After the case against Imafidon collapsed, he decided to move his life in a new direction, beginning with The Kenny Report, which he delivered to the House of Commons, detailing the experiences of marginalised young people who drift into gangs.
Outside court as the four teenage boys emerged triumphant in January 2002, they were met by the Preddie brothers. While the gang returned to their hunting ground, echoes of the failed Stephen Lawrence inquiry were resonating loudly within the corridors of Scotland Yard. a b "Gang members get life terms for East Dulwich bus murder".

In the latter half of the 2010s, a new group known as 814 which combines the SE8 and SE14 was a part of Shower/Ghetto Boys. The group is in a big rivalry with Splash Gang (SG), a Grove Park estate based gang. 814 has swiftly stated its name and reputation in the UK drill music scene.The Deptford and New Cross area, like many of the most infamous street gang areas, was home to traditional organised crime firms preceding the Ghetto Boys. Local families such as the French’s in Deptford, Smiths in Lewisham and the Hennessey’s worked the area as professional burglars and armed robbers. The French’s owned the Deptford Arms whilst Peter and Bernard Hennessey ran the nearby Dog and Bell. These families weren’t as well known in the public eye as other south London firms such as the Richardson’s and Arif’s but nonetheless they were equally as involved in using the cash earned from robbery and burglary as revenue for funding drug-smuggling ventures. In areas such as the Milton Court estate the youths and gangs are the final end distribution line of the market for the drugs in Lewisham. In early 2005, SN1 member Giggler - now shortened to Giggs - was released from Brixton Prison after serving a couple years for firearm possession. He had dabbled in music in the past, but his jailtime made him determined to take music seriously. Not long afterwards, SN1 released their first project: the 'Bloody Raw' mixtape.
I thought it must be a south London trend, but after talking to my son and discovering that youths in north-west London's (aka North Wheezy) Stonebridge Estate have beef with those from Neasden, I was horrified to discover this is not just a London thing but nationwide. White and Asian boys are 'repping their ends too' - in fact, many gangs are mixed. Meanwhile the Preddies had continued their activities. Danny was sentenced to three years for robbing passengers on a train at knifepoint, his brother was arrested for several violent crimes. But in January 2005 they were arrested for the killing and yesterday convicted of Damilola's fatal stabbing. PYG members looked up to SI, and both sets looked up to the SN1 bosses. From 2007 onwards, SI and PYG started to become very active in music. Cox, Joseph (3 April 2014). "UK Gang Members Love Social Media, Too". Vice. Archived from the original on 4 August 2019 .

In late 2008, the younger generation of PYG members started releasing music videos. The young members included Tiny Snap, Young Size, M1, Stigs, CS and others. Most of the bars at this time were disses towards Brixton's OC (now 410) and GAS (now 150/GBG): Leah is joined by Tskenya Frazer, an award-winning Forbes featured business leader and diversity, branding and sustainability specialist to speak about her new book. The streets are clean, there's no graffiti on the walls and the houses are well maintained.

Fans voted for the winner and Giggs won, becoming the first ever artist to win the 'Best International Act'. This was a big deal, because despite the police applying serious pressure to stop Giggs, he was still able to rise to the top. It was also another demonstration of the fall of Grime and the rise of UK Rap. Here's a video of Tim Westwood congratulating Giggs for the win: Kenny struggled to shake the trauma and reputational damage that came from association with such a terrible crime. “You’re searching online and you see this name and this is what it’s connected to,” he said. “You try to get a job, find a partner do normal things, this is there now [connected to] your name.”
Five days after the killing detectives arrested them but they dropped them from the inquiry within a month after a new witness emerged, a 13-year-old girl, naming four other members of their gang as the killers. This witness, known as Bromley, diverted the whole investigation and led to the collapse of the crown's case at the first trial when the judge labelled her a liar. It began with The Kenny Report, which he delivered to the House of Commons and which detailed the experiences of marginalised young people who drift into gangs, and has led to extensive work with charities, communities and policy-makers that is helping to change the narratives of other young people just like Kenny.According to a former employee of one of these small-scale urban cable stations, the more explicit the lyrics, the more likely it would be aired. She said: 'If they aren't talking about popping your gun and repping your ends the station didn't want to know. I think it's disgusting and that's why I left.'
