Daniel Boakye, aka rapper DSAVV, pulled off a daring escape from custody at University Hospital Lewisham around 3pm on Sunday, February 15. Officers chased him but failed to catch him before he vanished from the building.

Boakye wasn’t new to fleeing the law. He had already absconded days earlier and was arrested again at a Thamesmead address last week—only to slip away once more on Sunday.

Defiant Rap Video Surfaces Amid Manhunt

A fiery new video posted on social media shows DSAVV rapping over a recent news article about his escape. He mocks the authorities with lines like, “I just broke out of jail like Modie, f**k the government fam they’re phoneys.” Another verse boasts:

“Prison break, s**t fam f**k these police. On the roads I’m a legend like Toby, but I can’t go wrong like Kobe.”

Fans are stunned, calling him the “first UK rapper to escape and drop a track while on the run.”
