DigDat Jailed for 24 Years Over Attempted Murder of LuGavellz

UK drill rapper DigDat has been sentenced to 24 years in prison after being convicted of the attempted murder of fellow rapper LuGavellz, in a case that has sent shockwaves through the music industry and wider community.

The court heard that the attack was deliberate and planned, posing a serious risk to life and highlighting the growing problem of violent rivalries spilling out of the streets and into public life. Prosecutors argued that the actions demonstrated extreme disregard for human life, leaving the victim lucky to survive.

During sentencing, the judge described the offence as exceptionally serious, stressing that the length of the sentence reflected both the severity of the crime and the need to protect the public. The court also pointed to the wider impact of such violence, particularly on young people who may view artists as role models.

LuGavellz survived the attack, but the case has reignited debate around violence within the UK drill scene, with critics arguing that ongoing feuds, social media provocation, and the glamorisation of aggression continue to fuel real-world harm.

DigDat, once seen as one of the most promising talents in UK drill, now faces spending a significant portion of his life behind bars. The case stands as a stark reminder that success and fame do not place anyone above the law, and that violent actions carry life-changing consequences for all involved.
