Perspective
At the age of 13, Tokosi was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was released in 2018 after serving 4 years.[13][14]
In February 2024, Tokosi was arrested and charged with attempted murder, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life/enable an other to do so, and possession of three 9mm Parabellum calibre bullets for a firearm in relation to a shooting that had occurred in Notting Hill in November 2023.[1] The shooting resulted in Daniel Offei-Ntow being shot six times in his head, mouth and body. He was convicted of possessing a firearm and possessing ammunition, both with intent to endanger life, as well as possessing a prohibited weapon and possession of ammunition without a firearms certificate in March 2025.[15]
On November 2025, Nathan Tokosi – better known as rapper DigDat – was found not guilty of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life at the Old Bailey Crown Court. However he was found guilty of simple possession of a firearm (and ammunition). This is related to an incident where a gun was thrown out of a window by a passenger in a BMW DigDat was driving through Deptford, South-East London. This comes after the ‘Air Force’ star was found guilty of attempted murder of another man who goes by the name Lugavellz. Due to legal reasons DigDat is able to appeal his attempted murder conviction and could become a free man if he is successful.[16]
