Bounty Killer Slams Dancehall Artists Who Are Associating With, Arming Criminals
Bounty Killer has lashed out against Dancehall artists who are engaging in criminal activities, and associating with gunmen and arming them with weapons.
The Coppershot artist who recently joined the Crime Stop initiative, made his comments yesterday after a video surfaced of a gunfight in broad daylight, between members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force and criminals, during which the police shot and killed two gunmen, who, according to police reports, had, minutes earlier, murdered a businessman on Old Hope Road and stolen his licensed firearm.
“Jah know star it’s only hours earlier on I posted the CRIME STOP 🛑 CRIME CRASH video then moments after this took place on Waterloo Rd two likkle mascaraed go meet them Waterloo the little youths them have no rawtid sense today..,” Bounty wrote on Instagram where he had shared the video of the gun battle.
“Is this the Jamaica we all wanted? ppl really is it? I don’t know about nobody wanted, but if this was the life I wanted I wouldn’t bother to leave Riverton or Seaview Gardens then,” he added.
Bounty then declared that all cold-blooded murderers should suffer the same fate as the gunmen who fired at the police in the busy thoroughfare.
“So hear mi, all of the Stinking Nasty Duty Rotten Johncrow Skirmish Zaar Criminal deh fi bloodclaath DEAD💀in cold blood; I CARE ZEEO; my stance this. I Stand With Country,” he said.
Turning to artists involved in murders, Bounty said they too, should also perish.
“Anyone who is friends or associates with any kind of pussy ole like this should be treated likewise Especially Some Artiste gal and boy who is buying guns and mining gunman and criminal; bullet unuh fi get to str8 up. Mi nuh hide and talk mi bad bumboclaath man who nuh like it just say a word b-tches and witches waiting,” he wrote.

Bounty’s fans also went head-to-head with one follower, b_.b.__ who provocatively asked: “Nuh u sing anytime me hungry again dem ago see me 9 sir?” referring to the Callaloo Bed native’s 1999 gangster song dubbed Anytime.
The uproar that followed saw the Living Dangerously artist returning to his page to respond.
“They well and know that is art imitates life not life imitates art so wtf who influences artists and music the same society that’s crying out now so whatever music dishes out is what its been fed with then simple blame for blame in the blame game,” he declared in his first response.
He continued by responding to @stainless_tony. “@stainless_tony Exactly gone are the days when thy neighbor could’ve scold ur child if they were misbehaving things used to be so much better when the villages used help raise the child now if teacher touches a child too much u see them parent come school to fight off the teacher the morals of this country had decayed big time the evil forces and the money God’s taking over and Jamaica slowly becoming a soulless place,” Bounty wrote.
In defence of Dancehall music, Bounty also made reference to the days of his youth, noting that back then he loved “bad company”, and even got gunshots, but as maturity set in and he found his way on the right path and never became a gunman.
“@stainless_tony Who love guns and gun movies like me and I even got shot at age 16 as a boy how come mi never go tun gunman that just want wasn’t my inspiration I grew up loving badness and bad company but that’s when my senses wasn’t fully develop soon as they did I found my true calling music simple u live what u learn not what u heard in a song or saw in a movie,” he said.
