The Doctor says sorry to Christians and Church

Beenieman.jpgPopular dancehall entertainer Moses 'Beenie Man' Davis sent out his humble public apologies yesterday, to the members of the St. Andrew Parish Church, the Christian fraternity, and relatives of deceased whose remains are interred in the church's cemetery.

This follows an injunction taken out by church lawyers on September 28, barring defendants, Beenie Man and his production team from publishing, broadcasting or releasing a video filmed at the cemetery, for publication or broadcast in any audiovisual media, the music video films or other visual images recorded by said production team.

The entertainer said he is emphatically sorry about the misunderstanding that has arisen and wants the Christian fraternity, who are incensed about the videotaping, to know that he would never knowingly do anything demeaning to offend Christian or any other doctrine.

Not seeking and acquiring permission to film at the cemetery, is what got Beenie Man and crew in the hot water to begin with. The defendants are barred by the courts from showing the video or any parts of it that have aspects of the Church yard and cemetery depicted, for a period of 28 days. Every part of the video has been not only halted for publication but also ordered turned over to the court until an October 11th Supreme Court hearing.

Beenie Man said, he along with the video crew takes full responsibility for their actions and regret not getting the necessary permission. His team agreed to edit the video, pulling out all offensive scenes once they learned of the injunction's stipulations. This did not stop the court from coming down hard on the defendants.

Unfortunately, after the injunction was filed on September 28, miscommunication between, the hosts of the popular entertainment programme ER that airs on TVJ and Beenie Man's production team, resulted in the video being shown on that Friday night.

Prior to the airing attempts were made to remove sections of the footage showing the church and the tombstones, but at the time a video editor was unavailable.

The video was recorded for Beenie Man's single 'Mama's Cry/Gangsta's Prayer' and is a depiction of the crime and violence now taking place in the society. Beenie Man said he was tired of seeing how many people and friends of his are ending up in the grave and it is his way of showing his condemnation of the murders and violence.

Zaag Zow--We must abide by rules, laws and principles my friend. Despite the fact that he may have had the purest of intentions there are still laws and by laws which should dictate and govern actions.

making money on people's graves... that's just shameful. the church should demand a percentage of the profits. capitalism is all good but when I lay my loved one to rest, I want them to rest in PEACE.

It is nice to see an artist taking a stand against violence, but how genuine is this stance? What about their gun tunes and informa fi dead lyrics. Who is going to stand against them promoting music such as those? For Jamaica to get better it will involve more than just one song but a solid commitment from all de artists to put down their gun tunes and informa fi dead lyrics. But here is to a better JAMAICA one step at a time.

This is ridiculous. How can a man using a grave as a metaphor to try to help control the violence in a country in turn is reprimanded for it? I've seen the video, nothing is demeaning about it!! Absolutely nothing! As he said the graves are blurred...it looks more fictional than anything else. Beenie is vulnerable right now and everybody thinks they should take a swing at him. I do not think he could get his message across any other way. It is a great video and a great song. Something different from the everyday "oman mus skin out" and "man mus murder somebody." The church wants its 15 mins of fame. It is not as if he was sitting on their graves or even disrespecting them. A lot of you people just like to kick people when they are down and relish in other people's misery. Some of you need to go read a book and take up a skill or something. Many of you are in worse off conditions and the only reason why the vast majority of people do not know about it is that you are not in the lime light. Leave The Doctor be!!...Luv always beenie do ur thing!!! My prayers are with u!!

I am sure if he had known he would not be in "hot water'......do yu ting man bull sh*t is a part of life!!!


Posted by: Gospel Sound Bless House on October 4, 2007 08:44 AM

I think the right procedures should be followed but u can't take away the positivity of the Music and it's message i think that should be what really counts and weights more. i think the building of high morals by the church and it's community needs to be priority.

YEAH MON LONG TIME ME FELLOW JAMAICAN PEOPLE FI A UNITE N FIGHT GAINST CRIME N VOILENCE GO DEH ME ARTIST SET EXAMPLE FI DEM.

Mi love it when dem fight Beenie man.
It just goes to show how talented and great he is ina the music industry.
Him ever a do some projects that caught peoples' attention.
When dem fight..it even bus de tune and video even more.
More people watch it now...Platinum it a go
Dem other artiste have fe pop fight or try clash fe get attention.
For the good..comes much sacrifices
Check de levels..
when dem can't stop beenie tunes
dem criticize him clothes, him hair style, him personal life, dem stereotype him, etc..
When den de a club and de tune dem a play...dem nice fe hola gal pon dem tunes deh...and de gal dem nice fe back-it-up also.


Posted by: Tina on October 4, 2007 03:08 PM

Upon listening to the song, that track does not in anyway denounce violence in its entirety.....the church is right and we should back them because wid one mouth beenie a seh violence fi done an wid di next him a seh gunshot inna di air.....the church has to be seen to be consistent in its approach towards violence and slackness....when it suits beenie he sings against violence but when it dont suit him, he sings for it....mek up yu mind beenie......cut out di gun lyrics and call on all artiste fi follow suit or jus nuh badda kha di people dem who lose dem father or mother to one a dem very same gunshot deh whe u a sing bout dont want to hear it....


Posted by: daclansh on October 4, 2007 04:59 PM

I agree with Kerri-ann's comment a 100% but artiste sing about everything and because the ghetto culture in most cases not all is about bussing a shot in the air to show approval of something thats why an artiste would say that but doesnt necesarilly means in a violent way.


Posted by: scully on October 4, 2007 05:24 PM

why the church is making a big deal out of this the song is not promoting no violence the church should love what beenie man is trying to do keep up the good work beenie FAN FOR LIFE


Posted by: ragga gurru on October 4, 2007 08:31 PM

Look no one is fighting beenie man. Even Bennie and the videodirector are aware of their actions and filed an apology. Look we need to abide by rules and laws thats the long and short of it. Its small things of this nature that if we let slide will only encourage other rule breaking behaviors.......Nuff Said


Posted by: Cordy on October 5, 2007 01:15 AM

Zaaga Zow.....Stay strong baby...what the church need to know is just co go way and let u continue to shine.

zagga u need English lessons, iam not trying to dis r anything but your writing is atrocious, did u attend school with the doc? u must have fcuked in every class u attended and not pay attention to your school lesson, u must learn to wright and spell as a Jamaican, it does not look good the way u wright and spell, now a day'es computers do have spell check use it babes. and if u take it as a dis u r even more illiterate than we all though, just sort out your spelling and your grammar babes, it makes your puzzy better to get to know, including yourself, now a dayes man dont want woman who dont have common sense, and u seem like a bright girl but u must present your words better and in a intellectual form for others to over stand. an if u tell me go suk me mother is there i come from, and she bright no razz so i dont mind.


Posted by: nicey on October 8, 2007 03:17 PM

ZAGGA ZOW As for the "SOCK YOU MOTHER " I already did that so that dont phase me like I said stop defending people you know I never said I was supporting the CHURCH. You comments would better be put to good use if it made any sense.

Posted by: Tina on October 11, 2007 05:10 AM

ZAGGA state yu point, the disrespect is unecessary, yea shaggy sing him song but that did not in anyway purport to denounce violence, beenie's song purports to denounce violence, when beenie as a person does not denounce violence in its entirety....look wha happen to spice an the other people dem whe him seh diss him....bounty is also guilty of the same thing....all we are saying is that beenie should not wid one mouth sing bout him gun an wid di next mouth sing bout peace, we need to see consistency from beenie as it relates to his stance on violence. And this beenie neva wrong kinda attitude whe u a bring off as you will see will not go down well with others who have been the victim of violence or others who have lost loved ones to violence.

As it relates to the church and what u suspect that they are doing.....Dat naw stop me from serve God and that shouldn't stop you either!...In addition don't you think entertainers like beenie man arent robbing the poor when him a drive range rover offa a gun tune whe him mek, ana sing bout di very same gun whe a kill people pickni........? Guns are taking over our society and its time WE ALL WITH ONE VOICE AN WITH ONE MOUTH SAY STOP.

Nobody hates beenie man!!!
