OneFour rapper YP delivers bombshell about the group’s future after being jailed for bashing a man in a street fight

One of the founders of drill rap group OneFour has revealed that he plans to leave the group.

Rapper Pio “YP” Misa was sentenced Thursday to seven months in prison with four months non-parole for his role in a violent street fight, meaning he will be eligible for release in January.

At the sentencing, his lawyer Brian Royce told the court in Sydney that Misa had rejoined his Christian faith and that his beliefs did not fit his image as a OneFour member. Daily telegram reported.

“You can see from (the psychological) reports that he has matured… his Christian beliefs have now brought him into conflict with some of the messages contained in the lyrics of the band OneFour,” Mr Royce said.

The band's lyrics include those for the song The Message, written after the death of Tino Henry in 2018 during a so-called 'postcode war' brawl.

No one from OneFour had any involvement in Mr Henry's death, but the lyrics of the song include the lines: 'Retribution is a must, ain't no maybe ifs or buts/I got friends watching 10/You saw how yours in a box was put (put in a box).”

“He now feels like he is internally conflicted … (between) growing his music career and developing Christian beliefs,” Mr. Royce said.

“He wants to live a pro-social life and be involved in church activities.”

The lawyer assigned to Misa wants to 'completely walk away from the band' he founded in 2014.

The group, from Mount Druitt in Sydney's west, feature in the documentary OneFour: Against All Odds, released on October 26, which chronicles their rise to fame and struggle to perform live shows.

However, Misa was not at the film's launch as he was in custody following the wild brawl in Sydney's northwestern suburb of South Windsor in September.

According to court documents, Misa hit the victim, Troy Camplin, in a fight outside the home on September 22.

Mr Camplin was knocked to the ground and hit on the head. He suffered a 2cm cut to the back of his skull, causing blood to flow down his neck and clothing.

Magistrate Leanne Robinson accepted the rapper rejoined his church and had good prospects for rehabilitation.

In their Netflix documentary, OneFour received the glowing treatment and was praised by hip-hop stars Skepta and The Kid Laroi, among others.

But while the film touched on how Misa, Salec 'Lekks' Sua and Dahcell 'Celly' Ramos were all jailed over a violent attack on two men in a Rooty Hill slot in July 2018, the film ignored the severity of the attack. .

In that attack, Misa pulled a chair leg from under his clothing and punched one of the men three times, including twice in the head, while shocking footage showed Celly repeatedly hitting the victim with a hammer and stamping on him, killing him became unconscious.

On Thursday, Misa (pictured) was sentenced to seven months in prison with four months non-parole for his role in a violent street fight, meaning he will be eligible for release in January.

A court heard that one of One Four's founders wants to “completely walk away from the band” he founded in 2014.

Lekks was jailed for at least four and a half years, Celly – the hammer attacker – ten years and Misa four years for their role in the bashing.

“I did what I felt was right at the time,” Misa said in the documentary.

“It could have been very different, we could have gone and talked to them, but that was just the way we went about it, we didn't know how to talk at the time.”

Although the documentary aired some of the CCTV footage of the brutal attack and mentioned that the members were imprisoned, the incident was quickly brushed aside and the gruesome details of the bashing were left out.

The film also failed to mention that Lekks, who never shows his face in public, was deported from Australia after serving his sentence due to his criminal record.

His visa was revoked in June 2020 and he was deported to New Zealand last year after his non-parole period expired.

Misa was released from prison in December 2022, before landing back behind bars nine months later following the South Windsor attack.
