Jake Fahri, now 35, was convicted in 2009 for the murder of 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen, which he committed by throwing a glass oven dish at him during an altercation in a bakery.

After serving 14 years, Fahri was released on license in June 2023, but has since been recalled to prison for breaching his license conditions.

Fahri has rebranded himself as a drill rapper under the name 'Ten,' and his music has raised significant public concern due to its violent content.

His lyrics include graphic references to violence and death, with some lines seemingly alluding to Mizen's murder, which has sparked outrage among the public and the victim's family.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has expressed her disapproval of the BBC's decision to feature Fahri's music, stating it is insensitive to the Mizen family.

A spokesperson for the Probation Service emphasized their sympathy for Jimmy Mizen's family, highlighting their right to not see Fahri glorifying violence.

In light of these concerns, the Ministry of Justice has launched an urgent investigation into Fahri's activities and the content of his music.

The BBC has stated that while they do not promote violent content, Fahri's music was played on their platform, leading to public outcry and calls for accountability.

Critics, including Shadow Justice Minister Robert Jenrick, have condemned the BBC for promoting Fahri's music, arguing it could negatively influence young audiences.

In response to the backlash, Fahri has deleted all his social media accounts and has not made any public comments regarding the allegations against him.

Witnesses have reported seeing Fahri smiling after the attack on Mizen, which has added to the family's distress over his recent music career.

Margaret Mizen, Jimmy's mother, has been vocal about her disgust at Fahri's music, emphasizing the need for messages of hope and forgiveness rather than glorifying violence.
