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.”
