British rapper and actor Justin Clarke-Samuel, professionally known as Ghetts, has admitted responsibility for a fatal hit-and-run collision that claimed the life of a young man in Ilford, north-east London.

The incident occurred on October 18, when Ghetts was reported to be driving at speeds exceeding 60mph in a 30mph zone. The collision struck Mr. Tamang, a young Nepali student and reportedly the only child of his parents, as he was crossing the road. Ghetts did not stop at the scene.

He has now pleaded guilty to killing Mr. Tamang by dangerous driving. Court proceedings have set his sentencing for February 12, 2026.

The case has drawn attention due to Ghetts’ public profile as a prominent figure in the UK music and entertainment industry and underscores ongoing concerns about road safety in urban areas.
