Former Portmore Empire recording artist Gaza Indu is mourning the death of her father. The entertainer, whose given name is Dashia Muir, shared the heartbreaking news on her Instagram story, revealing that she performed on Freedom Street unaware that her father had passed away hours earlier. “I’m broken, but I’ll keep smiling,” she wrote, vowing to honour her father’s memory and make him proud.
This tragedy follows a decade of personal challenges, including her battle with cervical cancer in 2014. At her lowest point, she reached out to Olympic legend Usain Bolt for help, a moment she credits with saving her life. “I was skin and bone and bleeding for months,” she shared in an interview with The Fix podcast. “I messaged Bolt at two in the morning, and he replied. Within days, he sent someone to the hospital with the money I needed to start treatment.”
Gaza Indu’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support. Despite her struggles, she continues to push forward, vowing to overcome life’s challenges. From Usain Bolt’s generosity to her own unwavering determination, she remains a beacon of perseverance in the face of adversity.
