Gully Bop Hospitalized Following Surgery

Dancehall viral sensation Gully Bop is currently hospitalzed after doing a corrective surgery for hernia.

Sources close to the “Dem Nuh Bad Like Me” deejay told Urban Islandz that he is in stable condition and doctors are closely monitoring him following a successful surgery.

“Bop is good and to all the fans who are concerned I can assure you that he is doing okay,” the source told us.

Gully Bop’s booking agent and head of Supreme Promotions also confirmed the surgery.

“Gully Bop is at the Medical Associates hospital to undergo surgery to repair his hernia. He has had the condition for quite some time and he has to deal with it so that’s why we made a conscious decision not to do any bookings for him for January. He has to correct the problem to deal with the hustle and bustle that will come later this year,” Laing said.

Gully Bop and his fiancée Shauna Chin are expecting their first child together.

Gully Bop released from hospital after surgery

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Dancehall’s newest sensation Gully Bop was on Tuesday released from hospital following a minor surgery to remove a hernia.

“He went in on Sunday and came out today,” manager and promoter Isaiah Laing told OBSERVER ONLINE Tuesday evening.

“The operation was successful [and] he’s home resting.”

Sting’s boss said because of the surgery his schedule had to be altered.

“That’s why we didn’t book any shows for him in January. We knew this was coming. He’s good to go for next month. He’ll hit back the road again in February,” Laing added.

Gully Bop/Countryman became an Internet sensation after a video of him freestyling lyrics to his song, Dem no Bad Like Me, went viral.

The song was later remixed by Claims Records and released in November.

Dancehall’s man of the moment released a new single earlier this month in what was a response to recent allegations from his former record label, Claims Records.

The single, titled Drop Mi, features rapper Imari and sums up Gully Bop’s version of the events leading up to him parting ways with the label.
