He failed to appear in court six months ago to be charged with assault.
Police in Newham have declared the rapper Wiley (real name Richard Cowie) six months after he failed to appear in court. He was to be charged with assaulting former world kickboxing champion Ali Jaco.
The rapper was also charged with trespassing into Ali's apartment and theft. The court set a final hearing for Nov. 11, 2021, but Wiley, 43, failed to show up for it and began fleeing justice.
Police posted a wanted notice on Twitter asking for help in locating him.
