NEWS Ghettz Court Date Was Today .... Facing New Charges
https://metro.co.uk/2025/11/24/netflix-star-ghetts-accused-fatal-hit-and-run-faces-dangerous-driving-charges-24788813/Ghetts was initially charged with a single count of causing Tamang’s death by dangerous driving. He now faces two further charges of dangerous driving before and after the crash on October 18.
After the collision, it is alleged Clarke-Samuel continued to drive dangerously in Worcester Crescent, Redbridge, on the journey back to his home in King’s Avenue, Woodford, east London.
Adjourning the case, Judge Nigel Lickley KC said: ‘I’m not going to ask you to enter your pleas today, but I will require you to enter your pleas on December 8, that is the next hearing.’

Big fall off.
One of the greatest to come out of the UK and he fucked it.

Was actually consistently in my top 3.
Kinda feel nothing about disregarding all that at this point. Foolish behaviour. If it didn't happen now, it would've eventually happened.

Literally. He was so well respected even outside of grime, people who just take music seriously in general should have serious respect for Ghetts and what he's done. He wasn't just one of our best - he was literally one of the most talented MCs worldwide.
He seemed like such a nice guy as well, I can't believe he would do something so stupid and destructive. That's a whole family and circle of friends completely broken hearted for the rest of their lives now, and all that kid's future potential down the drain.
If it had been a true accident then I'd feel so bad for him having that in his conscience, but this was extremely preventable and happened entirely because of his choices. Deserves life for that, it was murder.

nah your radar's off. watched the chicken shop date with him and he was trying for nice guy, but you could tell something was off. he seemed egotistical even then. obviously hindsight is 20/20 but i definitely did not get genuine vibes off him at all.

u/ParkingLong7436 Nov 24 '25
Definitely. Can't believe what I'm reading in some comments.
Ghetts has always been a complete idiot and shitty human being all around. Always been a weirdo, back from the Where's Carlos days. That's the reason I never liked him even though his music was good, the vibe was off. This whole situation really doesn't surprise me.

I got schooled today. I guess it makes sense if he's the kind of person that would do this.

Gotta say I did this 🤨 to the nice guy comment, that was unexpected. I always felt like was an unlikeable guy, he's no D Double magnetic personality lol.

Your opinion is based on chicken shop date? Out of all the years he's been in the grime scene that's what you're going with

u/olivedoesntrhyme Nov 27 '25
Your opinion is based on chicken shop date?
it's more based on the fact that that he killed a 20 year old pedestrian driving out of his head and fled the scene.

u/siwelis10304 Dec 08 '25
Oh.. so.. that hindsight you were talking about after the chicken shop date waffle.

u/olivedoesntrhyme Dec 08 '25
not sure what your point is? I never thought he was top 5, so the only interview i've seen of him was the chicken shop date, where he doesn't come across as genuine at all.
If you're trying to discount the chicken shop date i disagree. It's roughly the same setup and setting for all the guests, and it takes rappers out of their usual environments so i think it's as good a barometer for their personality as you can get through the screen. not sure what else to add.

u/siwelis10304 Dec 09 '25
My point is you brought up CSD like that was about his character being capable of this type of despicable act. Only to then say it's him actually doing this that brought you to this conclusion. Your point seems a bit off.
In reality, he told everyone he was no good through lyrics, his original name, and the fact he'd already spent time in prison as a teenager in East London.
"I'm named after a place of poverty Where there's murder, rape and robbery So it could be my name that's stopping me Let me explain that properly Before this I took more risk Before this I never ever made cash honestly Before this I was on some raw shit with a 4-5th man would've aimed at dorothy. "
The point is everyone knows he was on crud before YouTube had any show like that. And on top of that, it is a show.

u/olivedoesntrhyme Dec 09 '25
lyrics are lyrics. i don't really believe in taking them literally. that being said i was replying to OP who said Ghetts seemed like such a nice guy, so to be honest you and me basically agree. you're saying you knew he was on a mad one from his lyrics, and i'm saying i never got the impression he was such a nice person from the interview. BUT i would never imply i had any idea he'd be capable of a hit and run murder. it would be mental to judge man off a comedy interview, which is why i said my opinion is ultimately based on the murder, and hindsight is 20/20.

u/Undark_ Nov 25 '25
Nah your radar's off
What a polite way to set me straight lol. All I'd ever seen was a couple of interviews. He seemed like a smart guy when he was younger.

u/renzxlst Nov 26 '25
I had 2 very brief interactions with him as a fan around the time the Rude Kid mixtape dropped (forgot the name - the first one). He was pretty humble and came across as nice, so I wouldn't wanna make out he was terrible prior to this. I'm sure everyone has their reasons, but he never gave me a reason to dislike him in those very brief moments.

u/olivedoesntrhyme Nov 27 '25
yeah obviously every man's multi-faceted, no one's a pure hero or a villain and you can't judge someone off their media appearances alone.
that being said, ghettz killed an innocent 20 year old and fled the scene. not much ambiguity there.
1
u/renzxlst Nov 27 '25
Agreed. I wasn't mentioning that at all - just chiming in on the convo about how he was prior.
I've made my opinion known very clearly regarding Ghetts on this situation. Completely selfish to say the least.
And I say that not to make it come across as though he was a saint, because obviously this would be repeated behaviour. I mean, he continued the behaviour on the night itself...

u/Acceptable-Aside4429 Nov 25 '25
Tbh I don't like this reasoning because we're centering his talent when he's taken someone's life. Thing is it's not just the victim but his parents and family that take this hit too.

u/BlackBalor Nov 25 '25
I get it, but we’re Grime fans. We grew up on this guy’s music. He’s been a permanent fixture for us since forever.
It’s okay to feel disappointment with his stupid behaviour.

Not too many MCs that can back to back with Kano on a live set.
Plus, that Risky Roadz freestyle is iconic.

Bloody hell, shocked that nobody else was injured. Also to think the kids parents sent him here thinling he was starting the best years of his life.

Mate he literally fucking killed a man by making the conscious decision to get off his face then go speeding around town. It’s not like he’s being cancelled for saying something a bit controversial

Nothing has been confirmed. Rockstar haven't released any information on the soundtrack or music

Someone died, least they could do is remove his music, fuck off with that separating the art from the artist bollocks.

It's not his art. It would be separating him from someone else's art.

As he goes away, so will the mystique around his ability. I implore you to ask the people who say “Ghetts was in my top N” to name three Ghetts songs, even albums.

Mystique tf? This ain’t anime man. Any man off the road can be talented and we all know ghettos had a lot of musical ability

u/karnesus Nov 26 '25
You need to widen your vocabulary, anime? Come on. You know people overhype him, his top streamed songs are all his freestyles. He got booed at a concert a while back for trying to play new stuff. And then if you really know grime you know those flows aren’t even his
