Reggae-dancehall artiste Bunny General is recuperating at home after suffering a serious health scare last week that required doctors to revive him following what he described as "heart failure."
The veteran entertainer was rushed to the Medical Associates Hospital in St. Andrew, where he was stabilized.
“I am still taking medication, it was kinda scary. I was at home when it happened, I was conscious through the whole thing, cracking jokes with the doctors while they restarted my heart,” Bunny General told reporters.
He said he had been feeling a persistent “heaviness in his chest” for several weeks but had brushed it off, unaware it could signal something serious. “There were no major warning signs that something was wrong,” he said.
Last week, he shared a video from his hospital bed, hooked up to an ECG machine, expressing concern about the recent wave of illnesses affecting people and giving thanks for life. “From wah day ya everybody just a get sick,” he said in the video, ending with a note of faith in God’s guidance and protection.
Despite the ordeal, Bunny General said his upcoming performances in the Caribbean will go ahead as planned. “This episode won’t affect my ability to perform,” he assured fans.
Bunny General is known for tracks like Full Up a Class and Love Reggae Music Bad, and remains a respected voice in Jamaica’s reggae-dancehall scene.
