London rapper DJ Ironik is recovering in hospital after he was stabbed in the early hours of this morning.
The 22-year-old musician, real name James Charters, was attacked by two men during an attempted robbery on the way back to his London home following a gig.
His manager Neil Ransome assured fans that he was 'doing ok' after receiving a non-threatening stab wound in his upper leg.
A police spokesman said it was believed the motivation behind the attack was robbery and involved two black men wearing hoods.
Most of the jewellery taken has since been recovered.

'He was stabbed in his upper leg, taken to hospital and is currently being treated. He is understandably shaken up by this unprovoked attack.'
His friend, a singer named Yasmin, wrote on Ironik's Twitter soon after the attack: 'Ironik is in hospital. Has been stabbed and in hospital but he is ok.'
