Jah Cure — Amsterdam stabbing conviction (2021–2025)

Well supported

Siccature Alcock, the singer Jah Cure, stabbed concert promoter Nicardo "Papa" Blake on Dam Square in Amsterdam in October 2021, in a dispute over payment for a show. A Dutch court convicted him of attempted manslaughter in March 2022 and sentenced him to six years, acquitting him of attempted murder. Prosecutors appealed; in October 2025 the Amsterdam Court of Appeal upgraded the conviction to attempted murder and raised the sentence to eight years and four months, citing voice messages sent before the attack as evidence of intent. The complainant survived.
