Reggae singer Fantan Mojah has died following a protracted battle with a severe heart condition, two years after he was hospitalised in Martinique with severe chest pains and breathing difficulties. Prism Marketing Consultants understands that the veteran Jamaican recording artiste had been in and out of hospital while battling the condition and passed away on Tuesday while undergoing treatment.
Concerns about Fantan Mojah’s health became public in July 2024, when he was hospitalised shortly after arriving in Martinique. At the time, the singer reportedly experienced severe chest pains and difficulty breathing, forcing him to withdraw from the Reggae Therapy Festival 2024, where he had been scheduled to perform on July 12 and 13. His condition also prevented him from travelling by air for several weeks, resulting in his absence from another engagement in French Guiana.
Fantan Mojah, known for his distinctive blend of roots reggae and dancehall, gained international recognition with his 2005 debut album, Hail the King. Over the years, the Rastafarian crooner built a global following through his spiritually charged music and memorable recordings, including “Stronger”, which attracted millions of views online.
His death marks the loss of another recognised voice in Jamaican reggae music. As news of Fantan Mojah’s passing spreads across the global reggae community, further details surrounding his death and funeral arrangements are expected to emerge.
