In August 2017, the famous rapper from Västerort was surrounded by three men who subjected him to degrading abuse. The film shows, among other things, how the rapper is urinated on. After filming the event, the video was published on social media and received a lot of attention.

In April 2019, two of the men were charged with grossly unlawful coercion. They both belong to a group of criminals called the Death Patrol and who are believed to be behind several gang murders in recent years. The third suspected perpetrator of the film could not be identified.

The defendant belongs to the criminal gang

The reason for the incident should be that the rapper, who belongs to the criminal group Shottaz, earlier released a song about the two rival groups around the Järva field in Stockholm. In the clip, one of the suspects says he should "show what they do with studio bandits".

One of the defendants is currently in custody in Denmark on suspicion of involvement in a double murder last summer. The other deserves a longer prison sentence for extremely serious drug offenses.

Prolonged conflict in Rinkeby

The two criminal gangs have been in conflict with each other for several years. The young men grew up in the same area, mainly Rinkeby, went to school together and were friends. But the friends split into two camps after a robbery of a exchange office in Täby in July 2015.

The reason was that one of the robbers had carried out the coup with the wrong guys from the area instead of those who were his friends. Seven deaths are linked to the conflict between the two networks. Only one of the murders has been cleared up.
