R.F. aka O. C. aka Father F. was shot dead on February 22 in Kencot St. Andrew, an area in the Jamaican capital, Kingston.

He was 61 years old. F., who in addition to his music career promoting was also a prominent drug smuggler, was shot by two men on motorcycles while he partied with a group of people on a street. He died in front of his Range Rover.

F., who was affiliated with the infamous Yardie gang during his life, was jailed for 13 years in England in 2004. His sentence was later reduced to 11 years.

Authorities said that he had been running a drug smuggling ring from his home in the Sudbury neighborhood of London. A police raid on that home yielded more than 100 pounds of cocaine.

Judge William Kennedy remarked at sentencing, “Those who deal in class A drugs deal in death. Those who supply others are responsible indirectly and directly for much of the violent, acquisitive crime which so terrifies decent people and shatters the lives of so many.”

Kennedy added that it had been F.’s “arrogance,” such as reports about him burning money for show and leaving the price tag on expensive clothing, led to his arrest.

The judge did not recommend him for deportation at the time of sentencing but did say that he hoped he would never be a free man in England ever again.

The Jamaica Gleaner reports that F. met the women who worked as his drug mules during parties he hosted at a nightclub in London known as La Roose. His entertainment business, the British Link-Up Crew, was a front for his drug smuggling activities, police said.

During an interview he said, “Well me not a violent man, me know what I was doing was wrong but me do it fi get the good out of it, me never send nuh gun come Jamaica, me never buy nuh man nuh shot and nuh man couldn’t come a mi yard come beg me money fi buy nuh gun or bullet else me run them out a me yard no matter how bad them claim dem is. Me is a man go anywhere in Jamaica, me nuh look behind me, me is not a gansta me is a moggler. Me love life & the girls and me is a people person.”

Though the Jamaica Gleaner reported in 2004 that F. was thought to have been involved in the shooting death of DJ Village, a London-based radio DJ who was killed in 2001.

During a hearing in the United Kingdom over the forfeiture of F’s ill-gotten gains, the court heard that in Jamaica, F. drove a Jaguar XKA with a personalized license plate reading, “007.”

In addition, he was also accused of wearing a diamond-encrusted crucifix necklace that cost $13,000. He told the court that even though he had been successful through his music promotions career, he did not keep financial records or open a bank account.

The Jamaica Gleaner reports that in 2004, F. had three mansions in Jamaica in addition to property in the U.S. and Canada.

F. was asked in a 2013 interview why he remained a gangster for so long, his reply was, “The money, the lifestyle and the gyal dem. As me say before, the more u get is the more u want.”

In October 2015, F.’s long-term associate, Moonie British, was shot dead in a bar in the St. Andrew neighborhood of Kingston.
