Naseem Mohammed was arrested last week on a Canada-wide warrant. I confirmed the charges he is now facing in Ontario.
Here’s my story:
A Surrey rapper associated to the Brothers Keepers gang has been charged in Ontario with several counts related to an incident in Mississauga in December.
Naseem Ali Mohammed, 21, was arrested in West Vancouver last week and transported to Ontario.
Peel Regional Police Const. Sarah Patten confirmed Monday that Mohammed is facing charges of unlawful confinement, assault, pointing a firearm, uttering death threats, theft and robbery.
She said the charges relate to a dispute with another man that allegedly took place in a vehicle on Dec. 12, 2019.
A Canada-wide warrant for Mohammed’s arrest was issued on Dec. 14.
Mohammed, who raps under the name Wlatt, is close to several Metro Toronto rappers, including a man known as Why-G.
On Instagram, Why-G lamented the murder of his friend and fellow rapper Keeshawn Brown, who was gunned down in a south Surrey house on Dec. 23, 2019.
Why-G also did a rap song with Mohammed that was posted on YouTube on Oct. 31, 2019.
The song, called Season 1, boasts about “trapping” in the drug trade on the West Coast, beefing with “opps” and having “my shooters … in position.” In the middle of the song one of the rappers says: “I am my brothers’ keeper.”
Mohammed is closely linked to the Brothers Keepers. In 2018, he was on a Vancouver harbour cruise with gang members, captured in photos of the event obtained by Postmedia.
He has no criminal record in B.C., but has an outstanding charge in Surrey of driving while his licence was suspended, which was laid last October.
Mohammed travelled to Russia last year with Toronto rapper Pressa and was featured in a video of the trip posted to YouTube.
Sources say Mohammed had been travelling back and forth between Ontario and B.C. with his rapper friends.
A Postmedia investigation recently revealed that warring gangsters with the Brothers Keepers and their rivals in the Kang group have been posting rap songs online, taunting each other and advocating more violence.
One of the songs supporting the Kang side included a recording of a 911 call made by the brother of Gavinder Grewal after he found the Brothers Keepers leader shot to death in his North Vancouver penthouse.
The VPD is investigating how the rapper obtained the recording.
