Don't blame Tarrus for what I did!
YardFlex caught up with Dean Fraser backstage at TeenSplash and he had a whole lot to say about the incident that took place in Antigua. He is upset about the fact that they are painting Tarrus Riley as some hooligan when in fact he was the first person to run the MC Kenny Knibbs off the stage.
"I am the first man who asked the MC to leave the stage," he stated as he reminded that every singer has the right to tell anyone who they don't want on their stage during performance.
According to Dean the MC did not even take the time to do his homework regarding the band as he introduced Black Soil as Live Wyaa. When Dean pointed out the error to him his comment was "it does not make a difference!"
Just before Tarrus Riley was due to perform Kenyatta Hill asked him (Dean) and Tarrus if he could do a song first... "yardie to yardie we agreed, we had no problem with it."
The MC Kenny Knibbs then came back on stage, took up the mic and proceeded to call back Kenyatta. It was at this point that Dean intercede and told him Tarrus should have worked from 9:00 pm and it was now 3:00 am.
"He started to show resentment from that point on," Fraser explained. He said while Kenny was introducing Tarrus, the singer walked on stage and told him to get off stage.
"Tarrus was the last person to tell him to leave the stage," and even after that the crowd was enjoying the performance. Tarrus did about three songs before Kenny came back with a group of his friends and it seemed they wanted to bring violence to us," Dean explained.
According to Dean when the yardies in the venue saw what was happening they surrounding them and told them that no one could do them anything. It was at this point that the police got involved and escorted them out.
"After that Kenny went on a smear campaign again Tarrus, threatening not to play his songs in Antigua...Kenny is just a DJ whose ego is far up his *ss," Dean Fraser vented.

I don't like what a gwaan in the caribbean with these reggae shows. Supercat altercation in Trinidad-Racism incident. Check Fenda almost lost is life in Barbados. And now this with Tarrus Riley and Dean Fraser. I hope this does not escalate to another Level but we need to take a look at what we do as professionals regardless of the part that we play in the entertainment industry.
I do believe that the peoples of the Caribbean share many things in common. One of them is called manners and the other is right and wrong.
This is a fundamental backbone of our culture.
Show some respect for the Artists and entertainers at your shows and to all peoples in general.

No, guess what a lot a people have vibes because we are Jamaican and gifted singers from God. You listen to our guys singing and the flow is like a river without no obstruction, unlike some singers a disaster from they open there mouth and so the (B.C.S) black crab syndrome step in and they want to pull our singers down. But if someone selling you ackee and eh no good you have the right to tell them you ain't buying, same way if they trying to push s*** down you throat you have the right to tell them no way regardless of who, because God take away our sins not our senses. Peace Out!!!!

No disrespect to the other caribbean Islands but to me it just seems like some of them just do not like or respect jamaicans. And when we as jamaicans turn around and defend ourselves we're branded as the badguys. But if people don't know anything about Jamaicans, they should know we are quick to defend ourselves. But aside from that the caribbean must realize that reggae is not only benefiting jamaica. There are alot of people on the different Islands and continents who are also benefiting. So lets keep some order and Mutual Respect in the buisness. Blessed Love

jenny jenny jump off a cliff. Tarrus Can not be stopped. No Matter who bad mind or who want dis or who dont want to play his songs. One Selector can not make or break an artist. Tarrus Big up yoself yo done know how di system set. Any hating against Jamaicans in the caribbean is a sign of ignorance and badmind...Jamaicans we already know how di ting set so show respect to anyone who show respect to you no matter where they are from, we have nothing else to prove to the world..and disrespect those who try to violate. We show love fi get love.

For God/Jah/Alah Sake, (I diliberately used all these titles)
To let those who need reminding that no matter what you call God he is still god. And that no matter where you are in whatever language MUSIC IS STILL MUSIC IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER REGARDLESS OF THE COLOUR OF THE LISTENER. WHEN WE LISTEN TO MUSIC DO WE STOP AND SAY OH WHERE IS HE/SHE FROM NO WE FEEL THE MUSIC FIRST AND THEN ASK ABOUT THE ARTIST OR MUSCIAN.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LISTEN TO REGGAE, SOUL, HIP-HOP, POP WHATEVER IT IS STILL MUSIC.
DAMN.
