Disgraceful rap lyrics glorifying the murder of Kelyan Bokassa have surfaced online, sparking outrage and concern.
London: It’s really heartbreaking to hear about Kelyan Bokassa, a 14-year-old boy who was tragically stabbed on a bus. He was just trying to get home when the attack happened on January 7. Sadly, he didn’t make it.
What’s even more disturbing is that some people have taken to social media to share rap lyrics that boast about his murder. Can you believe that? One line even talks about him being “caught lackin’” on the bus. It’s just sickening.
Kelyan was known as Grippa in the rap scene and had dreams of making it big. His mom, Mary, has shared how he was caught up with gangs and drugs, which is just so tragic. She said he was groomed by these gangs, and it breaks my heart to think about what he went through.
Before his death, Kelyan had posted a plea on Instagram asking for a knife, which shows how deep he was into this lifestyle. Just hours before he was killed, he was trying to reach out for help in a way that’s so sad.
Mary has been visiting the spot where her son was killed, and she’s seen all the tributes pouring in. While it’s nice to see people remembering him, she also knows he was a lost child. She said he used rap to express his anger and cope with everything he faced.
It’s a tough situation. Kelyan had a rough upbringing, losing his father and spending time in social care. He had been in trouble before, and it’s just a reminder of how important it is to support our youth and steer them away from violence.
Mary’s words really hit home. She talked about how the care system failed him and how he was just trying to find his way. It’s a tragic story that we need to pay attention to.
