British rapper Ghetts is confronting additional serious charges after allegedly causing a fatal collision in London, with prosecutors adding two further counts of dangerous driving to the existing charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
Expanded Charges Following Fatal Incident
The musician, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, initially faced a single charge of causing the death of 20-year-old Yubin Tamang by dangerous driving. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the collision occurred on Redbridge Lane in Ilford at 11:33pm on 18 October.
Prosecutors have now added two further allegations of dangerous driving relating to events both before and after the fatal incident. It's alleged Clarke-Samuel drove dangerously in Tavistock Place in Bloomsbury and on other roads in the borough of Camden prior to the collision.
Court Appearance and Family Impact
During a hearing at the Old Bailey on Monday 24 November 2025, Clarke-Samuel appeared by videolink from Pentonville prison, where he has been held since his initial appearance at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on 27 October.
The court proceedings were attended by Mr Tamang's family, who had travelled from Nepal to be present. Judge Nigel Lickley KC further remanded the defendant in custody, indicating he could appear by videolink again for his next hearing.
Allegations of Failure to Stop and Subsequent Driving
The prosecution alleges that Clarke-Samuel failed to stop after his BMW struck Mr Tamang, who subsequently died on 20 October. Following the collision, the rapper is accused of continuing to drive dangerously in Worcester Crescent, Redbridge, during his journey back to his home in King's Avenue, Woodford, east London.
The vehicle involved, a black BMW allegedly registered and insured in the defendant's name, was said to have sustained significant damage in the incident.
