Days after bidding an emotional farewell to his “big bro” Lieutenant Stitchie, Bounty Killer is celebrating new life in his family as he welcomes his first grandson. The Dancehall icon, who is now the grandfather of three, shared the joyful news on social media, describing the occasion as a “special and blessed day” while congratulating his son, @priceprodigy, on becoming a father.
The milestone comes at an emotional time for the Five-Star General, who recently paid tribute to Lieutenant Stitchie following the veteran deejay’s death. Sharing a youthful photograph of his close friend, Bounty Killer wrote that he was posting with a “heavy and saddening heart” before bidding his “big bro” farewell and declaring that “legends never dies they transcend from a Govana to a Govana”. Stitchie’s passing has prompted an outpouring of tributes across Jamaica’s entertainment fraternity.
Now, however, Bounty Killer is embracing a moment of joy as his family grows. Several industry figures, including Cham, Zumjay and his manager Bankey, have joined fans in congratulating the Dancehall veteran on the arrival of his first grandson. The new addition also comes with a new title, although Bounty Killer appears to have his own preferred terminology.
Rather than being called “grandfather”, the Dancehall icon has made it clear that he would rather be known as “Grandmaster”. The playful distinction adds a touch of Bounty Killer’s trademark personality to an otherwise deeply sentimental family milestone, as the entertainer celebrates the continuation of his family legacy while navigating the loss of a cherished friend and musical compatriot.
For Bounty Killer, the moment offers a poignant reminder that life continues through both loss and new beginnings. As the Dancehall veteran celebrates his growing family, his latest chapter as “Grandmaster” is officially under way.
