French rapper Mhd was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty of a 2018 gang-related murder.
The “afro trap” rapper born Mohamed Sylla was one of nine men charged in the killing of 23-year-old man named Loic K. On July 5, 2018, a black Mercedes rammed Loic K, after which he was beaten up and stabbed by roughly a dozen men on the streets of Paris.
While Sylla denied he was at the scene of the assault, surveillance footage and a witness’ cellphone recording ultimately revealed that he was the owner of the black Mercedes.
