The barking get louder and more consistent so mi realize that something nuh right… about a couple seconds after mi hear a knock pon di window,” recalled the singer, known for the single Hey Girl.
He said the criminals then demanded for him to give up his car key and cell-phone before firing a single shot in the air, with the aim of intimidation.

“Bwoy I am puzzled and concerned about what happened it is a very scary experience, my kids and my Empress are very traumatized by this bad experience. But I am very grateful to Jah that they didn’t harm us, so I have to give thanks. It was a very traumatic experience for me,” he added.
