Jamaican dancehall star Valiant has given worried fans the reassurance they desperately wanted after being injured in a car crash, confirming that he is alive and recovering despite being left in considerable pain. The artiste revealed that he required multiple stitches following the frightening ordeal, but amid the injuries and shock, his message was one of gratitude: he survived, he is healing, and for his supporters, that is the news that matters most.
The artiste, whose given name is Raheem Bowes, shared photographs on his Instagram Story showing his hand bandaged following the accident. Images also appeared to show him wearing a neck brace, giving fans their first indication of the injuries he sustained.
Despite the frightening aftermath, Valiant delivered the message his supporters had been waiting to hear, telling followers he was “alive and well” while acknowledging that he was in “a lot of pain” and had “a lot of stitches.”
The dancehall entertainer also posted photographs of a badly damaged white vehicle, with the Jamaica Observer reporting that the images indicated the driver’s side had taken the brunt of the impact. The available reports do not specify exactly where the collision happened or provide detailed circumstances surrounding the crash.
For fans of Valiant, best known for tracks including “Dunce Cheque” and “Passenger Princess”, the most important news is that the Jamaican star survived and is recovering. What could have been a very different headline has instead become a message of relief as one of dancehall’s recognisable young voices tells supporters: he is hurt, but he is here.
