Jada Kingdom Warns Dancehall Fans About Approaching Her The Wrong Way

Dancehall songstress Jada Kingdom has worked hard at honing her craft over the last two years and one price that she’s had to pay for gaining fame is fear and paranoia.

She admitted, while speaking during a recent Instagram Live chat, that one of her fears since becoming popular is being harmed by a fan. While she’s enjoyed an increase in the recognition of her talents she believes that being popular is frightening.  “Being popular is scary bro cause yuh nuh know who know yuh, yuh nuh know who after yuh,” she said.

“Yuh nah fi do nobody nothing, dem just nuh waan yuh have it,” she added.

The WiN singer even admitted that after being surprised by some overly zealous fans some interactions became physical.

“Mi fight two fans already. One time me did deh a this Chinese restaurant inna Market Place a eat mi food…Di way how the girl run up pon me mi frighten… One elbow! Mi seh mi nuh know weh she come from,” she shared.

Jada admitted that the fan just wanted a photo but she was so startled that she felt she had to defend herself. “Mi bawl cause the girl seh she only a come over to me for a picture but the way how she run over, like she nuh seh nothing. Mi nuh know how mi elbow reach up deh so fast but mi nuh run dem joke deh,” she added.

The incident was handled well in the end as she explained to the fan why she reacted so poorly and she even bought the person dinner as an apology.

“Mi did haffi buy di girl dinner and a sing fi har, hug har up, tell har sorry. Mi explain to her how gangster life work.”

She shared another example of when she became physical and this one happened at an event.

“Mi think a mi assistant behind me a walk a hold on pon me. When mi look, nuh this girl a try rob me, a go inna mi pocket… A gi har it yuh see, one neat slap, she said. Even though the fan still showered her with love and praises Jada said she responded by saying: “Yuh just a try pick mi pocket. You’ll get slapped.”

She’s hoping that these incidents don’t become more frequent and issued some advice to her fans.

“If unno see me in person, please mek some noise from a far so mi can hear and seh ‘Waa gwaan?’ and mek sure unno have on something tight so mi can see if unno have any weapon pon unno. Mi paranoid bad,” she said.

Kingdom is best known for One Time, Banana, Heavy!, and WiN.  Her last single was Green Dreams, released in December.
