Why was Digga D arrested? Real name, net worth, and all about the rapper as police raid video goes viral on IG

U.K. rapper Rhys Angelo Emile Herbert aka Digga D was arrested on Wednesday on a suspected drug supplying case. The 23-year-old took to Instagram Live as the Metropolitan Police assembled outside the rapper’s Bracebridge Heath address in Lincolnshire and began knocking on his door, demanding entry.

As sounds of the door being kicked and shattered glass could be heard in the background, Digga called out to the police to tell them he was inside. He said:

“What do you lot want, I’m here! I am here! Stop! What are you lot doing? I am coming! Why are you lot doing that?”

An officer was also heard ordering him to come out using the back door with his hands in the air. Eyewitnesses of the ordeal claimed around ten police cruisers, drones, and dogs arrived at the address at around 5:55 a.m. on February 21. The raid reportedly lasted about two hours as residents inside the house refused to come out.

A spokesperson for the Met Police told various news outlets that the officers executed a warrant per Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act at the Lincolnshire residential address. As per their statement, the police arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of being involved in the supply of drugs. Digga D is to remain in custody while the investigation continues.
