Dancehall artist Skillibeng has claimed that an airport worker at Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica stole $100,000 worth of jewelry from his luggage. On Thursday, the “Crocodile Teeth” deejay took to Instagram with an ultimatum, demanding the return of his stolen items. He urged the thief to contact him directly or face the consequences.
“Everyone on duty knows who was responsible for searching the bags, so don’t make this hard,” he added.

A spokesperson for the airport shared that the singer has not filed an official claim. “We are not aware of any reports made at the airport about stolen jewelry. A report needs to be made to the police or the airline he flew with. Maybe someone needs to reach out to him and ask him to do that. We cannot do anything without a formal report. When there is a formal report, all relevant airport personnel are informed, and an investigation is conducted by the police or the airline.”
Of course the incident sparked mixed reactions online from viewers of Skillibeng’s post on a photo of the empty luggage.
One person commented – “At least they left the watch so you can still tell the time.”
Another person commented – “Doesn’t matter where he carries his jewelry; they shouldn’t have taken them. They are too damn thief and should be fired.”
Several other users questioned why the bag was checked. “That should be a carry-on or personal bag still,” one user said. Another replied, “It still doesn’t give the people the right to take it. It doesn’t matter where it is; if it’s in someone’s luggage, you don’t do that.”
Skillibeng, currently signed to Sony Music’s RCA Records in partnership with Eastsyde Records, rose to fame in 2019 with his hit “Brik Pan Brik.” He is known for tracks like “Crocodile Teeth,” “Whap Whap” with F.S., “Not,” “Coke,” “Mr. Universe,” and “Badman.”
