Musician Jay Jay Cee has announced that he is no longer a member of ‘Mabilinganya Empire after staying 11 years with the Lilongwe-based reggae dancehall music group.
The musician made the announcement through his Facebook page and shared his old pictures taken with some of the group members.
“For that effort I will always be grateful, it’s been almost 11 years since I joined Mabilinganya Empire, at some point I was voted a leader, this only shows how much of a family I became.

Unfortunately there is time for everything, I am officially announcing to the public that today I am stepping out of Mabilinganya, there is no bad blood as some may call it, it’s just a necessary step I am supposed to take.” reads the statement in part.
The musician has since thanked his fans for their support during his time with the empire and said he will always be available whenever the group needs his support.
Meanwhile, another Mabilinganya empire member who helped Jay Jay Cee to join the group in 2013, Mady P, has also announced that he is no longer part of the Area 18 music crew.
Mabilinganya Empire was formed in 2008 by dancehall artist late Patrick Magalasi who was fondly known as ‘Mafunyeta’ and his friend Blac Sta.
Apart from the two, the group had other dancehall stars like Mady P, Mad Doctor, Maovololo, Tamunyata, Macedonia, Flava and the current dancehall king Malinga Mafia.
