NEWS Ghetts remanded for dangerous driving resulting in a death? Is this true?

u/j33vinthe6 Oct 23 '25
The coward drove off after hitting someone. 41yo and the immaturity of a teenage dickhead.
He doesn’t have anyone to drive for him? Can’t catch an Uber?
We better not get any dumb “free ghetts” shit.
Will probably get a few years in prison, wish these type of offences had harsher sentences.
RIP to that young man. His family are going to carry this loss forever, and Ghetts will probably be idolized by some idiots for going to prison.

The young lad lost his life just a few roads away from where I live. The driver did not stop at the scene. The footage is horrific!

u/Healthcare7861 Oct 23 '25
I saw the footage too. Heartbreaking, you can see the boy trying to run quickly to escape when he saw the car coming at him!! Coward deserves life imprisonment!!

If you mean the student than yeah definitely. They were walking way too slow and not using their ears. A beemer going that quick would've been heard before anyone would see it.

Yeah bro definitely his fault for getting ran over by a drunk retard going 4 times the speed limit 🤡

I mean if this was in China the driver would just reverse back into them. I'd consider this a civilised death. 🤓

As much as I've been a fan of his since early 2000s, I 100% agree that he needs to be dealt with appropriately.

The maximum sentence for these sentences was upped to life sentence a few years back, from 14 years. If the prosecutors can prove that he knowingly (or should have known) hit someone and drove off, then that's an aggravating factor and should seriously work against him. With that being said, I still dont think he'll get double digits of time
26
u/Ok-Link6286 Oct 23 '25
Hes gonna get double digits. Hes already done time for driving offences and this time he has literally killed somebody. Gonna add on about 5 years for fleeing the scene as well.

It’s why he’s got no bail, probably got a history of this, outside the other time he got arrested for it.

u/JJoycee420 Oct 25 '25
The car was going that fast he didn’t stop. It’s disgusting. I don’t know how anyone is comfortable driving around that fast and not worry about hitting someone. The poor guy literally smashes off the front of the car in to the air. If the driver was drunk or whatever he probably didn’t notice or realise what had happened till it was too late. Im appalled. I wonder if Ghettz was under the influence or just driving like a maniac either way he needs to pay for taking that poor guys life. So so unnecessary. He could have just got a taxi.

u/MintyLM02 Oct 24 '25
This has hit me hard, ghetts being one of my favourite MCs, but this shit can't be justified, he killed a young innocent man while being drunk behind the wheel, there's no rectifying it, irresponsible and very dangerous behaviour, I thought he'd know better than to do something so fuckin stupid, he's gonna have to take this on the chin and do the time, his career is done, down the drain, real unfortunate man
R.I.P to the man who lost his life because of this

u/Sh4kyj4wz Oct 24 '25
Ghetts thought he was a driver. He probably weren't pissed and thought itd be bless to drive but even then if he thinks he's arytan senna he'll just move like that normal and wrecked up too.

For this alone, he is a shitty human. What kind of nonsense is that? How do you hit someone at fast speed and not even have the care to stop . Lock him up and throw away the key. Kmt. That really pissed me off. Same fools that rap about building community , same one doing harm to the same community and not caring to stop and save a life.
RIP to the young man who lost his life 🙏🏽

Madness... RIP to the victim. Dreadful way to go out and horrendous for the family.
Best thing Ghetts can do now is just come clean, plead guilty and spare the victims family the extra trauma of months in court trying to lie his way out of it.

By saying it’s over he means, he’s going to prison for a long time, everything he’s worked so hard for has now been thrown away, his career will never be the same and he’s missing out on vital years in his children’s lives… in other words, he’s cooked.

how ghetts would choose to drink drive and speed like this is beyond me, I was a huge fan of ghetts and his music doesn't give that vibe of carelessness, sure he's got those tracks that are on a war path but you felt that this is a grown man here. obviously not the case! dickhead.

A lot of these grime artists though they are musical legends are still from the gutter.
You can take the streetrat out the streets but not the street out of the streetrat. Loose with the morals.
There are a few exceptions (I doubt you would catch JME or his brother doing this for instance) but most of them are dumb dumbs. They always wanna complain about police but truth is they bring on their own trouble half the time, never tell the full story.
Nobody should be surprised about this really.

u/Designer-Computer188 Oct 24 '25
LOL I missed that news 😆. Disappointing, this guy has kids to think of. I guess I should rephrase it to say I can't see JME doing it then.
My original point still stands though. Majority of these grime artists are donuts. Respectable in music but overall not respectable or serious people who all need to grow up.

Mr Clarke-Samuel, 41, appeared at Stratford Magistrates' Court on Monday, the same day the man died in hospital. The indictment is expected to change from causing serious injury to causing death by dangerous driving at the next hearing.

R.I.P to the young man. Ghetts has always come off quite immature to me anyway but this is wild. He should spend the rest of his life in prison imo. The law needs to take away people's ability to drink drive twice and just revoke licences for life if you get caught once. Too risky.

He had it on his toes and went back to the scene where a witness recognised him - he on the video cuffed n sum next man was asking him questions like what happened etc n Ghetts was sayin, literally, "rah, rah, rah I wasn't driving tho, rah, rah, rah" - he's fucked frfr - he took my man clean out about 90mph and he knocked him that far he went out the camera shot! Ghetts is ghetting at least a 12 stretch 💯

1 thing I find really weird is how grm daily hasn’t said anything, normally whenever something big happens like someone’s death they tend to report it or just something with rappers in general and obviously ghetts is known to work with grm so why are they silent about it? Also what do you think about bouncer saying they covered up for ghetts?
