Reports that Canadian underground rapper Yung Drilla was shot dead inside a Jamaican villa have been thrown into doubt after local police said they could find no record of the alleged killing.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force has been unable to confirm the rapper’s death, identify the villa where the shooting supposedly occurred or establish a motive.
“We have been unable to confirm the fatal shooting or the exact location of the villa,” a representative of the Constabulary Communications Network, the JCF’s public-information arm, told Observer Online.
“We checked Montego Bay and the north coast, and we don’t have a definitive motive behind the shooting. It’s not showing up in our reports.”
Yung Drilla became the subject of widespread international attention on Monday after several media outlets and social-media pages claimed he had been killed while visiting Jamaica.
Early reports alleged that the artiste was shot inside a villa, although no precise location, police division or official account of the incident was provided.
Canadian websites swiftly declared the rapper dead, with one tribute reading: “Rest in peace, Yung Drilla. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.”
However, the absence of a corresponding police report in Jamaica has cast a cloud of uncertainty over those claims.
Yung Drilla is best known for his links to Toronto’s Regent Park music scene and underground hip-hop tracks including Trap Lord and First Day Out.
Until Jamaican police, his family or an authorised representative provides confirmation, reports of his death remain unverified.
DancehallMag will provide further updates as information becomes available.
YUNG DRILLA ♡ Miss Julianne Brian♡ LOVE Ones
YOU ARE LOVED♡ YOU ARE LOVE♡
Jamaican authorities and Government as well as Our Canadian Government and all applicable representatives. Are eash demonstrating themselves as useless and having littlle to no purpose.
It dosent require very much to Overstand the lazy implecations of the so called justice system in Jamaica. Canada should similarly be ashamed at how sad this is. To have people watch in horror as their friend is violently kidnapped found dead and no one is taking this seriously with the authority to do something and commence the necessary moment to dicover the Truth of Happened
A Canadian Man went on vacation and had his life taken. And His Mother and LOVE ONES are being told by authorities theres nothing to be done since theres apparently nothing to prove her sons death.
Though the friends He was traveling with experienced what they did. Its pretty obvious that the police corruption in Jamaica needs to be priority of Eradication. I dont know what happened to this young Man . However the agencies and people of authority who should absolutely be taking the matter seriously are either directly implecated the way they’re making this seem like nothing worthy of investing.
Almost more then a month time, before this information about Yung Drilla was taken seriously enough to refrain from classifying it as only rumors. I think the Jamaican police are covering up what hapoend and doing so less for the protection of the tourists agenda. But rather because of the corruption available to them with weak mindsets.
The family shouldn’t have to do all of this to put their LOVE ONE to REST.
Canada ,Jamaica . This wont be forgotten and the continuation of refusing any responsibility to find out what happened if ignored and dismissed.
Will reveal powerful reprecautions on every level.
One of the suspects is said to be in Canada. So Canada WTF step it up. The police are absolutely favoring money or something disregarding concerns and statements .
Everyone responsible for all the unnecessary pain will themselves be subjected to the pain theyve inflicted.
May Yung Drillla’s Soul be held and lead with LOVE and All its Divinity for Eternity. You Are LOVED You Are LOVE ♡YUNG DRILLS♡
