Bounty Killer Mourns The Passing Of His Mother

DANCEHALL deejay Rodney ‘Bounty Killer’ Pryce, says he is coping very well after losing his mother on Sunday morning. The artist attributes his well being to the overwhelming support he says he has been receiving from fans all over the globe.

“The love and support I’ve been receiving is immense. Globally people are showing they care, especially my fans on Twitter and Facebook and all the other networks.  I know people love me and my mom but it was so surprising to the amount,” he said in BB response to the Observer.

While there are many memories the deejay will have of his mother he says the one thing he will treasure the most about her is the wealth of knowledge she imparted to him and his siblings.

Ringing in his ears also will be the best advise she has ever given it and that’s “to know that there is a God and there isn’t anything that faith cannot fix.”

For Bounty he will miss her love and care as he says during every crisis in his life, she has always been there for him.

“Every moment spent with her was memorable and amusing. Ask anybody that knows her she is the greatest mom and not just for me but for everyone that ever come in contact with her,” he said of the woman everyone fondly refers to as Miss Ivy.
