BBC-promoted drill rapper who killed Jimmy Mizen recalled to prison after ‘shamelessly boasting’ about murder

A balaclava-clad drill rapper promoted by the BBC who was exposed as a convicted murderer has been recalled to prison.

Jake Fahri, 35, who performs under the name “Ten”, had served 14 years in jail for the murder of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen.

He has now been recalled to prison for breaching his licence conditions, the Probation Service has said.

Fahri, who boasted about murder in his songs, was spotted in a music video by The Sun newspaper on Greenwich Peninsula in east London – with Canary Wharf visible in the background.

The video in question, titled “Dirty Game,” shows Fahri rapping alongside luxury vehicles and other masked men at Blackwall Point Draw Dock – within his lifetime exclusion zone.

The newspaper then took the video to the Ministry of Justice – and after a swift investigation, the 35-year-old killer is back behind bars.

“Our thoughts are with Jimmy Mizen’s family who deserve better than to see their son’s murderer shamelessly boasting about his violent crime,” a Probation Service spokesman said.

“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,” they added.

Fahri had rapped lyrics including: “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,” referring to violent knife crime.

Further words from the convicted murderer include: “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.”

His music has been played on BBC Radio 1Xtra – where DJ Theo Johnson said he “really stands out”.

The licence fee-funded DJ told listeners: “You see Ten, yeah, he delivers the bars in a certain way that makes him really stand out to me.

“I’m really liking what I’m hearing, when I’m hearing what he’s laying down at the moment… And I know my producer KC is a big fan as well, and she’s been singing his praises, and proper rocking with his tunes!”

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 glamourise violence.”

Jimmy Mizen had been attacked by Fahri at a bakery in Lee, southeast London in 2008.

The thug, then 19, had started an argument before hurling a Pyrex dish at the 16-year-old, severing an artery and killing him.

Fahri then fled the shop – and was described by a witness as “walking with a swagger”.

He pleaded not guilty to murder.
