The police have confirmed that Dancehall artist Skeng was removed from a flight at the Norman Manley International Airport at about 1:50 p.m Tuesday afternoon.
The 21-year-old artist, whose real name is Kevaun Douglas, was charged for disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest. He was offered bail and is to appear before the Kingston and St. Andrew court on June 21, 2022.
Skeng’s lawyer Christopher Townsend about the incident. “It was a simple thing that got outta hand.”
Skeng is scheduled to headline the Revival Return OF Dancehall event in Trinidad on May 28. Townsend said he is doing everything in his power to ensure his client is on the next flight for the event.
Townsend further remarked that “Skeng is an excellent artist, extremely talented, from what I know that is in the pipeline he is going to go very far.”
Skeng is the second most viewed artist in Jamaica on YouTube over the last 12 months, behind Chronic Law, according to the platform’s Music Charts. His single Protocol with Tommy Lee Sparta, which Nicki Minaj has hailed as the “baddest” song in years, has neared 25 million views on the platform.
