SafOne Finally Sentenced In Birmingham F•rearm Incident #streetnews

Saphan Robinson was captured on CCTV as he jumped out of a Mercedes before waving the weapon at a car which was driving by on Jiggins Lane in Bartley Green. The weapon has never been recovered, and it was not clear who it was being pointed at or why. The passenger in the Mercedes was never identified. Robinson from Quinton, went on to admit possession of an imitation firearm, and was jailed for three years and two months at Birmingham Crown Court today (14 May). DC Beth Weir said: “We may never know exactly why Robinson was brandishing this weapon in public. “We’re committed to tackling gun crime, which causes real harm to communities and misery to families." This is one of several problems in his career, back in 2018 SafOne, was due to perform at Birmingham’s O2 Academy. With 600 tickets sold, things were going well. But on May 12, a month before the concert was to take place, SafOne was shot. Four days later his show — scheduled for June 15 — was abruptly cancelled. His injury, a bullet wound to the thigh, wasn’t life-threatening and he was released from hospital soon after the attack. It was the second time he had been shot in the space of a year and there have been no arrests, West Midlands police said. The rapper, who has appeared on BBC Radio 1, said he took the knock-back and turned it into an opportunity to host the first ever pay-per-view concert in the UK. https://www.buzzfeed.com/ikrd/rapper-...
