A young n rapper has fronted court after allegedly ramming his car into two people on a scooter and then fleeing the scene.
Logan Cudarans, 19, who goes by his stage name Skux, was seen smiling at cameras as he appeared at an Adelaide courthouse with his father and lawyer on Monday.
Cudarans briefly bared his grills at media waiting outside before swaggering into the building, wearing a thick gold necklace and a creased, buttoned-up shirt.
He is accused of driving a blue Ford sedan that struck two people on a scooter in the carpark of Gilles Plains Shopping Centre, in the city’s north-east, on May 18.
A 35-year-old woman and 45-year-old man, both from Modbury Heights, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police allege Cudarans left the scene and was arrested 11 days later.
He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after causing harm, speeding dangerously and driving without due care.
Cudarans appeared to smirk at cameras waiting outside the court but declined to answer any questions about the alleged incident.
The teenager’s song ‘Throw Away Bars’ made the ARIA Hip Hop top ten chart in 2023.
He has gained notoriety for rapping about youth gang Killa Block Squad (KBS), stabbings, and gun violence.
While Cudarans is from Kilburn, 10km north of Adelaide CBD, he frequently travels to Sydney for his music.
On Monday, the teenager briefly appeared to request a change to his bail conditions to allow him to travel interstate for work.
The case was adjourned while negotiations continue between Cudarans’ legal team and the prosecution.
He is expected to return to court next month.
