  1. Did Jamie Die in Top Boy?

    Jamie did in fact die at the end of the fourth season of Top Boy, which was released in early 2022.

    Micheal Ward, the actor who plays Jamie, spoke about the significance of his characters death in an interview with fellow Top Boy actor Adwoa Aboah for GQ.

    "I took it personal at first. I understood why it had to happen, but at the same time, I’m kind of soul-tied with Jamie in some ways. He’s given me some of my greatest opportunities in life."
