Viral dancehall sensation Gully Bop, once an energetic force on the music scene, is now grappling with illness and is seeking public assistance for his medical needs.
Since his hospitalization in 2021 due to a hernia, the entertainer’s health has been deteriorating, and he urgently needs medication and daily essentials.
Gully Bop’s story came to light through the efforts of a pastor and his church, El Shaddai Prophetic Ministry. With their support, the artist was able to undergo surgery, but his challenges persist as he faces ongoing medical expenses. A plea for help was made by humanitarian Donna Gowe, more popularly known as Auntie Donna, who connected with Gully Bop and shared his plight with the public.
Gully Bop’s situation took a distressing turn when he revealed being deceived in a previous GoFundMe campaign, where funds were allegedly mishandled. Despite his previous setback, Gully Bop is again seeking assistance, this time with the recommendation that any donations be managed by a trustworthy intermediary.
Amidst the unfolding situation, Auntie Donna’s efforts received significant attention, even prompting Gully Bop’s former partners, A’mari and Shauna Chin, to be urged to assist him. Gowe, addressing the matter on her YouTube channel, stood up for Gully Bop and explained the reasoning behind involving his former partners in his time of need.
Gully Bop’s journey from viral sensation to his current predicament highlights the challenges that can emerge even after achieving fame through social media. His hits like “Wuk Affa Mi” and “My God, Dem Nuh Bad Like Me” made him a distinctive figure in Jamaica’s music landscape during the early era of online popularity.
