Written byK'Shema Francis-Pitt
Dancehall artiste Chronic Law has spoken publicly about his ongoing legal battle in the United States, questioning aspects of the case and alleging that there is more to his prosecution than the charges currently before the court.
In a post shared on Instagram, Chronic Law recounted two encounters with an individual he identified as being involved in his case.
He said the first occurred on January 12, when he was arrested and taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. According to the artiste, the individual told him that if he provided information, he would not have to remain in custody.
Chronic Law said he nevertheless spent several months in custody because, in his words, “him nuh inna no chatting.”
He said their next encounter was on July 5, when he reminded the individual of what he claimed had been said during their earlier interaction.
The artiste also questioned how he could have allegedly participated in a post-Miranda interview in February when, according to him, he was in ICE custody at the time.
Chronic Law further questioned the individual’s involvement in the case, stating that the person was not his arresting officer and that the matter originated from an alleged incident in Georgia.
He also claimed that the arguments surrounding his case have shifted during court proceedings, with references now being made to music videos, other people’s cases and allegations involving others.
“It feels like the ultimate aim to get me deported,” Chronic Law wrote, while maintaining that he believes there is more behind the case.
Chronic Law, whose real name is Ackeme Jermane Campbell, is facing a federal charge of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
U.S. prosecutors allege that several firearms and 92 rounds of ammunition were found following a November 2025 police pursuit in Turner County, Georgia. One of the firearms was reported stolen from Miami.
Chronic Law has pleaded not guilty, according to the information provided, and remains in custody ahead of his October 26 trial date.
His latest comments represent his account of the circumstances surrounding the case. The allegations he makes about law enforcement and the motives behind the prosecution have not been established as facts in court.
