The Prosecution in Jah Cure’s stabbing case has appealed the court’s ruling that the Reggae artist be acquitted on the attempted murder charge, and a date has been set for a hearing.

Jah Cure was convicted on March 22 on the lesser charge of attempted manslaughter in a judges-only trial after several damning voice notes and text messages were entered into evidence by prosecutors. In the voice notes, Jah Cure had expressed that he would kill the promoter over money owed to him.

Jah Cure, real name Siccaturie Alcock, was sentenced to six years in prison for the attempted manslaughter charge, but the conviction was appealed by the country’s Public Prosecution Service, which wants Cure to be sentenced to eight years in jail for attempted murder.

On Tuesday, a pro forma hearing was set for January 24. The hearing, according to Jamaica Observer, will be to review the artist’s continued detention. The reggae singer has been in a European jail since his arrest in October 2021, for wounding a Jamaican born promoter in Amsterdam.

“The pro forma hearing is scheduled from 11:10 to 11:20 hrs. The decision usually follows the same day,” press officer of the public prosecution to the Court of Appeals, Tuscha Essed, told the Jamaican newspaper.

In the meantime, Jah Cure’s legal team has also appealed the sentence. His attorney filed an appeal last June to have the number of years reduced. The father of one had not addressed the stabbing incident until recently, when he issued an apology to his fans.

In an interview with the Jamaica Gleaner about his upcoming 11-track LP, Undeniable, the artist said, “my message to my fans is I apologize for this situation I get myself caught up in. I would like to give this album to you as a special gift from me to you.”

The upcoming LP would be his ninth studio album. Jah Cure is widely regarded as one of the greatest singers reggae music has ever seen, but his legal troubles since he was a teenager cast a cloud over his promising career.

If Dutch prosecutors have their way in court, the artist could spend close to a decade in prison.

Valiant Reflects On His Meteoric Rise To Stardom In “Bruk Days” Video

Valiant gets into a reflective mood in his new music video “Bruk Days.”

The clip is the first music video since the start of the year for the young dancehall artist who had a meteoric rise in dancehall last year thanks to his melodic and edgy style that gave birth to a slew of hits in the last quarter of the year. Valiant is undoubtedly among the top dancehall artist to watch in 2023 as he is poised for a major international push.

The Kinggcam-directed cut saw the Spanish Town deejay sitting on the beach in the night, looking out at sea. With a spliff in hand, Valiant dons a white button-down shirt, khaki pants, a baseball cap, and a pair of black Wallabee Clarks. The deejay is also famous for wearing some of the most unique Clarks kicks in the game.

“You should a bad mind me inna me bruk days/ Mommy house upstairs/ Me know she nah complain/ Yeah complain/ I’m glad I’m a driver I’m still a survivor/ A wull heap a fight when you arise/ But a prayer’s a fight back yes/ There is pain in my eye/ I’m still reading my smile/ I know them yah heart dirty and it hurt me,” Valiant rhymes over a catchy beat produced by Sponge Music.

In another segment of the music video, Valiant associates delivered to him a Louis Vuitton bag full of cash, which he counted after enjoying some refreshments and hanging with his crew outside.

In an interview with Urban Islandz last year, Valiant shares his plans to grow his career and push dancehall internationally.

“Being a dancehall artist, I want to get dancehall music more recognized globally meaning on every chart and in every corner of the world. A lot [of] new artists inspire me to keep consistent and bring our new form of dancehall music called trap dancehall to the world at large,” the deejay told us.

Gucci Mane’s Wife Keyshia Ka’oir Shares Receipts He Paid Big Scarr’s Funeral Bill

Gucci Mane continues to experience fallout from Big Scarr’s family members who are labeling serious accusations against him.

Keyshia Ka’oir responded to the family of late artist Big Scarr who bashed him and claimed that he reneged on a promise to pay for the artist’s death and then asked back for the chains the artist received along with his signing bonus.

Big Scarr died on December 22, 2022, reportedly from an accidental prescription drug overdose. Over the weekend, his family accused his label 1017 Global Music’s boss, Gucci Mane, of reneging on a promise to assist with the funeral expenses and even asking back for the chains the rapper was given on his signing.

According to the brother of Big Scarr, the artist promised to pay for the funeral expenses, but Gucci Mane blocked the family.

“You dead wrong, when pops and them called you, you the one who told them folks you gon pay for the funeral. You told them you gon pay for everything. The minute them folk called you you blocked them. It’s not real, you lying straight. Come on now cuz,” the man said on Instagram Live.

The relative added that the artist also asked back for the chains, but they will not be handing it over.

“You only trying to act all real. You posted Scarr talking about some loan he had bruh …You ain’t getting them chains. It aint no way you getting them chains. Come on now fool you tripping. You thought we gon let that go?”

He added, “Bro when they text you and asked you about the funeral, you told them folks that Keyshia birthday coming up…You ain’t even text and check on the family but you texted about some chains.”

The family has been insistent that they will not hand over the chains. At the time of his death, Big Scarr, whose real name is Alexander Woods, had been recovering from a gunshot injury he received in 2020, which resulted in a bullet connecting with his hip and traveling up his spinal cord.

The artist had to get hip surgery and an appendectomy to remove the bullet.

On Sunday, his sister Alexandra Woods shared a photo of her wearing the rapper’s chains.

“Get it back in blood!! My brother earned TS #LLstank,” she wrote on Instagram, posing with the chains on her neck.

Meanwhile, Keyshia Ka’oir on Monday shared a receipt for $10,000 that was sent to a funeral home – N.J Ford & Sons Funeral on December 30.

“Payment directly to funeral home! Leave my husband alone!” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

“He did this out of the goodness of his heart!” she said, adding that Gucci had even sent flowers to the family but “not even a thank U.”

The family has not responded to Keyshia’s funeral receipt as yet.
