Dancehall royalty Beenie Man has officially announced his return to the U.S. entertainment scene, revealing that his visa has been reinstated after a decade-long hiatus. The Grammy-winning artist, affectionately known as the “King of the Dancehall,” shared the news with fans through a spirited freestyle on Instagram. “Everything sweet again one more time, American visa come again, one more time,” he declared, capturing the jubilation of the moment.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the video, Beenie Man expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to re-enter the lucrative U.S. market. “Thank you AMERICA & JAMAICA for this great travel opportunity once again! 🙏🏾,” he wrote, before promising fans, “America, me soon faawud.” This announcement marks a significant turning point in his career, reigniting his connection with American audiences and opening doors for new collaborations and performances.
The ban, which stemmed from a visa revocation more than a decade ago, had significantly hindered Beenie Man’s international reach and earnings. His manager, Shawn Baptiste, previously highlighted the challenges this posed, stating, “Running a business without proper communication or a cohesive team makes it difficult. Beenie Man’s career demands not just music management but also a team that understands the business and handles travel logistics effectively.”
The reinstatement of his visa not only signals a fresh chapter for Beenie Man but also reflects a broader moment for dancehall artists who have faced similar travel restrictions. Fans are eagerly anticipating his return to U.S. stages, where his electrifying performances and iconic hits like Who Am I (Sim Simma) and King of the Dancehall are sure to remind the world why he remains a cornerstone of the genre. With his sights set on reclaiming his global dominance, Beenie Man’s comeback promises to be nothing short of legendary.
