French rapper MHD gets 12 years in jail for murder

​ ​French rapper MHD has been given a 12-year jail term for the murder of a young man in Paris in 2018. ...but do you know who is MHD ?....Mohamed Sylla (French pronunciation: [sila]; born 10 September 1994), better known by his stage name MHD, is a French rapper from Paris, who is known for blending trap music with music of West Africa; a genre he coined as "Afro Trap".He was previously part of the rap collective 1.9 Réseaux. Born in Vendée to a family of West African extraction, MHD began his career as a rapper in Paris at the age of 18. He found success in the mid-2010s through material he published on social media (notably music videos on YouTube) and in 2016 released his debut album MHD, which sold more than 200,000 copies in 6 months.He later received international recognition, and toured in Guinea[citation needed], England, Senegal and Morocco.His second album, titled 19, was released in September 2018 ......now the question what made an young successeful artist go to jail for murder ?....in January 2019, his name was cited in an investigation into a murder case, dating back to July 2018, when a 23-year-old man was beaten to death in the streets of Paris during what has been reported as a fight between rival street gangs. Through images collected by surveillance cameras, French police found that assailants came to the crime scene using a car whose owner was identified as MHD; they later named MHD as a suspect himself. MHD was put on custody on 15 January 2019; two days later, he was indicted and charged with second-degree murder.[20][21] Speaking through his lawyer, MHD denied any involvement in the crime, while his lawyer cited his "lack of a judicial record" and affirmed he has "never been involved in fights between street gangs", adding that she would appeal MHD being put on custody.[8][21] Following his arrest, some of his scheduled concerts were postponed indefinitely, while several fellow rappers, including Naza and Black M, voiced their support for MHD.... "From the beginning, I have maintained my innocence in this case and I will continue to maintain my innocence," he told the packed court in Paris, AFP news agency reports. He denied being at the scene of the murder, arguing that the case against him was based on rumours. However, a local resident filmed the incident in the summer of 2018 from his window, and the car was quickly identified as belonging to MHD. Other witnesses identified him by his haircut and a jumper, AFP reports. Five of MHD's co-defendants were also given prison terms ranging between 10 and 18 years. Another three were acquitted. It was not immediately known if those sentenced to jail were planning to appeal. MHD, who has a huge following on social media, was working as a pizza delivery boy in Paris before turning to music professionally......hummmm!,,,that is it now you know the man ,,,,what do you think....please let me know !
