‘Mafia’ defends Bolt’s money

‘Mafia’ defends Bolt’s money

AS Jamaica continues to closely follow media reports involving the missing US$12.7 million from Usain Bolt’s investment account at Stocks and Securities Ltd (SSL), deejay Don Mafia has added his voice to the hot-button debate with the song Bolt Money.

“I was just thinking how sad it is for one of our legends to lose his money like that and I had to express my feelings in music because it hurts deep down,” the entertainer, whose given name is Carl Udah, told the Jamaica Observer‘s Splash.

The yet-to-be released single is produced by the Morais Brown-owned Mo Mo Music Label. It is making the rounds on social media.

Attorneys representing the Olympian, in a letter dated January 16, 2023, demanded that the Corporate Area-based investment firm return US$12.7 million to his account on or before January 27 to avoid civil and criminal action.

The letter, signed by attorney Linton Gordon of the firm Frater, Ennis and Gordon, stated that up to October 31, 2022 the balance in Bolt’s account was US$12,758,181.74.

“We are now frighteningly instructed that mysteriously our client’s said account has been depleted, leaving a balance of US$12,047.65,” the attorney said.

Don Mafia, who hails from St Mary, wrote Bolt Money in quick time.

“No lyrics is hard for me to write. Once I think about the topic, the song is coming,” he said.

Some of his previous tracks include Gold Rush, Still Alive, and Build Back Jamaica.

Considered the greatest sprinter of all time, Bolt is an eight-time Olympic gold medallist who retired in 2017.

He is one of the wealthiest sportsmen with a net worth of US$90m, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Bolt has immersed himself in music production. He has several compilation albums to his credit including Usain Bolt Presents: 9.58 Riddim; Usain Bolt Presents: Clockwork Riddim; and Country Yutes.
