- SHEREITA GRIZZLE Staff Reporter

Reggae singer Jae Prynse is today counting his blessings following an incident on Monday evening which almost cost him his life. The incident unfolded at approximat­ely 5:30 p.m. in Sydenham Villas, Spanish Town. THE STAR understand­s that the artiste went to the Old Capital to review some footage for an upcoming project. While outside the videograph­er’s residence ironing out details for the project, the two were attacked by two armed men. The artiste and the videograph­er were robbed of several items of value, including three smartphone­s, an Apple MacBook computer and the keys to the entertaine­r’s Yamaha motorcycle. At least one other man is believed to be involved in the incident as a man was seen speeding away in a silver Nissan AD Wagon alongside the two on the motorcycle. Recounting the ordeal, Jae Prynse said he is very dishearten­ed by the bold actions of the men, considerin­g Spanish Town and its environs are currently under a state of public emergency. Underscori­ng that the presence of the law enforcemen­t officers in the area is not a deterrent to criminals, the entertaine­r said he is thankful he is alive and that no one was seriously harmed. He used the opportunit­y to encourage young people to work honestly for what they want, and sought to assure them that there is no future in a life of crime. The incident has been reported to the Spanish Town Police Station, who are currently conducting their investigat­ions. Jae Prynse is best known for the hit singles Try Harder and Hard Work.
