Dancehall star Rygin King is back on Jamaican soil after months in US immigration detention, choosing to return home amid concerns over his health, according to sources close to the entertainer.

The Tuff deejay arrived on Thursday, October 22, after opting for what sources described as “voluntary deportation” rather than remaining in detention.

His return follows the reported dismissal last week of the New York weapons and ammunition case that had shadowed his immigration proceedings. Confirmation of that dismissal from court records was not available in the information supplied.

Rygin King was taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March 2026, reportedly just hours before a scheduled green card interview.

His detention stemmed from unresolved charges arising from a 2024 New York weapons case. He had pleaded not guilty.

Sources say concerns about his health ultimately drove his decision to leave the United States rather than face continued detention.

They also believe the reported dismissal could allow him to revisit his green card application. However, the dismissal of criminal charges does not itself establish that an immigration application has been reinstated or that he is eligible to return to the United States.

The precise terms of his departure—and the status of his immigration proceedings—remain to be confirmed.

For now, the immediate development is his homecoming, bringing an end to his months in US detention.
