Up to 200 people showed up in Buckingham Park, before being moved on to Bedgrove and Watermead.

A crowd gathered in the area after the Brixton rapper said online he wanted "to see everyone on the block".

He has now issued an apology via his Instagram page.

He said: "Last Friday I shot a video in Aylesbury.

"I thought we'd be able to control the situation and keep everyone safe.

"I now realise how irresponsible and thoughtless it was and I want to apologise for my role in a totally regrettable episode.

"We all need to follow the guidelines, maintain social distance and stay safe, particularly in light of the huge sacrifices everyone has made over the last few months.

"It won't happen again."

Local Councillor Anders Christiensen said the decision to shoot the video was 'idiotic' and 'irresponsible'.

Thames Valley Police said officers spoke to those involved and "encouraged them to leave the area and to comply with social distancing guidelines".

A spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police said: "Officers were called at about 17:40 BST following reports of a large gathering in the Buckingham Square area of Aylesbury.

"A number of officers attended the scene and spoke to those involved. Officers engaged with them and encouraged them to leave the area and to comply with social distancing guidelines."

She added that no arrests were made and the gathering had dispersed by 20:30.
