Well known Jamaican comedian Majah Hype has been Jailed in Georgia where he is facing charges for simple battery and felony charges for making ‘terroristic threats and acts’.
He has been detained at the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office adult detention facilities for the past four days.
According to the Cobb County Sheriff’s office, Hype, whose real name is Nigel Theron Joseph, was arrested and processed on February 19, 2023 and remains in custody without bond.
Despite his recent arrest, his social media accounts remain active and are likely being run by an assistant. There were no further details surrounding his arrest given by law enforcement.
This is not the comedian’s first arrest in Georgia. Majah Hype was previously arrested in January 2021 following an incident involving his ex-girlfriend, Latisha Kirby Farrell. At the time, he was charged with kidnapping, making terroristic threats, and simple battery. He later bonded out of jail on a $15,000 bond. The comedian also spent some time behind bars at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center outside Atlanta for the same incident.
It’s unclear if this latest arrest is related to that case, but it is reported his ex-girlfriend applied for a restraining order against him.
