A rapper who told a drive-by gunman to shoot a finance student has been jailed – after he aimed a threat at the judge on Instagram. Bailey McKenzie has been jailed for 33 years after he was convicted of conspiracy to murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. Sentencing McKenzie, a drill rapper also known as Billy Billions, Judge Philip Katz was made aware of the threat the yob was somehow able to post on social media while await sentencing behind bars. He named Judge Katz and prosecutor Alexandra Healy in the post, complaining his trial had been unfair and telling them “this ain’t over.” The judge dubbed the content “self-obsessed, self-pitying, self-serving rubbish” as he last week sentenced the yob to over three decades in prison , reports the Mirror . Although McKenzie, 28, was not in the car, he played a key role in plotting the attack in Hackney, east London, on December 14, 2020. When he was arrested, he blamed police for framing him and, upon his conviction, claimed he had a racist jury. Sitting at the Old Bailey, Judge Katz said: “Depressing as it is, it comes as no surprise to me that you were able to post that (the threat) from prison. Why you did so is beyond me. I am named in it so you obviously intended me to see it. It informs me as to you attitude and the level of danger you pose to the public. In my judgement you are a dangerous offender.” Cutting-edge digital forensic technology has connected McKenzie, who has no fixed address, to the shooting that left five blameless men wounded after they became embroiled in gang feuding that had absolutely nothing to do with them. Among the victims, 25-year-old Khalid Mohammed was struck in the head and sustained devastating brain injuries. The student had been seated in a rented Mercedes with five mates who were preparing to head out for birthday celebrations when the drive-by gunmen drew up alongside in a Vauxhall Zafira. Half a dozen rounds were blasted into the vehicle, with Mr Mohammed taking two bullets. The judge continued: “They were all entirely responsible young men who had nothing to do with gangs or criminality of any sort… But this appalling incident did not happen out of the blue. It was one more episode of the gang warfare on the streets of north London, which has been raging for a long time.” Addressing McKenzie directly, he stated: “You are obviously highly intelligent with a quick mind and an eye for detail. As clever criminals do, you wove truth and lies together with consummate skill.” The court was told the gunfire stemmed from bitter rivalry between Holly Street Gang members and McKenzie’s London Fields crew. Prior to the attack, the Holly Street Gang had posted drill videos online demanding ‘homicides’. Three other blokes have already been banged up for the shooting. Reuel Briscoe, 32, was previously sentenced to life with a minimum of 18 years for conspiracy to murder. The shooter, Dalvane Greenaway, 24, received a 28-year sentence and Julian Kalala, 26, who was in the car, got 30 years. McKenzie, with previous convictions for weapons and affray, is currently serving a 13-year sentence for a firearms offence. McKenzie made a post on his Billy Billions Instagram account just six days ago. The brute uploaded one of his songs on the post and tagged his location as “HMP Prison Belmarsh”. He claimed that drill lyrics were being presented to juries as evidence of a violent character ‘playing on racist stereotypes’.
