Rapper Films a Brutal Terrorist Attack, Then Uses Media Attention To Promote His Mixtape

A rapper named Big Tobz filmed a stabbing the other day in East London, and police are treating the stabbing as a terrorist incident since the guy yelled “THIS IS FOR SYRIA” during the attack.

It worked, and Big Tobz is getting a lot of attention for his music, but not in a good way. He’s forever going to be known as “that subway stabbing rapper…”
