Rapper releases new song about being found not guilty of 'revenge' shooting

A rapper who was found not guilty of being involved in an alleged 'revenge' shooting has released a new song about the case. Olu Tunde Finni, known by the stage name Tunde, has posted a new track named 'Not Guilty Freestyle', after he was cleared following a three month crown court trial.

At the start of the music video, text appears which states: "After nearly three years of remand and bail + 10 weeks on trial the truth has come to light..." Mr Finni, 28, can then be seen leaving Manchester Crown Court, where he stood trial, and embracing friends.

The video has been watched more than 260,000 times on YouTube so far. Finni spent months on remand in prison ahead of a trial which began last autumn, but collapsed.

The Manchester rapper was released on bail ahead of a second trial which began in June and ended last month with not guilty verdicts. Prosecutors had alleged that he was involved in arranging a shooting in 'revenge', after his ex-girlfriend's car had been damaged. Jurors at the trial heard that a gunman opened fire at a house in Burnage on September 27, 2020.

The court heard the shooting was a case of 'mistaken identity'. No-one was hurt, after a bullet was fired into a window at head height.

Prosecutors were unable to say who the man firing the gun was, but they claimed Mr Finni was involved in arranging the shooting.

Mr Finni's DNA was found on a bullet casing and a live round discovered at the scene by police. In the aftermath of the shooting some of Mr Finni's family had 'moved away from their homes'. Prosecutors claimed it showed that Mr Finni was 'afraid' that the incident 'would become a tit-for-tat'.
