Rapper jailed for life for drive-by shooting in Notting Hill
Nathan Tokosi, aka DigDat, sentenced to life with a minimum of 24 years for a targeted drive-by shooting that injured rival artist Daniel Offei-Ntow, prosecutors said.
- On Tuesday, Nathan Tokosi, also known as DigDat, of Deptford, south-east London, was jailed for life with a minimum of 24 years after convictions for attempted murder and firearms offences.
- Prosecutors say at least two people in a stolen Audi pulled up beside Daniel Offei‑Ntow in Notting Hill, west London, and fired six shots early on November 20, 2023, though his death was unconnected.
- DNA and vehicle movements linked Nathan Tokosi to Notting Hill that weekend, as investigators found his DNA in the Audi and he borrowed a BMW for two trips from his father's home in Deptford.
- Judge Sarah Munro KC said Tokosi was a dangerous offender, and the Crown Prosecution Service said the sentence may offer closure after Daniel Offei-Ntow needed life-saving surgery.
- The court heard Tokosi had eight previous convictions for 13 offences, including an age 13 stabbing and seven years' youth detention, while defence barrister Shannon Revel cited his ADHD diagnosis and `laidback` nature amid a fast-paced music career.
