Ghanaian reggae and dancehall artiste Jah Lead has retracted a statement he made about a month ago, threatening to beat up music producer JMJ.

Speaking with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, Jah Lead explained that his outburst was as a result of some personal issues he was dealing with, citing the loss of someone closer to him and marital issues.

When asked if he still stood by his previous comments that he would beat JMJ mercilessly, Jah Lead expressed his love and stated;

"Honestly, JM is my brother. I love him. I would never assault him, to be honest. I never do that. I think emotions had gotten intense… I retract that statement I made. I'll never assault him. I appreciate him for whatever we have got into. We can both continue with our lives," he said.

On March 17, 2025, Jah Lead threatened to assault JMJ for depriving him of revenue from a song (Lonely) they both own.

"He should dare not think he's older than me, coz he's my age mate. That's why I'll talk to him like my age mate. I told him when the time comes I'll meet him on the street, I'll beat him mercilessly. I want people to talk about it coz I'll face him like a man, I'll beat him," Jah Lead said.

The feud between Jah Lead and JMJ started over a song for the latter's "Riddim of the Gods" project. Jah Lead claimed that JMJ had blocked his song on Audiomack, despite having more streams on his account. Jah Lead accused JMJ of pitching the work to Boomplay and taking money without his consent.

Jah Lead's apology and retraction of his statement mark a potential end to the feud between the two artistes.
