Skillibeng dismisses rumours he was involved in bike accident

Sources close to dancehall artiste Skillibeng are dismissing false reports that the Crocodile Teeth deejay was involved in a bike accident.

A short video circulating on social media shows a man bearing some resemblance to the entertainer attempting a stunt atop a motorbike. As the bike surges forward and the front wheel is lifted in the air, the rider is thrown from the bike.

He is seen hitting the pavement as curious onlookers rush to assist.

Well aware of the footage now going viral, a source from EastSyde Records, the home base of Skillibeng,  told THE STAR that the man in the video is not Skillibeng.

No other details were given, but Skillibeng also sought to dispel rumours when he appeared in a brief Instagram live last night to address the viral video.

"Unu nuh know if a me, but unu a say a me," said the dancehall artiste.

He said he is aware that some would love the rumours to be true. "Di [expletive] dem wah see me dead, but hear wah," he said, before lighting spliff and playing one of his new tracks.
