After Hurricane Melissa: A Call for Jamaica’s Stars to Stand Up for Their Fans

In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica is reeling. Entire communities have been left in ruins, homes flattened, roads destroyed, and countless families displaced. From Portland to Clarendon, Kingston to St. Mary, the island carries the deep scars of one of the most devastating storms in recent memory. Yet even as the rain subsides and the floodwaters begin to recede, one truth remains clear — Jamaica’s greatest strength has always been its people. And right now, those people need help more than ever. This is a call, not to the government or to politicians, but to the sons and daughters of Jamaica who have risen to fame and fortune. To the entertainers, influencers, athletes, and public figures — both at home and abroad — the time has come to stand up for your fans. These are the same people who streamed your music day and night, who wore your brand, who shared your posts, who prayed for you when you were just starting out.

“From Freedom to Firearm: Mavado’s Son Dantay Brooks Can’t Seem to Dodge Trouble—Is It Time for a Proper Kunk?”

by Tracyann Dunkley | Entertainment Watch

Just months after clawing his way out of a life sentence, Dantay Brooks—son of dancehall titan David “Mavado” Brooks—is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The ink barely dry on his overturned murder conviction, Dantay now faces fresh charges of unlawful wounding, assault at common law, and possession of a prohibited weapon stemming from a July incident in Cassava Piece. The same gritty Kingston community that birthed his father’s legacy is now threatening to bury his son’s future. It’s a bitter déjà vu that raises the question: is this just bad luck, or is Dantay writing his own tragic script?

Meanwhile, Mavado, who only recently returned to Jamaican soil after years in exile, is poised to reclaim his throne on the dancehall stage. But just as the Gully Gad prepares to reignite his career, his son’s legal woes threaten to cast a long, dark shadow over his comeback. 

Is Dantay sabotaging not just himself, but his father’s long-awaited redemption arc? Or is this a generational curse playing out in real time? Either way, the timing couldn’t be worse. The streets are whispering, and the whispers are turning into roars—“Di bwoy need a proper kunk!” (Translation: The boy needs a serious wake-up call to set him straight).

YouTuber Terro Don gives his take: explicit language used 

In a culture where legacy is everything, Dantay’s actions feel like a slap in the face to the very foundation his father bled to build. Is it rebellion, recklessness, or just the weight of a name too heavy to carry? The Brooks saga is starting to read like a Shakespearean tragedy set to a dancehall riddim. And if Dantay doesn’t wise up soon, he might not just be burning his own future—he could be torching the bridge back home for his father too.
