Spice Makes Big Donation To KipRich, Kizzy Don’s Baby Fund

Queen of Dancehall Spice has thrown her financial weight behind KipRich and Kizzy Don, donating US$5,000 to assist with the medical care of their premature daughter, Miracle.

The So Mi Like It deejay, whose real name is Grace Hamilton, shared her GoFundMe payment confirmation on her Instagram Story on Thursday. Tagging both Kiprich and Kizzy Don, she added a message of solidarity: “I’m praying for you both.”

Spice’s contribution has given a significant boost to the campaign, which was launched after the couple’s daughter was born prematurely while they were on a work trip in San Andres, Colombia. The unexpected arrival has left them facing mounting medical bills in a foreign country, with a fundraising target set at US$250,000.

Spice isn’t the only industry peer stepping up for the Telephone Ting artist. British-Jamaican rapper Stefflon Don has also made a “substantial donation” to the cause, while D’Angel has been using her own social media platforms to rally her followers to contribute.

As of Friday, the campaign has raised over US$23,000 from 555 donations.

However, the outpouring of love has been accompanied by a wave of online scrutiny. Since the news broke, the couple has faced significant skepticism on social media, with some users questioning the authenticity of their claims and accusing them of fabricating the emergency for financial gain.

The allegations forced a frustrated Kiprich to go Live on Instagram multiple times this week. In the broadcasts, he provided updates on the situation and expressed disbelief that he had to prove the validity of his child’s life-threatening situation while navigating a medical crisis abroad.

Kiprich told DancehallMag that Baby Miracle, who arrived at only six months gestation, weighed in at one and a half pounds (700 grams). She is presently stable and receiving 24-hour attention from the medical staff at a hospital in San Andrés.

“We’re asking for assistance from the public,” he shared. “We don’t have any insurance in San Andreas, so each day, we get a bill, we have to pay for each day she is in the hospital, we have to pay for her having the baby in the hospital, for all the medications the baby ah get.”

“Thus far, mi get a bill for like 13 million pesos, that is about US$3000 and that is for the baby alone, her (Kizzy) bill is different, and I don’t even know how much the transfusion is going to cost.”

He revealed that the initial air ambulance transfer from San Andrés—which requires a specialized team of doctors to accompany the infant—will cost US$15,000 alone. Following that, there are additional accommodation fees for the medical facility in Bogota, Colombia. Kiprich added that the probable cost for an air ambulance to eventually transport Kizzy and Miracle from Colombia to the United States is estimated at an additional US$98,000.

“Do the maths, this is a lot, so we’re making an appeal to the public for whatever assistance they can give,” Kiprich said.
