Dancehall artiste, event promoter, and music producer Delly Ranx is currently hospitalized after being involved in a serious car accident in Atlanta, Georgia — mere minutes from his home. The incident, which occurred over the weekend, involved a collision between the entertainer’s silver Mercedes-Benz and a truck, resulting in the truck overturning and the car being completely totalled. Though the full details of the crash have not yet been determined, Delly Ranx sustained injuries to his foot and shoulder and is currently undergoing several tests to assess the full extent of his injuries. “I am asking all my friends and family to pray for me because I’m in a lot of pain,” he told Irie FM in a subsequent newscast, his voice tinged with both gratitude and concern.
The news has prompted an outpouring of support from the dancehall community, with several of his compatriots offering messages of hope and solidarity. Dancehall star Sean Paul commented, “Jah guide an protect my G. Hope u good. Blessings,” while Spragga Benz added emotionally, “Mi bredda mi hafi comment again wid a prayer caa Jah know mi couldn’t handle it.” embattled deejay Kiprich expressed his faith, stating, “God is great bredda,” and Buju Banton simply asked, “Max! Wa gwan???” In a heartfelt Instagram post featuring images from the crash scene, Delly Ranx captioned the moment with spiritual reflection: “Jah Jah Never Fail I yet 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿”. The accident comes at a critical time, as the artist was actively promoting his upcoming Xtatic Summer Jam event set for next month.
Atlanta, where Delly Ranx resides, has a troubling record when it comes to road safety. According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, over 1,700 fatal crashes were reported statewide in 2023, with the Atlanta metropolitan area accounting for a significant portion of those incidents. The city has seen a rise in vehicle collisions, attributed in part to distracted driving, speeding, and heavy commercial traffic. In 2022 alone, Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — recorded more than 53,000 traffic accidents, averaging 145 crashes per day. As fans pray for his recovery, Delly Ranx’s accident serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present dangers when travelling on the roads.
