| [TheSun] GRIME artist Krept has said "I'll be back in no time" after he was slashed at a BBC Radio 1Xtra event in Birmingham last night. The musician, 29, is part of London-based group Krept & Konan - who have spoken in defence of drill music. Around 9,000 fans were booted out of the Birmingham Arena halfway through the event. Rap stars from Aitch to French Montana were billed to perform before the knife attack close to the city centre. Police confirmed that somebody suffered a slash wound in the backstage area of the West Midlands event. It is understood that Krept was the victim of the assault. 1Xtra Live was billed as an "unmissable night" with a "mix of emerging and established artists". Tickets had sold out - the Arena Birmingham has a capacity of 15,800. |
