Silk Boss Fails To Turn Himself In To Cops, Makes Alternative Arrangements

Silk Boss did not turn himself in to the St. Catherine South police at the midday deadline on Monday. However, the Mankind deejay contacted the cops to make alternative arrangements.

“He made contact with us and his lawyer also made contact. The necessary arrangements have been made,” senior superintendent Christopher Phillips, commanding officer of the St. Catherine South police, told Dancehall Mag. 

Over the weekend, the Dancehall artist, whose real name is Rohan Reid, had been asked to report to the Portmore Criminal Investigations Branch by midday on Monday.

The St Catherine South Police said that their investigators had taken note of videos circulating on social media which showed Silk Boss being assaulted by masked men.

The police also said they were also aware of certain documented events and a subsequent interview given by Silk Boss where he reportedly suggested that the perpetrators of the act were from ‘Gulfside’ in Gregory Park, St. Catherine.

In a recent interview with Winford Williams on Onstage TV, the deejay said he would speak to the police if they contacted him.

“If them contact me, yeah, if them ask me a question, me and them would talk…but at the end of the day, mi nah go to nuh police,” Silk Boss said during the interview.

Silk Boss is known for the singles Mankind, Surgery and his most recent single, Sorry, which has racked up over 700,000 views since its release over the weekend.
