Agassi Babatunde Odusina, or Sneakbo as he is otherwise known, is an English rapper. His first song, "The Wave", made #48 on the UK Singles Chart and he has since released a number of hits, including being a featured artist on the D'Banj song "Oliver Twist".
At a young age Sneakbo listened to late rapper Tupac Shakur and pop star Michael Jackson.
In 2011, Odusina was saved from an eight-month jail sentence by his song The Wave, which had charted three weeks previously - the day of the trial was 30 November 2011 and the song had charted at #48 on 5 November 2011 - with the Judge, Ian Bourne QC, commenting "You are someone who has some talent judging by what I have read and heard about you. You are fortunate in these times to have a job and support from your manager. I'm told all this is in jeopardy if I jail you today. I hope you realise I'm giving you a chance to stay out of prison and it is up to you to comply with the conditions [to not contact his victim and to live at his manager's home in Waltham Cross, Essex]".
GAS gang, often known as Guns And Shanks gang or Grip And Shoot or Grind And Stack, is a south London gang. Odusina has been accused of being affiliated with it, a charge he denies.
Sneakbo spent three months incarcerated in Feltham Prison in late 2011 for threatening a woman in violation of an ASBO.
