Hip Hop star ‘Angel’ has been fined for possessing cannabis.

The singer-songwriter and producer - real name Sirach Charles - was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates Court.

The 31 year-old, of 20 Strode Road, Fulham is best-known for hit ‘Wonderful’ which topped the UK R&B chart.

He pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis at 49a Devonport Road, Shepherd’s Bush on March 5.

Charles failed to appear on time for his initial court appearance and a warrant was issued for his arrest, but this was later withdrawn.

He was fined £200, with £85 costs and ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge.

The cannabis resin was ordered to be forfeited and destroyed.

His other hits include ‘Go In, Go Hard’; ’Time After Time’ and ‘The World’.

He has released two albums with Island Records, ‘About Time’ and ‘Woman’ and collaborated with artists including Tinchy Stryder and Fuse ODG.

Angel was part of ‘Artists For Grenfell’ who had a UK Number One with charity single ‘Bridge over Troubled Water.’
