A’mari recently did an interview with The Star where she reveals that her new song titled “Neko” is about her ex-lover Gully Bop.
The entertainer stated that she wrote the song in 2016, which was shortly after they broke apart. “Things were so horrific between us that I didn’t want to use his name because just the mention of his name would start an argument online. There were no words to describe my pain than ‘Yuh mash up mi life’. When I saw what I became, including being homeless and living in a shelter, those were just the words that came into my mind,” A’mari said.
Gully Bop gained famed after a video of one his freestyles went viral and by 2015, he had secured work permits for the US, UK and several Caribbean islands. He was a ladies and A’mari was among his companions.
A’mari also noted that even though she takes jabs at Gully Bop during the track, she is still in love with regardless of the people telling her to move on, “Persons became frustrated with me calling Gully Bop name all the time and was encouraging me to move on with my life so I used the name ‘Neko’. I, however, needed time to heal and the song was just my way to cry out for Gully Bop without persons knowing who I was speaking about,” she noted.
A’mari said that she loved Gully Bop to the point where she even invested over US$35, 000 in his personal life and his career. She thinks that she was taken for granted.
“He is a good person and we were really a team but he just had too many people in his ears. I was his manager but I was cut out of a lot of things. Persons told a lot of lies on me and did their best at turning his mind away from me,” DJ Monalisa stated.
“He is one that always reach out to persons who are suffering from poverty. He is one that will never allow a baby to go without milk and he loves animals. I love to give and he loves to give and it makes us feel good,” she said. Her voice cracked as she spoke about becoming depressed from the constant bullying on social media.” she added.
“There was this one time when they had a funeral for me online. They buried me and persons called in and say ‘ashes to ashes’. I never knew that persons could be so gruesome. No matter what I did, no one, especially women, had any compassion for me. Another time they took a head shot of me and put it on the body of a gorilla and it made rounds on social media. That was one of the reason that I did a bariatric surgery where I lost over 70 pounds,” she said. A’mari apologised to Gully Bop for how she handled certain things.” she continued.
“The only time I was ever really happy was when I was with you . When I step out, I still feel like I still represent you and I pray for the day when we are back together. Gully Bop is a legend and your name lives on forever and I am your lucky charm,” A’mari stated.
