Bounty Killer demands better of J’cans living overseas5 min read

Veteran dancehall artiste Bounty Killer has lashed out at Jamaicans living overseas who send guns back to Jamaica, following a picture circulating on social media showing several guns and rounds of ammunition claimed to have been seized at the Kingston Wharf.

It was later stated by the police that although the guns are real, they were seized in Barbados and not in Jamaica.
In a post made on his official Instagram page, the ‘Warlord’ uploaded a picture of the guns and ammunition and wrote. “Found at the wharf earlier today. I just want to say that all those wicked, evil Jamaicans who is living overseas working or hustling money to buy guns to send to Jamaica, unu end ago bitter.”

The entertainer went on to explain that while politicians are to be blamed for a large part of the current crime situation, the country is battling. Some Jamaicans in the Diaspora are also contributing to the strengthening of crime and violence. The ‘Poor People’s Governor’ urged Jamaicans, particularly the ghetto youths, to open their eyes to what is happening in the country as it relates to crime, pointing out that too few people care until crime begins to directly affect them.”

The photo posted by Bounty Killer has been making the rounds on social media since last Thursday. Since then, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has issued a statement clarifying where the guns and ammunition were found. The JCF confirmed the legitimacy of the photo, but said the guns and ammunition were seized in Barbados and not Jamaica.

That news did not stop social media users from heaping praises on Bounty Killer for addressing a topic they believe too few entertainers are willing to talk about.
