The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) has launched an investigation into how Dancehall entertainer Intence was able to secure an official land variation digital combat uniform (DCU).
The Yeng Badness deejay, real name Tashawn George Gabbidon, uploaded a photo on Friday decked out in the military uniform via Instagram in what appears to be the set of an official music video.
The photo racked up over 30,000 likes on the artiste’s IG account and a slew of comments, however Intence has since deleted the evidence following news of a pending investigation.
Intence, wearing the uniform is punishable by law under Jamaica’s Defence Act, and could see the entertainer along with the owner of the digital combat uniform (DCU) being fined and possibly facing some jail time.
“Look here, that man (Intence) has to go to prison! Prison! And anybody who gave it to him, prison! That uniform is supposed to be worn by JDF soldiers only. And they need to hold him, rub him and make him tell them where he got the uniform from. It is simple. Because obviously someone gave it to him… maybe one of those guys that they dismissed kept the uniform. It is criminal to wear the army uniform, right,” a senior military officer told Dancehall Magazine.
