Fans took to Twitter and told followers of their shock, with one tweeting: 'As if I’m walking round Central and Digga D just rolls up in Piccadilly Circus.'
Another said: 'Digga D waking up to shut down the west end, he might have the best marketing team.'
Meanwhile a third claimed that the police did not seem impressed.
Fans appear to have been invited to join Digga D and Ivorian Doll on a TikTok post which said: 'Grey tracky music video on Saturday, Piccadilly Circus, 1pm.'
Digga D, whose birth name is Rhys Herbert, has caused significant controversy in recent years.
He holds convictions for gang-related crime and is subject to a police order that controls his musical output.
Herbert left prison in May 2020 after being sentenced to two and a half years for his part in a machete brawl in front of shoppers in central London.
Anti-knife campaigners also criticised the BBC for producing a documentary about a violent rapper in which he complains about his struggle to make music that glorifies gang attacks.
