Drill rapper promoted by BBC who murdered schoolboy Jimmy Mizen is ARRESTED & back behind bars after breaching parole
A DRILL rapper who murdered schoolboy Jimmy Mizen is back behind bars after breaching his parole.
Jake Fahri, 35, also known as masked drill artist TEN, was arrested and recalled by police yesterday.
It is likely to be due to his lack of remorse, the nature of his lyrics and going to an area he had been banned from as part of his parole conditions.
It comes after The Sun passed a dossier of evidence to the Ministry of Justice after our exclusive unmasking of him yesterday as a rapper promoted on BBC shows.
A Probation Service spokesperson told The Sun: “Our thoughts are with Jimmy Mizen’s family who deserve better than to see their son’s murderer shamelessly boasting about his violent crime.
“All offenders released on licence are subject to strict conditions. As this case shows, we will recall them to prison if they break the rules.”
Fahri had been given a life sentence in 2009 with a minimum term of 14 years for the killing of Jimmy, 16, after throwing an oven dish at him.
The glass dish shattered and severed blood vessels in Jimmy’s neck in a south London bakery on May 10, 2008.
Jimmy’s mum Margaret Mizen had said on January 16 that she believes one of the rapper’s videos violated his parole.
Peace campaigner Margaret, 72, said: “He is not allowed in certain boroughs. Greenwich is one of them.”
Asked if 35-year-old Fahri should be recalled to prison, she added: “He will have to. Otherwise the licence will be a laughing stock.
“If he has breached it then yes, he needs to go back to prison and really think about his life.”
In the video for Fahri’s song Dirty Game, he raps next to several luxury cars at Blackwall Point Draw Dock near the O2 Arena.
The spot is said to be inside the Greenwich and Bromley lifetime exclusion zone imposed on him following his release.
The zone was enforced to stop Fahri from passing through the part of South East London where he killed Jimmy.
He had been released on licence from prison in June 2023 but was recently at the centre of a controversy after BBC 1Xtra played his music less than 18 months later.
In one of TEN’s tracks, the balaclava-clad rapper appears to reference Jimmy’s death, and the rapper featured during an episode of BBC Introducing on 1Xtra with Theo Johnson: Jorday Steps Up! on November 17, 2024.
Mum Margaret had criticised the BBC for playing the music of her son’s killer, describing the lyrics as “horrendous”.
She said: “I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with the BBC for
playing any of his music on the radio station.
“I’ll be wanting answers about that as well because I think it doesn’t matter if if it wasn’t the two songs that are the worst.
“It’s the fact they played some. You know, when you’re playing the songs of a murderer. It’s pretty bad isn’t it?”
The BBC has now vowed to stop playing music by the rapper.
YouTube told The Sun on January 15 that it had launched a review of TEN’s music on its platform.
Fahri, often seen in a balaclava, raps on one song: “Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s.
“Sharpen up my blade I’ve got to keep those necessary. Stay alert and kept it ready, any corner could be deadly.
“Judge took a look at me, before the trial even started he already knows he’s gonna throw the book at me.”
In another he boasts: “See a man’s soul fly from his eyes and his breath gone.
“S***, I wanted more, it made it less wrong. Seeing blood spilled same floor he was left on.”
HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) had previously confirmed it was investigating the content as a priority.
In response to the initial report, the BBC had said: “Decisions on music are made case by case.
“We have strict editorial guidelines in place before any content is broadcast or posted.
“BBC 1Xtra does not glamorise violence.”
Fahri did not respond to any comment requests and has deleted his social media profiles.
Millwall fan and former altar boy Jimmy was attacked at a bakery in Lee, South East London by Fahri who had gone in and started an argument.
The wannabe gangster, then 19, hurled a Pyrex dish at Jimmy, severing an artery and killing him.
Fahri ran out of the shop and was described by a witness as “walking with a swagger”.
He pleaded not guilty to murder.
But the jury saw through his lies and the wannabe rapper, who went by the street name Dirty Detz and idolised US hip-hop stars, was found guilty at the Old Bailey in March 2009.
He was sentenced to life with a minimum of 14 years.
