Underground rapper Jayden Yen Dumont, better known as Jaydes, has been arrested following accusations of involvement in an attempted murder. The 18-year-old artist, based in Florida, was propelled to fame via SoundCloud with his hits like Slugs and Scam Likely.
Jayden Yen Dumont was born on February 24, 2006, and he previously went by the moniker Evvls online. The Broward County native, who is a rapper, singer, and songwriter, dabbles in the Hip Hop, Plugg, and Shoegaze genres.
Jayden Yen Dumont allegedly stabbed his ex with a box cutter after she rejected his advances
Jayden was briefly declared a fugitive, but the deputies in Oakland Park, Florida, nabbed him on Sunday, November 10th, 2024. He was consequently booked at the Broward County Jail, and as per official police reports, the rapper is 5’10 and weighs 120 lbs. More information about his bail remains unknown.
His mugshot, which has since gone viral, shows the rapper with a bloody nose and his eyes closed. However, details about the incidents leading up to the arrest and his apparent injuries also remain unclear.
According to Baller Alert, a now-deleted Instagram account called ExposingJaydes detailed the alleged incident. Messages and screenshots, supposedly sent by Jaydes’ ex-girlfriend, outlined the incident that took place on November 2.
She revealed that she was at his house at the time, and when she rejected his advances, things went downhill:
"He kissed me, I pushed him off, and then he came back with scissors and a box cutter and started stabbing me."
The alleged victim then fled to the bathroom, where she rang 911. However, Jayden Yen Dumont allegedly absconded before law enforcement arrived.
“I ran into his bathroom w my phone as soon as I got away and called 911 and he ran away before the cops got there…he sliced my neck and there’s stab wounds on my arm and back."
On X, photos of the injuries the alleged victim sustained to the back of her neck, back, and arms have been circulating. Furthermore, it also included "proof" that she and Jayden were close: images of the latter catching z's on her thigh and playing with their cat.
A third account has since cropped up, with a similar user name. According to the bio, the previous two accounts were found to be in violation of Instagram's community guidelines, and were hence taken down. The page posted an update on November 11, confirming that Jayden has since been apprehended.
Jayden Yen Dumont's Instagram account, which boasts over 100,000 followers, has been scrubbed clean. All posts and images have since been archived or deleted.
