Cops Want To Question Silk Boss Over His Alleged Assault In Viral Video

The St. Catherine South police have taken note of multiple videos circulating on various social media platforms indicating an assault on an entertainer, Mr. Rohan Reid, popularly known as ‘Silk Boss’. 

A release issued by the Corporate Communications Unit (CCU) said investigators are also aware of documented events and a subsequent video interview given by Mr. Reid.

Earlier this week, a viral video showed the Mankind singer being slapped and beaten by two masked men, who recorded the assault and presumably leaked it on the Internet. 

In the leaked video, two masked men corner Silk Boss against a wall, and slapped him several times, bloodying his mouth. The deejay is overheard pleading: “Duh bro … please”, beseeching them to halt the assault.

In his interview with producer and YouTuber Terro Don, the Rocky Road artist said the men were armed and had threatened to kill him.

Silk Boss told his ex-manager Terro Don that he was sabotaged and robbed by the men, who he referred to as “friends”.  The men allegedly robbed him of J$1.4 million, which he intended to use to purchase a car last month.

“Dawg yuh know say a robbery gwan dawg. Mi ah save fi buy mi car, ah mi owna fren dem — the video weh you see a gwan (viral video) — ah mi owna frend dem bro,” Silk Boss told Terro Don.

Silk Boss’ pregnant girlfriend, Brii, was also allegedly assaulted.

The deejay identified the men as the ones he referred to as “Gulfside” in a recent song.

“Ah me and dem a par. Down to di stage show, down to weh day when mi do the song and mi ah say, “Yo Gulfside ah weh do dem likkle boy yah,’ and you hear mi call few man name, ah dem same man deh in a di video rob mi bro … Yeah rob dem rob mi. Dem rob mi the money wah mi go use buy mi car bro.”

Silk Boss said he had secured JA $1.4 million while working in Canada a few weeks ago. Upon returning to Jamaica, decided he’d put the money towards purchasing BMW as opposed to a Mark X that he previously considered.

In light of this interview, the police are urging Mr. Reid to make contact with detectives at the Portmore Police immediately. He may visit the station, which is located on Braeton Parkway in Portmore, St. Catherine. Alternatively, they may be contacted at 876-949-8422.
