While in police custody, the singer claims he was thrown into a glass window, losing three fingers in the process, which were reattached at a local hospital. Police claimed Mavado escaped from custody while at the hospital. The incident caused him to be refused entry into the United States a short time later. He was again arrested and charged with shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm in relation to an event occurring July 27, 2007. He was later freed of all charges.

Overall Meaning

In Mavado's song Big Bumpa Gal, he praises a woman for her clean genitals, telling her not to worry about anything else. He specifically mentions that she doesn't have rotten or false teeth, indicating that he values good hygiene in his partner. Then he focuses on her big behind, which he admires greatly. Mavado instructs her to back it up like he's riding a bike, which is a metaphor for sexual intercourse. He continues to compliment her body and her sexual prowess, stating that her world-class vagina is something he desires.

Mavado then talks about a sexual encounter with the woman, saying that he enjoys when she calls him and tells him how much she misses having sex with him. He describes how she tells him that she loves it when he lifts her up during sex. He concludes the verse by saying that when they're done, he will take care of her needs.

This song is very explicit and objectifies women. It reinforces negative gender stereotypes and promotes casual sex, which can be harmful to both men and women. However, it is also a reflection of the dancehall music culture, which often features sexually explicit lyrics.
