DSavv has boasted again from an unknown location
While police will probably be frustrated at the video, hip-hop fans were less impressed.
One commented: ‘He would be the biggest legend in UK Rap history if he could rap well’.
On Wednesday, he posted a video with an article on Boakye’s escape from prison was displayed on a TV in the background while the young man rapped.
‘I just broke out of jail like Modie, f*** the government fam they’re phoneys,’ he said.
‘Prison break, s*** fam – f*** these police. On the roads, I’m a legend like Toby, but I can’t go wrong like Kobe.’
Boakye is understood to have links to London gang OFB – Original Farm Boys – based on the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham.
He is known for his lyrics boasting of committing knife crimes, in one rap he says: ‘Man plug that shank in his socket. You should’ve saw the way he ran, that muppet.
‘Still caught him and I chinged that muppet. Crime scene juice got spilled like bucket.’
When he was in prison he had lots of fans calling for his release.
Between June 2021 and January 2022, Boakye and three other teenagers participated in a spree of robberies and attempted robberies across London, Essex Live reports.
Armed with knives, they forced victims to hand over their mobile phones and provide passcodes to unlock them.
The group then transferred victims’ cryptocurrency into ‘hot wallets’, stealing more than £115,000 in total.
They also used stored bank details to buy top-up cards, pay for taxi fares and complete other fraudulent transactions.
The gang were only caught after detectives identified their home addresses from takeaway orders they paid for using stolen bank details.
A Met spokesperson said: ‘We are searching for a 21-year-old man who absconded from Lewisham hospital at around 15:05hrs on Sunday, 15 February.
