Bounty Killer released an official statement on Thursday, weeks after his return to the USA, warning his fans of fraudulent social media posts seemingly promoting events with him as a featured performer.
Bounty Killer travelled to the US in March for the first time in 15 years after his visa was reinstated. Bounty’s press release noted that fans have long awaited his return to the stage in the US and promised that that day would materialise soon.
However, according to the release, fraudulent information has been spreading online regarding when exactly Bounty will have his first performance. Slamming the misleading information as unauthorised, the press release clarified that Bounty is not confirmed to perform at any concert in the US.
While the Benz and Bimma deejay is not currently confirmed as a featured performer for any events, discussions are underway with a US booking agent.
“The artist is happy to report that discussions with his management team and a booking agent in the US are currently underway for his highly anticipated return to the performing stage in the USA. Bounty is obviously eager to perform for his thousands of diehard fans, but again, no date has been confirmed as yet,” the press release states.
The release also extended Bounty’s thanks to his manager, family, friends, and fans for their unwavering support over the years.
The reinstatement of Bounty’s US visa this year followed that of multiple of his industry peers. Vybz Kartel’s visa was reinstated in January ahead of his appearance at the Grammys, and the deejay is set to take to the stage for the first time in over 20 years this weekend.
After a 10-year visa ban, Beenie Man’s US visa was recently reinstated, and the Dancehall veteran will perform in Atlanta, Georgia, for the first time in over a decade in May. Other popular Jamaican artistes who have had their visas reinstated include Buju Banton, Sizzla, and Aidonia, who will be staging his 20th-anniversary concert in New York on May 3.
