There were several users who expressed understanding about Aidonia’s infrequent contributions to Dancehall over the last few years.

“While the media a criticize n a bring down Donia about not dropping music n shit. That man was busy fighting his silent battles. This really taught all of us not to judge and be kind to each other. RIP lil man.. condolences to Aidonia and Kim,” @chocolatesnooks wrote.
Aidonia, 41, whose real name is Sheldon Lawrence, emerged in the early 2000s and is a former member of Bounty Killer’s Alliance. He’s known for songs such as Pon Di C-cky, Pretty Please, Nuh Boring Gyal, Jook So, and Yeah Yeah.
The deejay tied the knot with Kimberly Megan in September 2016, after a four-year engagement. King Kahlif was three years old at the time.
