After exiting from the Alliance in 2006, it seems Aidonia has fully reconciled differences he had with Bounty Killer.

In 2006, Aidonia left the Alliance following the footsteps of Vybz Kartel who he used to refer to as 'Addi mi daddy'. However, last year it became obvious that the two were no longer as close as they once were.

Aidonia claimed that he was on a different path and felt the need to concentrate more on his career and his group JOP, instead of other groups. But in recent times, rumours began circulating that the artiste rejoined the Alliance.

However, when THE STAR caught up with Alliance leader Bounty Killer, he dismissed such speculations and presented the facts.

"Nothing like that. Aidonia is just a friend of the Alliance. We good, we have an understanding but he is not a part of the Alliance. Alliance and JOP is very close," Bounty Killer told THE STAR.

Adding, "He was an Alliance member so there is an understanding still. So he's like an Alliance extended family, that's the most I could describe it as." Aidonia also confirmed the reunion.

"Bounty a di general, Bounty Killer is an artiste weh Aidonia been looking up to from a longer while 'cause a di male artiste dat weh motivate me fi waan become a musician. Him still a show mi nuff things bout the business. Is not a thing like seh Aidonia gone back inna Alliance 'cause the world know seh a JOP mi seh," Aidonia told THE STAR.

"I am not a member of the Alliance and I am not going back into the Alliance. Aidonia seh JOP, Bounty Killer seh Alliance, Mavado seh Gully-Alliance, Elephant seh Alliance. Mi a work wid my artistes to get them out there."

Aidonia added that he is now on a more positive path, one which includes him promoting unity in the music industry.

"At the end of the day, wi seh unity inna the music. So the whole heap a strife and violence between artistes, mi nuh deh pon dat right now. Mi deh pon more positive music. I came with a lot of cultural stuff like Jehovah and Evil Head Mi just a put in some hard positive work and a gwaan focus and do the thing," he said.

In addition, Aidonia said he will be shooting the music video for My Heart Is Hers, which features Aisha Davis. He will also be releasing songs done with producers like Stephen McGregor, Jordan, Russian, Demarco and Leftside. He has also done some production work on a new rhythm called Summer Body.

Meanwhile, Bounty Killer is quite pleased that he will be honoured at Reggae Sumfest, which will be held at Catherine Hall, Montego Bay, later this month.

"I feel great about being honoured. At least someone recognise the good that I have been putting in and the contribution," he told THE STAR.
