The British rapper – real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su – rose to fame five years ago with the release of his drill singles Day in the Life and Loading, with his first mixtape Wild West debuting at number two on the UK Albums Chart. His 2023 song Sprinter also holds the titles of being the longest-running number one rap song in the UK, holding the position for 10 weeks, and the most streamed UK rap song ever. The 27-year-old is currently on his Can't Rush Greatness World Tour, performing in Australia over the past week. However, during his Perth concert, a shocking incident unfolded which left a woman being attacked and a teenager now in custody. On Wednesday night's show at RAC Arena a 17-year-old, who was in the seated section, allegedly turned around and started attacking a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman watching the show. Witnesses alleged the boy started throwing punches about 9.40pm and continued for over two minutes, as reported by PerthNow. A video shared on TikTok also captured part of the jaw-dropping incident. Concertgoer Campbell Darby, who was sitting next to the woman, said he was left shaken after witnessing the attack. 'They were right next to me, and I had to move out of the way, but the girl was knocked out, fully unconscious,' he told the same publication. 'I had to help the people next to me get out of the way, so they didn't get hit. 'It completely turned my night around, and the people I was with were very shaken up after seeing that happen right in front of our eyes and seeing the poor girl unconscious on the floor.'

Central Cee: Fight breaks out during UK rapper's Perth concert at RAC Arena
Young rap fans have been left scared and in shock after a teenage boy allegedly attacked a woman during Central Cee's Perth concert at RAC Arena on Wednesday night. The British rapper, real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, took to the arena stage about 9pm to perform for thousands of fans of all ages for the last show on his Can't Rush Greatness world tour. With the 27-year-old drill star bringing his West London energy to a hyped crowd, things took a turn for the worse according to witnesses when the 17-year-old, in the seated section, allegedly turned around and started attacking a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman enjoying the show. Witnesses alleged the boy started throwing punches about 9.40pm and continued for over two minutes. A video shared on TikTok captured part of the wild incident. Concertgoer Campbell Darby, who was sitting next to the woman, said he was left shaken up after witnessing the fight in front of him. The 20-year-old claimed he saw the woman 'fall unconscious'. 'They were right next to me, and I had to move out of the way, but the girl was knocked out, fully unconscious,' he said. 'I had to help the people next to me get out of the way so they didn't get hit.' Perth Police have since charged the Gosnells boy with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault. A WA Police spokeswoman said officers patrolling the venue were alerted to a physical altercation about 9.45pm. 'It will be alleged; a 17-year-old male assaulted a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman,' she said. 'Both victims sustained bruising to the head and face. 'It will be further alleged; the juvenile resisted arrest and was verbally abusive towards officers.' The boy was also charged with one count each of disorderly behaviour in a public place and obstructing public officers. Central Cee is a leading drill musician who frequently references gang culture and violence in his music. Mr Darby said he attended the concert aware that something like this might happen. 'I did not expect it to land on top of me,' he said. 'It completely turned my night around, and the people I was with were very shaken up after seeing that happen right in front of our eyes and seeing the poor girl unconscious on the floor.' Fellow Cee fan Don Salapang, 21, said she and the people she was with were all 'so scared and in shock'. 'I wouldn't say the fight completely ruined the experience, but it definitely brought down the mood significantly for everyone and some of us were torn, focusing on the aftermath of the fight and the actual concert,' she said. 'We felt bad going back to recording and acting like nothing happened. 'I don't think many people truly expect something as bad as that to happen at a concert, especially when there's young kids around too.' St John WA spokeswoman said paramedics were not called out to the scene. An RAC Arena spokesperson said patron and staff safety was staff's top priority. 'We are aware of the incident and are currently assisting WAPOL with their investigation into the matter.' The boy is due to face Perth Children's Court on July 29.

Central Cee to bring slice of London to S.F.
In just a few years, Central Cee has transformed his TikTok virality into a full-fledged rap career. But it's been a long time coming. The rapper, whose real name is Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, grew up writing poems and raps as a young child in London. He was exposed to genres such as reggae and dancehall by attending Notting Hill Carnival and immersed himself in American hip-hop when spending time with his father. At 14 years old, his friend brought him to a recording studio and he grew motivated to become a musician professionally. After years of releasing singles and EPs, and eventually a collaboration with U.K. rapper Dave, his career was bolstered in 2022 by the TikTok success of his song 'Doja.' Building on the momentum of his virality, Central Cee signed to Columbia Records in 2023. He continued on to release his debut album, 'Can't Rush Greatness' two years later. The drill rapper is now set to bring his accompanying tour to San Francisco's Masonic on Tuesday, May 6.
