The influential London grime collective Boy Better Know counts a number of big names among its ranks, including Skepta, Wiley and even Drake. They'll likely attempt to distance themselves from one of the group's lesser members, however, as Solo 45 has just been charged with 29 counts of rape.

As the BBC reports, the rapper born Andy Anokye had previously been charged with two counts of rape, one count of false imprisonment and one count of causing bodily harm. Since then, three more people made allegations that resulted in another 27 charges of rape.

Anokye had previously plead not guilty to the first set of charges. He'll stand trial on April 16, 2018.
