History

In 2017, members of 12World harassed the grandmother of 1011 member Micah Bedeau, also known as Horrid1 or Huncho; the incident resulted in him and other 1011 members planning a ride-out against 12World, which was stopped by their arrest in November the same year. [3] In 2018, Xeneral Imiuru (alias Xeneral Webster), [8] also known as General and a member of 12World, [9] [10] was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the death of Joanne Rand, considered the first death from an acid attack in the UK. [11] He was later sentenced to life in 2020 for attacking a 50-year old prison officer. [12]

Music

Members of 12World were involved in the UK drill scene; these included Sav12 and S1. [13]
