Jimmy Mizen’s killer has posted new rapping content despite being recalled to prison, as social media giants have been urged to ban him.

The murderer has been seen rapping from the front seat of luxury cars in clips uploaded to TikTok by his friends, under the handle TEN.

Jake Fahri, 35, served 14 years in jail for the murder of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen in 2008.

Fahri threw a glass dish at Jimmy which shattered and severed blood vessels in the 16-year-old boy’s neck in a south-London bakery.

He was recalled to prison for breaching his licence conditions last month after appearing to glorify the murder in drill rap, the Probation Service said.

His TikTok account has had at least six posts since he was recalled to prison for at least a year, the Sun reported, sparking fears he is still trying to build a music career from behind bars.

Jimmy’s mother Margaret Mizen, 72, has called for the murderer’s internet presence to be wiped for good.

She told The Sun: “It feels a bit like he and his friends are taunting us with this.”

Mrs Mizen was awarded an MBE in 2013 for her work with husband helping young people fleeing violence.

The Sun previously reported that Fahri’s tracks have been showcased on BBC Radio 1Xtra with DJ Theo Johnson saying the artist “really stands out”.

The BBC previously said nobody at the station knew of TEN’s true identity.

The broadcaster said in an updated statement: “This individual does not feature on any BBC playlists.

“We have never played - as we pointed out to the Sun - the lyrics they have printed.

“He’s had two other tracks played twice. 1Xtra has no further plans to play his music, we were not aware of his background and we in no way condone his actions.”
