Drill Rapper DSAVV Escapes Custody Twice and Mocks Police in Provocative Music Video
A drill rapper and convicted robber, who managed to escape from police custody twice within a single week, has reportedly taunted authorities by releasing a new music video that boasts about his jailbreak. Daniel Boakye, a 21-year-old who performs under the rap name DSAVV, initially fled from University Hospital Lewisham in London on Sunday afternoon, February 15, 2026, while receiving medical treatment under police supervision.
Video Mockery and Police Response
In a social media video posted on Monday evening, a young man alleged to be Boakye is heard rapping about his escape, with a news article about his prison break displayed on a television in the background. The lyrics include lines such as, "I just broke out of jail like Modie, f*** the government fam they're phoneys" and "Prison break, s*** fam – f*** these police." A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed that officers chased Boakye after his escape at approximately 3:05 PM but were unable to detain him before he exited the hospital building.
Background and Previous Incidents
Boakye had been detained just days earlier following a previous abscondment before escaping again on Sunday. He is described as a black man of medium height and slim build, last seen wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a dark Nike jacket. Court records reveal that Boakye was jailed in July 2023 for a series of knifepoint robberies across London, where victims were threatened and forced to hand over phones and passcodes so money could be stolen from their accounts.
Ongoing Investigation and Public Safety
The Met Police have stated that they are actively searching for Boakye and are reviewing the incident to understand the circumstances of his escape. The Directorate of Professional Standards has been notified. This case highlights ongoing challenges in managing high-risk detainees and the intersection of crime with social media culture in urban settings.
