Social media is buzzing with mixed reactions after news broke that federal prosecutors have taken over Dancehall artiste Squash’s gun possession case in the U.S.

In the comment section of a post detailing the development, one user noted, “Feds breeze blow different from big breeze,” while another struck a more hopeful tone: “Let’s see how it plays out.” A third added, “Unfortunately this is not good… when the feds get involved, they’ve already built a solid case.”

The “Big Breeze” deejay’s arraignment in local court was reportedly paused when federal prosecutors announced they would be taking over the matter. As a result, Squash’s original charges—possession of a modified firearm and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit—have been dropped.

However, they have been replaced with two new federal charges: one count of being an alien in possession of a firearm or ammunition, and one count of unlawful possession of a machine gun.

According to reports, these new charges carry much stiffer penalties than the original local charges, with each carrying a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

Now facing a federal court, Squash remains behind bars but is not silent. Just last month, he dropped a 9-track EP titled Hate Being Famous, which includes collaborations with Malie Don and Byron Messia.
