Dancehall artiste Jahshii has used a new song and video, Fire Alarm, to address rumours linking him to an altercation with 45-year-old Omar “Romie” Wright before the latter was gunned down in Grants Pen, St Andrew last month.

“Why dem want hold down mi pickney? As mi say already, and mi ah go say it again, oonu go find Proverbs 12 and read 22 to 28,” Jahshii’s mother, Lorna Henry, says in the introduction of the video.

Then Jahshii chimes in with hard-hitting lyrics: “Mi deh pan dah stage yah wid a weapon near mi weh nuh deh pan safety/Ah di whole place mi wi tek and shake it/Cah tek mi 3 points nuh Lebran James this/Dem affi go witness bless and greatness…”

The 25/8 artiste is even more defiant on the chorus where he warns: “A rather them than me cah kill mi suh easy/One up inna the mattic, mi nah itch fi squeeze i’/ ah rather them than me…ah rather them than me.”

He upbraided the traditional news media and social media bloggers on the single, declaring “Mr Newsman, get your facts right, and nuh bring your news wrong.”

He also shares his thoughts about his experiences and sings about being paranoid about the situation that the media speculation created.

In the next verse, Jahshii remains defiant, saying that like David vs Goliath, he would be protecting himself at any cost going forward.

The entertainer was questioned and released by police regarding the murder of Wright. His lawyer, Peter Champagnie, has maintained his client’s innocence.

Reports are that Wright was killed on Shortwood Road about 10:40 pm on June 7 by armed men. There were allegations that Jahshii’s mom, who operates a wholesale business in the area, had an altercation with Wright during which he threw water in her face. It was rumoured that Jahshii, whose real name is Mluleki Tafari Clarke, then reportedly argued with Wright about the incident.

Jahshii and his mother have denied that any altercation took place.
