Mi nuh waan do nuh interview bout har because mi nuh know weh fi tell yuh. Yuh haffi find her and find out. Please call her.

Claude Mills, publicist for fusion singjay Davianah, is confirming that the artiste is okay.

This follows a viral video of the upcoming entertaine­r wearing a bloody T-shirt with drops of blood on the floor. In a since deleted post, she wrote “ready to go” as part of an eerie caption about enduring physical and mental abuse.

The post sent shockwaves to her fans on Sunday who were worried that the video reflected a suicide attempt. Mills denied this.

“I spoke to her this morning, she is okay,” Mills told THE STAR. “It wasn’t a suicide attempt. It’s not for a project, I asked her that specifical­ly. She told me that it was a case of physical, domestic abuse. She has not reported it to the police though.”

Not yet anyway as he added that his client intends to file a report.

The post reignited online conversati­ons of Davianah’s tumultuous journey in the music industry, which has mostly been dominated by her personal life instead of her music.

In 2019, the artiste accused her father, veteran singer Tony Rebel, of physical abuse. She also bashed his spouse Queen Ifrica. Her latest abuse claim saw some online users wondering if it was a family-related dispute, but when contacted by THE

STAR, Rebel made it clear that he has no details about his daughter’s current predicamen­t.

“Let me just tell you something, she’s 29 years old - she live wid har man and I don’t know where she live,” Rebel said.

“She don’t live near me so most likely she’s okay, I don’t know.”

He added: “Mi nuh waan do nuh interview bout har because mi nuh know weh fi tell yuh. Yuh haffi find her and find out. Please call her.”

Calls made to Davianah went unanswered.

The artiste should be releasing her five-track Bad One EP under her eponymous label any time soon. With every purchase of the EP, fans will receive free merchandis­e and a ticket to her virtual Bad One concert slated for this month.
