Gambian artist who was reportedly  Incarcerated or remanded at Mile II, Alieu Jobe, known to many as Myk Jayda, goes free.

Following his release, the artists on Wednesday stated on his Facebook timeline: “Alhamdullilah three times. The king is back. Who is ready?”

The artist also posted a picture of Steve Trawally, Scorpions’ forward, on which he wrote: “The real reason I got outa jail.”

“Gibou Bala Gaye ‘Gee’ heard that I was in trouble. He didn’t even really know what was going on. He linked with my people and sent me a 100K [100,000]. You don’t see that every day,” he also stated terming Gee as a great individual.

The artist however hit back at social media pages and sites, saying: “Fake pages posting fake stories about me on stuff they know nothing about, just for coupla likes and comments, creating a fake ‘Go Fund Me" in my name without my approval just to make me look bad and scam people, then keep the money for themselves.

He added that he would rather be behind bars than to approve a “shit like that”.

“I will never fit the box yoall tryna put me in. I’m too solid so yoall can never see me fold.”

The artist also promised that he would be having an interview soon on what really transpired, adding: “Only Myk Jayda can narrate the Myk Jayda story. Everything else is cap. It is that simple.”
