Jamaican TikToker and former YouTuber Alex Yamboss has reportedly been attacked in the Browns Hall area of St. Catherine. The incident, which took place near Tacius Golding High School, has left the social media influencer in critical condition.
A source close to Alex shared that he was shot in the head and is currently hospitalized. Speculation online suggests the attack may have occurred while he was active on TikTok, though these reports remain unconfirmed.
Alex gained initial recognition on YouTube through the channel Abby and Alex, where he created content alongside his then-partner. After the channel’s success and their eventual split, he transitioned to TikTok, where his comedic skits, dance videos, and budding music career have earned him over 90,000 followers. His recent viral song, where he humorously sings about being a “Yamhead,” further boosted his popularity.
Fans have been reacting to the news, leaving supportive messages on his recent TikTok videos. Many have expressed disbelief and are praying for his recovery.
