Urban Islandz is quoting sources as saying that the dancehall sing-jay is unlikely to return to the island anytime soon because of fears for his safety.

Mavado left Jamaica three weeks ago for the US after he was shot at in Cassava Piece, and has remained here despite a warning from law enforcement officials to return to the island and turn himself in.

“A nuff [a lot] of things going on right now the place hot and it make sense the Gad [Mavado] just cool out a foreign until things cool down,” Urban Islandz quoted sources as saying. “Right now not even the police you can’t trust because a nuff a them a link with bad man and a plot against singer in secret. So, the best thing for him right now a just stay a foreign.”

Mavado’s attorney, Tamika Harris, also recently revealed that the singer wants to return to Jamaica but wants to avoid a media spectacle whenever he is doing so.

Meanwhile, the singer’s 16-year-old son and another man remain in jail without bond for the killing of Lorenzo Thomas, 23, who was shot, chopped and burnt inside his home just three days after Movado was shot at.
