"Police and probation had a problem..."

Drill artist *Digga D* has been prevented from using his voice at a Black Lives Matter protest.

The rapper attended a Black Lives Matter demonstration in London recently, taking a sign along with him.

Posting a picture on his social media, it seems that authorities believe this to interfere with his probation - Digga D served one full year of a three year prison sentence at Wandsworth Prison.

Fans were quick to come to his support:



The feds want to recall @DiggaD_CGM for saying Black Lives Matter, on the basis that it apparently incites violence but won’t do shit to Tommy Robinson for how yesterday went... I see
