LA Lewis gets death threats based on praising the British Link Up crew in Jamaica.

Since the killings of the British Link Up associates Roy Fowl and Oney British within the month of February and March, gangsters have warned the dancehall artist to avoid speaking on the crew or else the artist himself will end up dead too. Lewis did an interview with a colleague of Roy Fowl who was partying with the dancehall socialite prior to being killed in February. In March, the dancehall deejay spoke on the passing of Oney British among social media.

LA Lewis is currently making the threats public now from thugs who have stated that they are behind the murders. The deejay made it clear that he is not backing from the threats. “I am not going to back down,” he expressed. “I will not stop big up the British them or speak on burning issues because if I should just stop talking, it would mean that Marcus Garvey’s fight for freedom of speech in vain. If I am to die today, my children will know that I died for what I believed in.”

Regardless of not backing down, Lewis is still frightful about his life in which he admitted. “I am fearful for my life in some way because a threat is serious, but I am not going to stop doing what I am doing it,” he stated.

LA Lewis also expressed how he was approached by a gunman at an occasion in the Richmond and Waltham Park in Kingston, Jamaica. The man brushed him with a gun and told him to stop speaking on the British Link Up crew or else he will die.
