Jamaican dancehall artist Andrew Kendrick Davis, popularly known as Flippa Moggela or Flippa Mafia, is once again facing serious drug trafficking allegations in the United States, only four years after his release from prison in a previous federal drug case.
Federal prosecutors in New Jersey have charged Davis alongside Damion Jones, Clifford Brown, and James McBride in a drug conspiracy case involving methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine.
According to the criminal complaint, the men are accused of conspiring to possess and distribute at least 500 grams of methamphetamine, at least 400 grams of fentanyl, and at least five kilograms of cocaine between August 2025 and May 2026.
Investigators said Davis became linked to the alleged drug trafficking operation on August 18, 2025, when surveillance cameras allegedly captured him dropping off a heavy bag at Jones’s residence and leaving approximately two minutes later carrying an empty bag.
Two days later, authorities searched a storage unit connected to Jones and reportedly seized more than 5,300 grams of methamphetamine, nearly one kilogram of fentanyl, as well as carfentanil, xylazine, and a suspected cutting agent.
Federal agents also cited evidence allegedly recovered from Davis’ Apple iCloud account, including an August 1 video showing him filming bags of suspected narcotics and photographs of shipping labels. Prosecutors said one of the labels matched a FedEx package intercepted in Pennsylvania containing five pounds of methamphetamine and one kilogram of cocaine.
As part of the investigation, a judge authorized the interception of communications from two phones allegedly used by Davis. Prosecutors said the intercepted conversations included exchanges with an unidentified woman and discussions with his co-defendants.
The investigation culminated on May 9 when law enforcement officers observed a U.S. Postal Service employee deliver a package mailed from California to a home under surveillance. Authorities later executed search warrants at multiple locations.
At a residence on Oak Lane, investigators allegedly recovered about 10 pounds of suspected methamphetamine and two kilograms of suspected cocaine. More than one kilogram of suspected cocaine was also reportedly seized from McBride’s residence.
The complaint alleges the drugs recovered at the Oak Lane property included methamphetamine that Davis had intended to supply to Jones for further distribution.
Davis appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ann Marie Donio on Monday after the charges were unsealed. He remains in the custody of the United States Marshal pending a bail hearing scheduled for May 14 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The “Dem Yah” deejay previously served several years in prison following his 2016 conviction in a major U.S. drug trafficking and money laundering investigation known as Operation Next Day Air. Although he was sentenced to 25 years in prison, Davis was released early in 2022 and later resumed his music career, releasing tracks including Inna Mi Zone and Own Don in 2025.
