UK Rapper Recovering Following Backstage Knife Attack

British rapper Krept has assured fans he will be “back in no time” following an assault backstage across the weekend.

As BBC reports, the UK artist – who is best known as one half of Krept & Konan - was at a festival in Birmingham on Saturday night when he was slashed by a knife backstage.

Krept has since taken to Twitter to let fans know he is recovering.

My people thanks for the messages Im good, ill be back in no time. God was with me trust me. Cant keep a good man down💪🏾❤️

Although Krept was not performing at the BBC Radio 1Xtra live event – which featured French Montana, Ms Banks and more – organisers ended things 40 minutes early following the incident.

No arrests have been made in relation to the assault.

We are upset and saddened that something like this should happen to a guest at one of our events and we remain in close contact and continue to offer our full support 2/2
