At this rate, they will end up reserving a cell for him: with proceedings already under way against him for possession of ganja, Bounty Killer has been back in jail after his girlfriend, Racquel Smith, filed a complaint for assault.
The accusations are all the more serious as the blows were allegedly struck with a hammer and a chain. In court, Racquel Smith reportedly said she would prefer mediation and did not want to split up with the deejay, the Jamaica Observer reports. Bail of 500,000 Jamaican dollars having been posted, Bounty must appear in court on 8 November for his trial.
The street was quick to seize on the affair. Junior Reid's sons, Andrew and Wada Blood, have released a track called Di Hammer. The two deny targeting Bounty, but everyone sees it as a "diss tune" (the lyrics leave little doubt), to which Bounty is unlikely to remain indifferent. He has reportedly already written his counteraction.
