Veteran recording artist Ninja Man is getting tons of support from the Dancehall community following his arrest last week.
The Don Gorgon was arrested on Tuesday after a judge denied his attorney application for a stay in his decade-old murder case. High court judge, Justice Martin Gayle, issued a warrant for the artist’s arrest and ordered the trial to immediately commence in the Home Circuit Court in Kingston.
Since Ninja Man’s arrest, several dancehall artists took to social media to show their support.
