Dancehall Artist Chronic Law Reportedly Detained Again in United States

2 min read

Jamaican dancehall artist Chronic Law, whose given name is Ackeem Campbell, has reportedly been taken into custody in the United States.

Reports indicate the detention took place in South Florida. Word circulating in entertainment circles links the hold to a firearm. Campbell had been in Miami for a performance.

This would be the second time United States authorities have detained him. The earlier incident involved ICE holding him over an immigration matter.

A Republican junior Congressman said, "These are exactly the kind of people we don't want in America. We want upstanding law-abiding citizens. Jamaica has a huge crime problem, and we don't want it imported here. We negotiated with Ambassador Marks and came to an understanding, which we hear is causing controversy in Jamaica. She signed it and Ambassador Marks can show you all the MOU and the plans she brought to us. Jamaica is a friend to the United States and said it would gladly help with our TCN situation."

A spokesperson representing Chronic Law said, "At this time, I ask the public, members of the media, and fans to remain calm and allow the legal process to take its course. Our legal team is actively handling the matter, and I have full confidence that it will be addressed through the appropriate legal channels. Out of respect for the ongoing legal proceedings, we will not be making any further comments at this time. I kindly ask everyone to refrain from speculation or the spread of unverified information while this matter is being addressed. Chronic Law and our entire team sincerely appreciate the continued love, prayers, and unwavering support from fans around the world. We ask for your patience as we allow the legal process to unfold, and updates will be provided if and when it is appropriate to do so."
