Bounty Killer and I are good - Iyara clears up rumours of a split

Dancehall artiste Iyara has lashed out at critics who are spreading rumours that he has parted ways with the Bounty Killer-led Alliance.

News of a split from the group has been circulating since it was announced that the artiste recently signed a management contract with a United States-based independent label.

However, in an interview with THE WEEKEND STAR, Iyara urged persons to stop spreading propaganda because his relationship with his mentor could do without the drama.

"I have been hearing the rumours in the streets since last week and mi want them to cease and desist with the bad energy, because me and the general good," an angry Iyara said. "These people ah try start a vibes because dem see Killer gone a Europe and mi never go, and dem see me go US and forward in and mi ting up and dem don't like see me strive, so dem ah build up a negative energy inna Alliance and ah talk say mi switch."

The deejay maintains that Bounty Killer is his "general for life" and he will always remain loyal to the 'Warlord'.

Ironically, Iyara recently recorded a new single called Loyalty. The song has only been previewed and there were plans to have it officially released this summer.

Those plans, however, are expected to change given the current 'drama'.

"Is not what happening right now make me do the song, but it fit wah a happen right now. Killer know say me and him good, and now me want the people dem fi know say a loyalty we say. It just come at the right time," he said. "We a go release the song soon because of this energy in the streets, and it a go fix the problem."

Iyara also revealed that he has an EP to release next Friday. Bounty Killer, Bunji Garlin and Wayne Wonder are on the project.

The EP, titled Proven, will be available on all digital platforms on the day.

"Di people dem a go see the growth of Iyara and dem a go see say me change in every way; lyrically, melodically, mature-wise. Unu a go see say Iyara really ready fi di world now," he said.
