Adelaide rapper Skux has appeared at court after allegedly striking two people on a scooter while behind the wheel of a car.
Police allege the 19-year-old, real name Logan Cudarans, hit a 35-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man with a blue Ford sedan in the carpark of Adelaide’s Gilles Plains Shopping Centre on May 18th. The pair, from Modbury Heights, were taken to hospital with minor injuries, reports 7NEWS Adelaide.
Cudarans allegedly left the scene and was arrested 11 days later.
He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident causing harm, speeding dangerously, and driving without due care.
On Monday, he appeared at an Adelaide courthouse alongside his father and lawyer. Dressed in a button-up shirt and heavy gold chain, he briefly flashed his grills at media outside court before entering. Upon his exit, he was seen smirking at cameras but declined to speak to media or answer questions about the alleged incident.

The case was adjourned while negotiations continue between Cudarans’ legal team and the prosecution, after he requested a change to his bail conditions to allow him to travel interstate for work.
Cudurans frequents Sydney for his music, but lives in Kilburn, 10kms north of Adelaide CBD.
He is expected to return to court next month.
The rapper’s most popular song “Throwaway Bars” first made the ARIA Hip Hop top ten charts in 2023. In it, he says he is a member of Adelaide youth gang KBS or Killa Block Squad, and makes references to gun violence and stabbings.
It has over 15 million streams on Spotify, and sat in the ARIA Hip Hop Top 20 for 58 weeks, peaking at #2 three weeks in.
Other songs in his discography include “Why”, “GHETTO”, and his debut track “6Wayz”.
In a social media post, he previously said he draws inspiration from other Australian rappers including Kerser, and he likes inspiring and influencing “little youngins who have the same mindset as me”.
