Skeng’s Bail Extended Over Airport Altercation

Dancehall deejay Skeng will return to court on November 7, after having his bail extended when he appeared before the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Thursday, September 8, 2022.

He is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, which he has denied and pleaded not guilty to when he appeared before the court in June.

The 21-year-old artist, whose real name is Kevaun Douglas, was charged on May 24 for allegedly behaving disorderly during an argument with security personnel at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.

He was attempting to board a flight to Trinidad, to headline the Revival Return Of Dancehall event on May 28.

Skeng is the most viewed artist in Jamaica on YouTube over the last 12 months racking up 100 million views, according to the platform’s Music Charts.

His single Protocol with Tommy Lee Sparta, which Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj has hailed as the “baddest” song in years, has over 37 million views on the platform.

After showing love from a distance for months, Minaj remixed his single Likkle Miss, and even gave him a shoutout during her acceptance speech at the recently held Video Music Award (VMAs). The two subsequently met in New York.

He and fellow on-the-rise artist Jahshii are booked for the return of the Sting stage show to be held on December 26, 2022, at the Grizzlys Plantation Cove in St. Ann.
