences of his actions or was it just a split second decision gone wrong? 😕 also, i'm thinking about yubin's family... 20 years old is way too young to leave behind... my heart goes out to them 💔 what can we expect from ghetts now? will he ever be able to redeem himself after this? 🤷‍♂️
 
.. this is just so sad 🤕... I mean, Ghetts is an amazing artist and all, but this is just devastating news. He's pleaded guilty, which is the right thing to do, but it's still crazy that a life was lost like this. Yubin Tamang was just 20 years old and had his whole life ahead of him... 😭

I know Ghetts' fans are going through a tough time trying to process this - I feel for them. It's not just about the music anymore, it's about the person behind it. And yeah, his license is revoked, which is another step in the right direction.

It's hard not to think about what could've been done differently... but at the end of the day, we can't change the past. All we can do is hope that Ghetts learns from this and moves forward in a positive way. We'll just have to wait and see what the judge decides on February 12th 🤞
 
man, this is so sad 🤕 my heart goes out to the family of Yubin Tamang, it's just awful what happened to him 😢 he was just trying to make a life for himself in london and now he's gone 💔 ghetts' actions were reckless and selfish, no excuse for that kinda behavior 🚫 his fans need to take responsibility too, they've been riding him hard since the arrest but i guess their loyalty is being tested right now ⏰ still gotta support the guy who's gonna face sentencing on feb 12th, hopefully he gets a fair sentence and some time to reflect on what he did 🤞
 
🚗💔 OMG, can you believe this 🤯? Ghetts is now facing a huge price to pay for his reckless driving 🙅‍♂️. I mean, the guy was driving that BMW M5 like it owed him money 🤑 and ended up killing an innocent student 😢. The stats are shocking - 20-year-old Yubin Tamang lost his life in that car crash, and it's a tragedy that no one should ever have to go through 💔.

According to the latest reports, Ghetts has been driving for over 10 years without any major incidents 📊, but this is a clear case of careless behavior 😳. The charts don't lie - in 2021, he won best male act at Britain's Mobo awards, and now his reputation is taking a hit 📉.

Here are some stats that might give you an idea of the severity of the situation:

* 20-year-old students are more likely to die in car crashes than any other age group, with the UK seeing 500+ fatalities on roads every year 🚗
* The average speed of cars in the UK is over 50 mph (80 km/h), which increases the risk of accidents significantly 🌟
* In 2024 alone, there were over 300 reported cases of reckless driving leading to fatal crashes in the UK 📊

Ghetts' fans are struggling to come to terms with this new information, and it's a reminder that even the most successful people can make mistakes 💔. The question is, what will be his sentence? Will he face time behind bars? Only time will tell ⏰!
 
.. this is so sad 🤕. I'm still trying to process how one of our fave rappers could be responsible for taking someone's life. Ghetts' career, music - everything... it all takes a hit now 💔. His fans are left feeling guilty too 🙏. 20 years old, just starting his life in London, and he's gone 😢. I feel bad for Yubin Tamang's family, losing their kid like that 🤝. It's not right that Ghetts' license is revoked now 🚫, but at least the judge acknowledged how reckless he was on the road 🚗. The sentencing in Feb will be a long time coming 💨. Can't help but wonder what led to this... 🤔
 
😔 this is just so sad... I feel for Yubin's family, they must be going through an unimaginable pain 😭. Ghetts' reckless driving is a terrible thing to do & now he has to live with the consequences 🙏. It's not just about the sentence, it's about taking responsibility for your actions & making sure you don't hurt anyone else in the future 💔. I mean, his fans are going through an identity crisis right now - they're trying to reconcile their love for Ghetts' music with this tragic reality 🤯. I think he should be given a fair sentence, but at the same time, it's not like he's been given life in prison or anything... 2 years is still 2 years, you know? 😐
 
just got outta wonderin why this happened 🤯. sounds like someone's reckless behavior had devastating consequences for a young life 💔. fans are strugglin' 2 come 2 terms w/ the fact that their idol could do somethin so wrong 😕. think about it, ppl, music can be powerful but also gotta come w/ responsibility 🤝. hope the sentence fits the crime 👊
 
😱 I cant even believe this is happening, i mean whats the point of having a career when u can just end ppl lives on road?? 🚗💔 Ghetts was like my fave rapper and now hes got blood on his hands... how r we supposed to keep looking up 2 him after doin this?? 😤 and its not just fans, even ppl who didnt know him well are gonna be shook by this. the 20 year old kid was just trying 2 make a better life 4 himself 🤕 and now hes gone 🙏
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... I mean, Ghetts is someone who's been making waves in the music scene for years and now he's faced with consequences that are just devastating 🤕. As a fan of his music, it's hard to reconcile the person who creates these catchy beats with the person who's responsible for taking an innocent life. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the sentence is, but 20 years is definitely possible given the circumstances 😔. It's also crazy how much scrutiny Ghetts faced even before this happened - it's like his career was already being re-evaluated by people 🤯.
 
man this is just so depressing 😔... thinkin about ghetts bein the same guy who made songs like "Valentines Day" and "Cold Heaven"... all that fire flow and energy now feels like it's tainted 🤕... don't get me wrong, he's still a talented dude, but this hit-and-run is just not on 🚫... feel bad for yubin tamang's family too, 20 yrs old... that's just cruel 😢... hope ghetts gets the sentence he deserves and can reflect on his actions 💭...
 
Man, this is just devastating 🤕... think about what's gonna be going through those family members minds, you know? 20 years old, full of life, and taken away in an instant 💔... it's like, what were they thinking driving so recklessly? Ghetts' rep is definitely taking a hit right now, but I feel bad for him too, 'cause he clearly made a mistake 🤷‍♂️. On the other hand, his fans are struggling to cope with this news... I'm no expert, but I think a pretty harsh sentence is in order 💯. We should all be held accountable for our actions, you feel?

.. this is just sickening 🤕, can you believe some celebs think they're above the law? I mean, Ghetts was raking it in with his music and touring, living the dream, and then he goes and kills some poor kid in a hit-and-run? It's just not right. He's lucky to be behind bars, but now he'll have to deal with the consequences of his reckless driving 🚗💔. I remember when rappers like Tupac and Biggie were still in the game, they weren't getting away with this kind of stuff. Times are changing, and I guess some people just can't handle that 💥. The real shame is Tamang's family having to deal with all this grief... RIP, dude 😢
 
Man I'm really shook by this news 🤕. Like, Ghetts is a talented artist and all, but he clearly lost control behind the wheel that night 💥. It's crazy how one second of reckless driving can change someone's life forever 😩. The fact that Yubin was just 20 and had his whole life ahead of him is just devastating 😭. I'm sure Ghetts' fans are struggling to come to terms with this, but it's also a good reminder that we're all human and can make mistakes 🤦‍♂️. The sentence he gets will hopefully be fair and reflective of the gravity of his actions ⚖️. Fingers crossed for Tamang's family and loved ones 💕.
 
🚨😕 I'm so sorry to hear about Yubin Tamang's tragic death. This is really sad news, especially for his family and loved ones. Ghetts' reckless driving was just unacceptable and now he's facing the consequences 🤦‍♂️.

I do think it's fair that his license to drive has been revoked - it's a huge responsibility to be behind the wheel of a car, let alone put lives at risk like this! 🚗💔

As much as I love Ghetts' music (he's an amazing artist!), you can't just ignore the law and expect to get away with it. This is a tough lesson for his fans to learn, but maybe it'll help him grow from this experience 💭.

The fact that he pleaded guilty means he owned up to his mistake, which shows some courage on his part. Now, we just have to wait and see what the sentence will be - hopefully, it's something that reflects the severity of the crime 🤞.
 
🤕 I'm so gutted for Yubin's family 🙏... 20 years old, what a tragedy 😢. Ghetts' music is always fire 🔥 but I guess you can't escape the law 🚔. Reckless driving is just not cool 🚫. You think about your actions and how they could impact others before you get behind the wheel 🤦‍♂️.

Now, I know Ghetts has a fanbase that's super loyal 💯 but it's time for them to take a step back and reflect on this 😔. His music is amazing, don't get me wrong 🎶... but it doesn't excuse his mistakes 🙅‍♂️. It's all about accountability now 💪.

I just wish the court had taken more care when deciding Ghetts' sentence ⏰. A few years in prison might have been enough to show him that speeding is no joke 😬. But a custodial sentence? That's gotta be a minimum 🚫.
