A teenage shooting suspect wrote an incriminating rap praising an alleged accomplice’s signing to Jay Z’s record label, a court heard.

The 17-year-old, who is also a rapper, Georgiou and three other teenagers, including a 17-year-old girl, are all jointly accused of attempted murder and possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

All deny the charges.

The girl further denies perverting the course of justice.
