Steven was London's first stabbing victim last year.

Police confirmed to Radio 1 Newsbeat the 19-year-old rapper has also been charged with violent disorder.

Two other men have been charged in relation to the case.

Police say they were called by the London Ambulance Service in the early hours of Monday, 1 January 2018 to a flat near Old Street Station.

The dead man - from Belvedere on the border of Kent and London - was found with stab injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another 20-year-old man who was found at the scene with stab injuries was taken to hospital and recovered.

All three men charged will appear at magistrates' court on Thursday.
