Bounty Killer Shows Love to Beenie Man’s Upcoming Concert in NYC: “Unity We Say!”

 In a rare and commendable show of unity, dancehall icon Bounty Killer took to Instagram to express support for fellow legend Beenie Man’s highly anticipated return to New York City this Saturday, May 24th at UBS Arena — his first performance in NYC in 13 years.

Bounty posted the following message to his Instagram, and it’s making waves throughout the dancehall community:

“Mi nuh inna di Beenie thing bcuz mi a big man despite whatever. So bcuz a Unity we say and we all want to see Dancehall maintain its global presence worldwide, let’s keep the momentum going. Every arena, stadium, or Palladium should be full. If you’re around or in the NY area, y’all go out and support our music and culture — all music lovers — bcuz one artiste don’t make up Dancehall. Kaboooooom!”

This message isn’t just powerful because of who said it — it’s powerful because of what it represents. For decades, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man have defined the competitive spirit of dancehall with lyrical clashes and historic performances. But today, Bounty is reminding fans that the bigger picture is preserving the culture and pushing unity — not rivalry.

As Beenie Man prepares to headline a massive Memorial Weekend concert at UBS Arena, with a star-studded lineup including Christopher Martin, Lyrikal, Louie Culture, Kevin Lyttle, and more, Bounty’s message adds a cultural stamp of approval to what is already shaping up to be a legendary night for reggae and dancehall music.

His call to action — encouraging fans in New York and beyond to show up and support — is a reminder that the genre's global momentum depends not only on artists, but on fans, promoters, DJs, and the entire Caribbean diaspora standing together.
