Bounty Killer, Popcaan Clown Alkaline Over “Flopprize”
It seems as if Bounty Killer will not stop jeering Alkaline about the performance and quality of his Top Prize album any time soon.
The Warlord took his mockery over to the Unruly Boss Popcaan’s page on Sunday after the Vanquish artist posted a short video clip of himself donning a pair of glasses and captioned it: “Bomboclaat HEY!!!!”
“Popcaan not poppey’s wah tek sum flop fries/flop guys😂🤣🥲😁,” Bounty Killer wrote, in reference to Alkaline, whose album he had declared months ago as ‘Flopprize’ and ‘Flopfries’”.
The comment found favour with Popcaan, who gleefully rhymed: “@grunggaadzilla 😂😂😂😂😂 my G!! We make the haters them capsize” in reference to Alkaline, who had called his FIXTAPE album “Fishtape” after clashing with a Popcaan fan on Twitter in August last year.
Alkaline’s album Top Prize is so far the best-selling Dancehall album to be released in 2021, after debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in May. Both Bounty Killer and Popcaan are preparing to release new albums later this year and the number to beat is 1,527 copies sold in the first week and about 3,000 total units. Popcaan’s last album, FIXTAPE which featured Drake on two tracks, moved 686 copies and about 8,000 total units during its first week.
The animosity between Alkaline and Bounty Killer reportedly began in 2014, when Killer called out the Vendetta Boss for the “dirty” lines in Gyal Bruk Out, that said: “Tonight every gyal a turn a devil, Turna a dutty freak, turn a john crow”.
Alkaline then released a song titled Anywhere We Go in which he “dissed” Bounty Killer and Foota Hype, saying: “no gyal caan clown man dawg, afta mi nuh Killa or b-tyman Foota Hype”.
It was not until August 2018 that Bounty responded forcefully to Alkaline, declaring him “Dancehall’s biggest freakerzoid,” during an angry rant against Mavado. At the time, Bounty said the Gully artist clearly had no love or respect for him and the Alliance, as he had not only stopped “dealing” with Bling Dawg, Busy Signal and Wayne Marshall, but had betrayed him greatly, by joining forces with “disrespectful” Alkaline.
“Alkaline is Dancehall biggest freakerzide who dissed me outright and him Vado took under his wings ok so he shows the world that him don’t rate me anymore which is fine,” a seething Bounty Killer had reportedly written on Instagram at the time.
Not too long after, the “war” intensified after Bounty posted a screenshot of a DM from Alkaline where the Afterall artist told him to: “S-ck out yuh mumma yah b-tch,” to which Bounty had replied: “B-tch mi dissed you publicly WTF you doing in my DM you looking man be yourself and talk publicly or shut the pit under your nose.”
Bounty Killer then hurled invectives at the Ardenne High School old boy, continuing the longstanding feud which seems, will not come to an end until Alkaline apologises for the 2014 “diss”.
Alkaline’s feud with Popcaan had intensified in 2017, several years after he reportedly accused the Numbers Don’t Lie artist of “stealing his flow”. At the time Popcaan released Stray Dog supposedly aimed at Alkaline, who had released the explosive track, Microwave in which he referred to Popcaan as Flopcaan, “a likkle midget inna war” and other invectives, which effectively ended that lyrical “war”.
A few months ago Bounty Killer had again made it clear that he still had low regard for the Alkaline. He also labelled Alkaline’s album “Flopprize” and “Flopfries” and hurled insults at the Champion Boys’ fans who had stormed his Instagram page with a prolonged series of retaliatory, vengeful, and hostile remarks.
The attacks from the Vendetta fans had rained after the Coppershot artist declared that his Damion “Junior Gong” Marley-produced King of Kingston album, would eclipse and outshine all others.
Bounty has seized every opportunity to jeer Alkaline since then.
