I-Octane Reacts to Klansman Witness Statement… Says He is Not Criminal

Dancehall star I-Octane is currently a hot topic because of his connection to Blackman from the Klansman gang. According to a statement given in court yesterday, the rasta artiste was visited on multiple occasions at a studio in the corporate area. The reason for the visits was not mentioned, however, Byiome Muir whose real name is I-Octane took to social media hours ago to clear his name and insists that the relationship between himself and the gang members was musical and he is not a criminal.

See what I-Octane had to say about the controversial news story below.

“:AFTER READING THIS 👀 AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME 👀 WHERE AND HOW AM I A CRIMINAL 🤷‍♂️

He did not stop there, “Next thing, why would I doing crime and have my little daughter at a crime scene? So if having my daughter who loves music at my studio when I am recording so she can learn more plus voicing for a known recording company, where is the crime? Ok then, that means that the majority of Jamaican artists a criminal then… I am one of the biggest Jamaican superstars fi years now… so mek mi tell unnu this… I have come across (over my 15years) nuff yute who inna badness because of their background but come to me and say ‘DJ help take me out of badness’.

The trial which involves 33 members of the feared Klansman Gang from St. Catherine is well on the way and on each court day, more shocking testimonies are being reported.
