Bounty Killer’s Brooklyn sold-out concert was a dancehall fashion parade

By Anthony Turner

Bounty Killer’s sold-out concert return to Brooklyn at the iconic Barclays Center wasn’t just a celebration of music—it was a full-blown fashion parade.

The Warlord headlined a powerhouse lineup featuring dancehall giants Mavado, Aidonia, Masicka, Dexta Daps, Richie Stephens, Elephant Man, Charly Black, Jr. Reid, and more. But while the performances lit up the stage, the style game burned just as bright.

The high rollers came out in full force. The fashionistas were dressed to kill.

Dexta Daps arrived backstage with a confident grin, declaring that he felt certain he’d walk away with the title of best-dressed artist. And he didn’t disappoint. In a sleek, tailored fit, Dexta exuded effortless swag—just what fans have come to expect from the ladies’ favorite crooner.

Richie Stephens, however, was impossible to ignore. Turning heads from the moment he stepped out, the veteran singer rocked a custom baby blue two-piece suit with knee-length pants, white lapels, and a silver brooch. Topped with a wide-brimmed felt hat and crisp white ankle boots, the ensemble was bold, dapper, and stylish. One fan quipped it was louder than ’24 Stone Love speaker boxes’ —and they weren’t wrong.

Elephant Man, true to form, showed up like royalty. Dressed in a black-and-gold ensemble that matched his high-energy persona, the Energy God made a bold statement: “Image is everything,” he declared! On that night, he more than lived up to it.

And then came the man of the moment—Bounty Killer himself. Dressed in a commanding all-black outfit and a wide-brimmed black fedora, the Warlord exuded militant authority and flair.

KipRich also made his mark in a head-turning, high-end look that could easily be mistaken for a million-dollar fit. But with all that fashion firepower, one question lingered: Which performer really took the crown for best dressed?

Opinions vary, but one voice stood out—Sherry South Tyme, popular vlogger and host of Jairie Radio in New York. A fashionista in her own right, she weighed in on Facebook with a verdict that turned heads:

“Sparks, sequins, and shimmery everything were the order of the night. From legends to new-gen stars, the artistes showed up and showed out.”

About Bounty Killer, she gushed:

“The man of the hour! He stepped out in a commanding all-black ensemble, elevated with a gold-and-black statement jacket and topped off with a wide-brimmed black fedora. Iconic presence. Iconic style. No question—he owned the stage.”

She also applauded Dexta Daps, Wilful Skilful, Elephant Man, and I-Octane for their silver-and-black fits:

“It was a night for bold choices, and these kings understood the assignment,” she said.

But when it came to fashion’s top prize, Sherry didn’t hesitate:

“Hands down, the night belonged to Richie Stephens. Though introduced as ‘Richard’ (yes, some folks were confused 😅), once he hit the stage, there was no mistaking him. Every detail was on point. He understood the assignment—and then rewrote the rubric.”

So, while the music rocked Brooklyn, one thing was clear: Dancehall came dressed to impress. Guess Mr Wack was right. Style a style and style caan spoil.
