L Jinny practiced music at home in London, where his rising music career saw him appear in videos and have his singles played on BBC Radio in 2012.
Early this year, he posted a picture of himself holding a severed head which further increased his familiarity, negatively.
The despicable picture, believed to have been taken in the Isis stronghold of Raqqa, was captioned: “Chillin’ with my homie or what’s left of him.”
According to reports, he travelled to the country last year from west London, where he lived with his mother and five siblings.
His father Adel Abdul Bary, an Egyptian refugee, believed to be one of Osama Bin Laden’s closes lieutenants, was extradited from Britain to the United States on charges of terrorism in 2012 for his alleged roles in the bombings of two US embassies in east Africa in 1998.
In some of his songs put online in 2012, L Jinny makes reference violence, drug use and life on a council estate and further talks about the threat of his family being deported to Egypt.
According to lyrics from one of his early songs, “It’s hard to progress in the future with a damaged past but still I try to count my blessings and I thank Allah"
“I’m trying to change my ways but there’s blood on my hands and I can’t change my ways until there's funds in the bank.
“I can’t differentiate the angels from the demons, my heart’s disintegrating. I ain't got normal feelings.
“Even my life’s blessed, still I will not find rest.”
“Give me the pride and the honour like my father, I swear the day they came and took my dad, I could have killed a cop or two,”
“Imagine then I was only six, picture what I’d do now with a loaded stick. Like boom bang fine, I’m wishing you were dead, violate my brothers and I’m filling you with lead.”
His current whereabouts in Syria is not known and his Twitter account under the name “Terrorist” @ItsLJinny has been deactivated.
He and his associate Abu Abdullah al-Britani were seen offering travel advice to upcoming jihadists online earlier this year.
They have both been linked the to a group of British jihadists known as “The Beatles”, including a man named "John" who beheaded the US journalist, Foley.
