Dancehall Artiste Chronic Law Details FBI Encounters as He Denies Giving Information on Rival Gangs

Dancehall artiste Chronic Law has directly challenged claims attributed to an FBI agent that he previously provided information which was later used in investigations involving alleged rival gang members.

In his second social media statement on Thursday, the St Thomas native gave his version of his interactions with the agent, maintaining that he did not “snitch” and questioning portions of testimony reportedly given during his federal court proceedings.

Chronic Law, whose given name is Ackeme Jermane Campbell, remains in US federal custody after pleading not guilty to a firearm charge. He was denied bail and ordered to remain in the custody of US Marshals while awaiting trial.

His latest response followed reporting on a transcript from his July 9 bail hearing. According to the material provided, FBI agent Andrew Nelson testified that Campbell had referred during a post-Miranda conversation to previously sharing information with him.

Nelson was reportedly asked whether Campbell’s alleged information had resulted in further action.

“I just took whatever conversation we had and I ran with it and continued my investigation,” the agent said, according to the transcript. He also reportedly told the court that he had since made arrests involving people from rival gangs.

When questioned about whether he attempted to register Campbell as a confidential source, Nelson answered that he had not. He also said he never asked the entertainer whether he wanted to become one.

Campbell strongly disputed the picture presented by that testimony.

“You only saw me TWICE, bro,” he wrote on Instagram, claiming his first encounter with the agent was on January 12 when he was taken into US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.

Campbell alleged that the agent told him he could avoid remaining in detention if he provided information. The entertainer argued that he subsequently spent approximately three to four months detained, which he believes contradicts suggestions that he cooperated.

He claimed his next encounter with the agent did not occur until July 5.

“So how mi fi supposedly do a post Miranda interview wid you in February when mi did deh inna ICE custody?” Campbell asked, insisting he did not see the agent between January and July.

Federal authorities, however, have previously alleged that Campbell was interviewed in February 2026 and admitted possessing firearms recovered following a November 2025 traffic incident in Georgia. Authorities claim he said the weapons had been used in music videos.

The federal case alleges that four firearms, ammunition and magazines were recovered from the vehicle Campbell was operating. Authorities say one firearm had been reported stolen in Florida.

Campbell also questioned why his music videos, other cases and allegations involving other people were being discussed in relation to the firearm prosecution.

“At this point its clear to me what’s going on,” he wrote, before alleging that the ultimate intention was to have him deported.

Campbell tagged Nationwide News in the post after the Jamaican media outlet published details from his court proceedings. He had earlier posted another message denying claims that he held conversations against other people and said information from the court would eventually become public.

The entertainer has not pleaded guilty or publicly announced a plea agreement. His not-guilty plea was entered during his August 31 arraignment in Georgia, where prosecutors successfully argued that he should remain detained pending trial.
