(ReggaeVibeMedia.com) – Jesse Royal, the Grammy-nominated Jamaican reggae star, has emerged alive and determined after surviving a serious vehicle accident—though the full extent of his injuries remains undisclosed, the artist assures fans he’s “ok” and pressing ahead with a new album release. Royal was slated to join a lineup of reggae greats, including Buju Banton for an Atlantic City show and Beres Hammond in New York, and remains committed to honoring those performances despite the setback.
The crash occurred recently and prompted immediate concern across the reggae community. According to social media accounts, “Jesse Royal was involved in a vehicle accident but fortunately has escaped serious harm.” Another post echoed the relief: “Reggae artiste Jesse Royal says he is recovering from car crash but will release his album.” Royal himself reflected quietly on Instagram, announcing, “No Place Like Home”, as the title of his forthcoming album, amid his recovery.
While details such as how the crash occurred or his current physical condition remain private, Royal’s resilience is clear. A community sentiment captured on Reddit sums it up: “Luckily he made it out safely and it seems like nobody else got hurt.” Another fan chimed in, “Album should drop next Friday. … I am VERY thankful to see my brother Jesse safe and ok. Everyday is truly a blessing.”
Royal had been scheduled to reopen the live circuit this season: with Buju Banton at Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena on September 12, 2025, and performing in New York at SOB’s on September 4, 2025. While it’s yet unclear whether he will appear at these events, his spirit remains undiminished—and his message to fans is clear: the show must go on.
