Dancehall artiste Kiprich, real name Marlon Plunkett, is in mourning after his father, Magnus Lloyd Plunkett, died suddenly on Friday at age 72.

The deejay revealed his father had been battling kidney issues and was due for follow-up urine tests.

“My brother is down in Jamaica and he was cooking some soup for him… and when he went to check on him, he was unresponsive,” Kiprich said. Plunkett was later pronounced dead at hospital.
