Rap jibe revenge killer jailed

A TEENAGE rapper was jailed for four and a half years yesterday for killing a rival said to have insulted him in a song.

The 18-year-old hit Iyke Nmezu in the face with a lump of concrete.

It came after a rap was posted on the internet which the killer believed called him a “pussy”.

Iyke, 16, died of a brain abscess two weeks after the attack in Ponders End, North London.

He would still be alive had doctors at two hospitals not sent him home without a brain scan, the Old Bailey heard.

The killer, who cannot be named, admitted manslaughter. His brother, 20, was jailed for two years for giving a false alibi
