There is uncertainty surrounding the health of dancehall queen Spice, though her booking agent has dismissed as rumours, assertions that she suffered a heart attack.

The questions on the lips of many this week was simple, “Where is Spice?”

Rumours were peddled across social media last Wednesday that the ‘So Mi Like It’ artiste had developed complications during a cosmetic medical procedure at an undisclosed medical facility in the Dominican Republic.

By Saturday, sources indicated that the popular entertainer was “awake” after a health scare, days after persons close to her denied that she had a heart attack or was in a coma.

Even minister Marion Hall, the dancehall artiste-turned-Christian formerly known as Lady Saw and the former queen of dancehall, who, interestingly, has been at odds with Spice, urged her followers to pray for the current queen of dancehall during a livestream on Wednesday.

“God of Glory, I place Grace Hamilton at your feet,” Hall said during her prayer.

Continuing, she said: “We had a lot of stuff – some accusations of me doing evil. But God, today I understand this word you have given me. I am not bitter, God.

“You took away my bitterness…Yes, there are times I cry over accusations… but I pray that you will not just revive her, but also strengthen her.”

In late January, Spice and Hall had a clash of sorts after the latter rapped the former and other dancehall stars on their actions, lyrics and styles, and declared that they were all in a “race to hell”.

The former dancehall queen, during one of her sermons in late January, described Spice as being “played out”, among other things.

Spice would respond in an expletive-laden response on video, and said she and Hall had been friends for 10 years, but that they had a falling out because of Hall being “bad mind”.

Hall said during her prayer for Spice on Wednesday morning, that she has placed those things that Spice said about her (Hall) behind her.

In the whole mix, on Wednesday afternoon, Spice’s booking agent, Ray Alexander, responded to the rumours that were circulating about the artiste’s health.

“She didn’t suffer a heart attack and she is not in a coma,” Alexander said on Wednesday evening.

But amid him insisting that the comments were rumours, it should be noted that it would not be Spice’s first time ‘under the knife’, as she had cosmetic surgery in 2020. In November of that year, she shared a photo of her “new designer body” to her Instagram page.

Cosmetic surgery enhances appearance for non-medical reasons, addressing physical features that can bring a person closer to their ideal body image.

The entertainer — whose given name is Grace Hamilton — is known for a slew of hit songs, such as ‘Send It Up’, ‘Sheet’, ‘Indicator’, ‘Genie’, ‘Fight Over Man’, and ‘Romping Shop’ featuring Vybz Kartel.

With no word from Spice herself, and no further update regarding her condition from those in her circle, the rumours relative to her health continued to circulate unabated up to Saturday morning when sources close to the entertainer said she  “awake” and “getting stronger”.

Amid it all, several social media users were thankful for the news on Saturday that the dancehall queen was well following the uncertainty which had dampened her fan base locally and internationally.

Facebook user, Dollz Up Queen, posted: “I cried so hard last night (Friday).

“I knew Spice as a child, love (her) and still do. That’s my favourite artiste in Jamaica,” she said.

In summer, Spice released her album ‘Emancipated’, which debuted at No 7 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.

Her debut album ’10’ was nominated for Best Reggae Album last year.

In recent years, Spice has expanded her brand beyond the confines of dancehall, co-starring in the VH1 reality series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and championing her own clothing line, Graci Noir.
