Bounty Killer back in US after 15 years
Dancehall star Bounty Killer returned to the United States for the first time in 15 years on Tuesday after his visa to the North American country was reinstated.
The entertainer made the announcement on social media, posting a photo of himself relaxing in a plane with the caption: “God is the greatest all the times despite how it may seem like in March 2010 my visa was revoked for what reasons up until this day is unknown fast forward 15yrs later today March 2025 i arrived in the states with no hassle the greatest thing I never had to beg bend or bow i stayed true to myself vigilant and resilient.”
His announcement of his arrival in the country was met with a flood of congratulatory messages from colleagues and fans alike.
Vybz Kartel, whose US visa was reinstated last month, posted a plane emoji with the hashtag #GodIsTheGreatest, while hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz responded with several fire emojis.
Ziggy Marley, Rohan Marley, Shaggy, Busy Signal and Safaree also expressed their support to the dancehall icon.
The 51-year-old, given name Rodney Price, had said his inability to travel to the US was “devastating” to his music career and family.
“I don’t even know how I survive. Most of my fans are in the US, and that’s where the music market is biggest. I can’t even get to go promote my songs or greet my fans or even my family, my kids. I got several kids in the US, so this affected me devastatingly,” he said in a previous interview.
