A NETFLIX star and British rapper has been charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving after a fatal crash.
Justin Clarke-Samuel, who stars in Netflix series Supacell, allegedly failed to stop after hitting a 20-year-old man in Ilford, east London, on October 18.
The 41-year-old, who goes by the name Ghetts, appeared at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Monday, the same day the man died in hospital.
The indictment could change from causing serious injury to causing death by dangerous driving at the next hearing.
The rapper, from Woodford Green, was remanded into custody and is due to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Monday, October 27.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward.
The rapper has featured alongside Skepta, Stormzy and Ed Sheeran, racking up millions of hits on Spotify.
In 2024 he performed at Glastonbury. In 2008, Ghetts was nominated for a BET Award for Best International Act: UK along with Chipmunk, Giggs, and Skepta.
His music has since been played on national radio stations including BBC Radio 1, Kiss 100 and BBC Radio1Extra.
Clarke-Samuel has toured internationally with Top Bar star and fellow rapper Kano, and was a member of East London British grime group Nasty Crew.
