Bounty Lisa and Soul Jah Love tied the knot in 2014, but their relationship took a painful turn, ending in 2018 amid allegations of abuse. Many on social media congratulated Bounty for seemingly moving on with her life.
In an interview in 2022, she revealed that she had decided to move on from the chanter after he became abusive due to his abuse of drugs.
“He had pushed away everyone who was with him during his come up. He was now left with people who agreed to everything,” she said.
“I never left Soul Jah Love, many people blame me for leaving yet I didn’t leave but he chased me away.
“It took two months of him chucking me out, throwing my bags out of the house. I believe it wasn’t his fault, but he was under the influence of drugs.
“He was also confused about what was happening to him. His drug uptake drove people away from him. Even his family also left and he was only left with druggies around him.
She also said the end of their relationship had softened the blow of his death.
“The divorce might have been the hand of God in preparing us for his untimely death. Imagine if he was to die while I was with him, it was going to be hard for me to accept it. I am happy and moved on from my past,” she said.
“I am more than a strong woman; I have been through a lot. People say a lot about me but they know nothing about me. Nothing will hold me back.”
