Deadline reports that Ghetts (Supacell, The Intent), whose legal name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, has been sentenced to twelve years in prison following a fatal hit-and-run collision in East London.

According to Deadline, Clarke-Samuel pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, a criminal offense under United Kingdom law involving reckless or dangerous operation of a motor vehicle resulting in a fatality. The conviction stems from a traffic incident that resulted in the death of twenty-year-old student Yubin Tamang. Prosecutors presented evidence outlining the circumstances of the collision and the defendant’s conduct leading up to the fatal crash.

Deadline reports that the court determined Clarke-Samuel had been driving dangerously before the collision and failed to stop at the scene after striking the victim. The offense carries significant custodial penalties under UK criminal statutes, particularly when the conduct results in a loss of life. Following the guilty plea, the case proceeded directly to sentencing, where the presiding judge imposed a twelve-year prison term.

During sentencing proceedings, the court also heard statements addressing the impact of the crime on the victim’s family. Deadline notes that victim impact statements are a formal component of the judicial process, allowing relatives and affected parties to address the court before the sentence is finalized.

Clarke-Samuel is widely recognized in the United Kingdom as both a rapper and actor, with one of his most prominent screen appearances being in Netflix’s superhero drama Supacell, created by Rapman (Blue Story, Shiro’s Story). The series follows five South London residents who develop superhuman abilities and become targets of a clandestine organization seeking to control them.

mxdwn has previously covered Supacell’s success following its debut on Netflix. Earlier reporting detailed the platform’s decision to renew the series for a second season after the show gained global popularity and remained on the platform’s international top-ten rankings for multiple weeks. That coverage highlighted how Rapman’s superhero drama resonated with audiences through its blend of genre storytelling and contemporary social themes.

The sentencing marks the conclusion of the criminal proceedings surrounding the fatal collision. As Deadline reports, the court’s ruling underscores the severe legal consequences associated with dangerous driving offenses that result in loss of life.
