Rapper DigDat Jailed For Life Over Drive-By Shooting After Releasing Song Bragging About Firing Gun

Imagine having over 250,000,000 streams on Spotify and YouTube and being heralded as a ‘massive talent’ by British media (including the BBC), only to throw it all away by shooting someone over some random nonsense? Welcome to the life of UK drill rapper DigDat AKA Nathan Tokosi.

DigDat, 25, shot Daniel Offei-Ntow, 27, six times in the head, mouth and body as he sat in his car in Notting Hill on November 20, 2023.

Weeks later, the rapper released the song “Pink Notes” in which he brags: “This M10 got a string attached, fully auto, flick it back.”

This week, DigDat, of Deptford, south-east London, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 24 years having been convicted of attempted murder and firearms offences.

He did get this mug-shot for his rap CV though – so it’s not all bad news:

It turns out that DigDat had already been jailed in 2013 at the age of 13 for stabbing a man multiple times in an attack in Lewisham, south-east London. He was sentenced to 10 years in a young offenders’ institution but was released early in 2018. So it’s safe to say that absolutely no lessons were learned from that experience, because even with an exciting music career ahead of him, this donut still managed to involve himself the same shenanigans and is now heading right back to prison where he started.

Aside from that, he had eight previous convictions for 13 offences, including violence dating back to the age of 11 when he punched a girl in the face and punched and kneed a boy in the head in separate incidents four months apart.

For this latest drive-by shooting, DigDat’s DNA was found on the headrest of a rear seat in the Audi that was used to track the victim. The whole thing was also captured on CCTV.

Amazingly, the victim who was shot six times survived, but also remained uncooperative throughout the investigation. So it’s a good thing there was enough evidence on its own to put DigDat away.

Reckon he’ll get another early release? I doubt it, this time.
