Loski convicted of possessing a loaded revolver

Back in April 2019 Loski was charged with possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and other related charges after being found with a loaded revolver in the back of an Uber, and today (4 January) it's been revealed that a jury has found the rapper guilty of possessing a prohibited firearm, possessing a firearm when prohibited for five years and possessing ammunition for a firearm when prohibited for five years.

O'Connor denied the charges back in 2019, claiming he was forced to hold on to the gun after a drug dealer made threats against his and his mother’s lives, but his fingerprint was found on a reversible latex glove that had gunshot residue inside.

Detective Constable Snazell said, "This has been a trying and challenging case with many twists and turns, but I'm pleased the jury found O'Connor guilty of his crimes and I'd like to thank them for seeing through his lies and excuses.

"I have no doubt that O'Connor, or his gang associates, would have used this revolver in the future and by finding and destroying it we have taken a lethal weapon off the streets and potentially saved a life.

"As part of the trial the jury heard how fascinated O'Connor was by guns and gang lifestyle and on his phone he had been running numerous Google searches for firearms and ammunition in the months prior to his arrest.

"O'Connor was an influential individual and had many followers on social media. No amount of fortune or fame justifies his serious criminal actions and I'm confident this will be reflected in the sentence that will be handed down by the Judge."

On Christmas Day Mixtape Madness shared a new Mad About Bars video with Loski and Kenny Allstar. The rapper has previously collaborated with Fredo, Popcaan, Stormzy, Akala, Mike Skinner, Emeli Sandé and more.
