Digga D, one of the UK's most prominent drill artists, has admitted to two drugs charges after a police raid interrupted his online performance. The 23-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rhys Herbert, appeared at Lincoln Crown Court via video link from HMP Wormwood Scrubs, where he is currently remanded in custody.

Digga, who hails from Lonsdale Road, Notting Hill, pleaded guilty to charges of the supply and importation of cannabis. He was arrested near Lincoln in the early hours of 21 February while broadcasting live on Instagram.

‍

During the court hearing on Tuesday, the prosecution did not accept the basis of his pleas, prompting Judge Simon Hirst to adjourn the case until 8 July to determine if there will be a trial of issue.

Digga had admitted to a charge of smuggling cannabis on 11 July 2023, as well as supplying cannabis between 26 October 2022 and 21 February 2024.

Digga D is a leading figure in the UK drill music scene, with his tracks amassing millions of views online. Despite his legal troubles, his influence and popularity within the genre remain significant.

Whilst in jail, he has been the subject of many online discussions, including being dissed by fellow west london rapper Central Cee, with fans hoping on his release sometime soon so they can hear a reply!
