Following dancehall songstress Ishawna’s on-stage antics at the just concluded Reggae Sumfest in Catherine Hall, Montego Bay, where she brought on stage a life-size cut out of dancehall luminary Bounty Killer as a prop, eventually placing it flat on the stage and straddling over it sexually. The warlord, on Monday morning, shot back at the controversial singer.
Reposting a video from the Instagram user @dr.ledd, who recounts the event and serves up his perspective on the incident, Bounty captioned the post stating,
“Thank you @dr.ledd
