Lisa Hyper’s Family Thanks Well-Wishers And Fans For Their Support

Dancehall artist Lisa Hyper is currently undergoing treatment at the University Hospital of the West Indies. She has been in the facility for the past two weeks.

The Soul Cry deejay’s family revealed that her treatment was progressing well.

“We’re grateful to share that Lisa is making steady progress in her recovery. It’s been a challenging time, but with God’s grace, the care of her medical team, the love and support from her father, myself and close friends she is getting better each day,” Tasha Gooden, Lisa Hyper’s sister, said.

She thanked Lisa Hyper’s fans and well-wishers for “your prayers, and every kind word, and encouragement”.

“It has truly made a difference, and we appreciate each and every one and fellow artistes who have reached out, checked in, and lifted her up in prayer. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts as she continues her healing journey. We are trusting in God’s perfect plan and looking forward to seeing her fully restored soon,” Ms. Gooden said.

The entertainer, who has been diagnosed with a mental illness, had been experiencing several manic episodes which have played out on social media in recent weeks. Lisa Hyper’s rants have rankled prominent members of the entertainment community, some of whom have unfollowed her on social media.

One of her episodes reportedly led to her arrest in February after an incident that took place at the Norman Washington Manley airport. She was arrested and charged with assault.

Lisa Hyper is known as the ‘First Lady of Gaza’, and a major figure in Vybz Kartel’s Portmore Empire. She is known for songs such as Amazing, Money Don’t Sleep, Sculpture and Nuh Frighten.

Her most recent songs include ‘Soul Cry’ where she addressed her mental health issues, and her brash collaboration, Altitude, featuring Shawn Storm.
