Sugababe’s husband nets profits from crime videos

- BY ALAN SELBY

Amelle & Sousa Rosa SUGABABE Amelle Berrabah’s husband makes money out of menacing Youtube rap videos glorifying gang warfare.

Record company boss Marcio Sousa Rosa helps produce clips viewed millions of times on his firm’s Pressplay channel and profits from adverts.

A knife crime charity wants “vile” gang videos taken down amid a spate of murders in the UK.

Pressplay said on social media it had removed clips but insisted they would be back up in a “few weeks”.

Among its stable is the NPK gang who terrorise the area where 17-year-old Tenesha Melbourne was mistakenly killed in a drive-by shooting in April.

Patrick Green, of the Ben Kinsella Trust charity, said: “A line must be drawn at content which promotes gun and knife crime as a lifestyle choice.”

Singer Amelle, 34, who left the Sugababes in 2011, is expecting a baby with Mr Sousa Rosa. Neither responded to requests for a comment. .

He ex Freddie Fuller nearly died in a machete attack 10 years ago while she was with him.
