Three hours later she posted on her Instagram stories a video confirming her destination with a group of friends, as she toasted, “We bout to have fu–ing fun and we bout to let our motherf–king hair down and cheers to a safe time in Jamaica.”
Upon reaching the island they were whisked away via luxury shuttle to a lavish undisclosed location. Unable to contain herself, she basked in the island’s secret beauty as she gave her fans a tour of her room and the larger-than-life bathrooms at a private house near the beach.
“Look at my roooom, private jacuzzi, wow the pictures…yow this house though? Look at this shit though. This sh-t different,” she said as it started to rain. “This sh-t too fire, worth every penny and I’ll do it again.”
“It’s the pirate chef for me,” she added. “Yo y’all b-tches ain’t ever come to Jamaica like this though. Let’s talk about it”.

As and her crew were about to leave the island, the American YouTuber and Gregory Wright, a member of her entourage, were both charged by police in Jamaica with the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, after two guns and 15 rounds total were found before their departure.
A source in the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) confirmed with World Music Views that “while preparing to depart the island, two persons were found to have been in possession of two 9mm pistols.”
The were both charged and pleaded guilty to separate counts of illegal possession of a firearm.
The pair paid the fines of approximately $5,300 USD each to avoid the jail time imposed on two popular Dancehall artists, who also pleaded guilty to the same charges over the last year.
Jayda’s attorney Michael Hemmings told Radio Jamaica that she will be paying the fine before departing the island. He also told the The Gleaner that Jayda Cheaves got no special treatment in having her case swiftly handled by the court.
