Avid Mavado fan shot and killed
By: Lookout
YardFlex came across this story on Trinidad Express and we have to say that they will do anything to tie Jamaicans in their mix up.
See, these DJs can't say they weren't warned about the type of lyrics they do. Below is an excerpt from the story posted on the website and please tell us how poor Mavado named got called up in this one – judge for yourselves!
SADIKI "Sadman" Marshall's murder is believed to be reprisal killing for a robbery on Friday night.
Marshall, 22, was gunned down in Providence Estate, Upper Bournes Road, an area better known as the "Cocoa" just after 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Police believe that the shooting incident is connected to a robbery where two men were severely beaten and robbed in the same area on Friday night.
An avid Mavado fan, Marshall, also from the area, ultimately lived up to the Jamaican dancehall artiste's credo "live by the gun, die by the gun."
Marshall received several shots about the body, including 12 to the head. It is believed that after the initial hail of gunfire felled Marshall, his assailants walk up to him and shot him several times from point blank range.

Mi read it to and i was wondering how DJ came into the mix. Even the article stated that the yute got mixed up in the wrong crowd, so why go out of your way to put Mavado's name in the mix up? If they were doing a bio on the yute fine but how is Mavado involved in his death? I wonder when I graduate from college if the gleaner will say he was a straight A student who was a die hearted Mavado fan and that contributed heavily to his success in and out of school? Come on Trinidad express

that nuh right..... movado sing a song...it's up to you to listen to it..... even when you listen to it, you should have a conscience to know whether the words he's singing should be put into reality...... don't get me wrong....artist are probably the most influential people on us, the younger generation but he's 22 not 12...he should know right from wrong!!

People now a days a eddait . How you can shot a man for calling another person name. People need fi look inside themselve and realize that music now a days is strictly entertainment and they shouldn't be brought into the propaganda. We are diffenetly in some serious times.

By reading the story the link that they are trying to make is none existent. Mr. Marshall was not killed due to him being a Mavado fan, he was accused of being involved in a robbery. Writers in Trinidad are trying to associate negative behaviour with Jamaican artist and blame them for incidents that they have nothing to do with, they are only deflecting the blame to a nation that they feel are more vulnerable than themselves. Then, they dont have to look at the real issue, which is their inability to take responsibility for their own actions.

COME ON NOW! WHAT DOES THIS ARTICLE HAS TO DO WITH MAVARDO?
THE POPULAR SAYING, LIVE BY THE GUN YOU SHALL DIE BY THE GUN IS ACTURALLY FOR THOSE GUN MEN WHO GOES AROUND TERRORIZING THE COMMUNITY.
MAVARDO IS JUST MAKING A LIVING DOING MUSIC THAT PEOPLE LOVE. HE SINGS WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT THAT DOES NOT NECESSARYLY MEANS HE IS A GUN MAN.
STOP GIVING THE MAN NEGATIVE PUBLICITY!
GANGSTA FI LIFE TO ME MEANS GETTTING OUT OF THE GHETTO AND MAKING IT AND HAVING THE HEART TO GO BACK AND HANG.
MAVARDO I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOUR MUSIC.
ONE LUV.

It's sad Mavado becomes the scapegoat same way they ban him from performing in Vincy,obviously trying to insinuate that he's responsible for crimes as if they weren't occurring at an increasing rate long before he ever came on the scene. This youth had far more significant negative influences in his life than Mavado and he died cause of his own deeds. Soon hopefully they will credit Mavado for Jamaica's teenage computer literacy..but somehow, somewhere, there will be someone who will put a negative spin on it..
That's life.

Stop fooling yourselves Black people, Gangsta music is associated with badness. Plain and simple. If he was dealing with consciousness by listening to some Luciano he wouldnt be mixed up inna bad boy crowd. Not everyone will get the same effect but if your intention is badness its the best thing next to alcohol to push you over the edge, in other words to motivate you. It could of bin 50cent but in this case its Movado music. Too bad him end up on the gully side, his head is like a bus with gunshot passinga.

Every person is responsible for his/her own actions. Don't try to blame Mavado for what another man CHOSE to do. Marshall's action (the robbery) led to the reaction he recieved (Death by reprisal). RIP though my yout'

These trini's are getting ridiculous now.They are becoming too obsessed with Jamaicans. Every chance dem get dem call up Jamaica name. It might be a sign of desperation, they might be worried that they are losing their culture to Jamaican culture so they constantly attempt to demonize our culture.(a fleeting illusion to be persued but never attained)
You have to admit Jamaican culture is powerfull. Any way we should be used to this by now, no matter whe dem try wi influence on the rest of the world strong whether good or bad. As with every culture or race there's goog and bad.

I from dundonald hill, belle vue, dat right next to d cocoa, up in bournes rd, d hills connected. people have to understand trinidad mavado crazy right now and always had respect for bounty killa. everyting is mavado and bounty down here right now, so d papers mus use dat as emphasis, dem people bored, d country just dont want to admit dat "everybody bad" and nobody cant tell nobody nuthin in trinidad or else is gunshot, simple like dat.
what da hell r they thinking?! maybe they thought that more ppl will ead the article if mavado's name appeared in it. i do feel bad 2 hear dat sadiki is gone but what does that have 2 do with MAVADO. they r getting 2 rediculous!!!!!!! i know his lyrics r sometimes violent but everything i c on tv is violent, even kids cartoons! so y they dont mention da gun shows n do violent rap song. THESE PPL R LOOK 4 SOME1 2 BLAME. it hurts me 2 here taht this is what da media has come down 2.
im sure dat mavado isnt da only artist dat sadeki likes so y dont they call all his favorite artists name. i wish i could of known the idiot who wrote that store.
R.I.P SADEKI
man dis people re tryin to make ma dj loose forcus but them cant hold him down caa he is d biggest thing in dancehall business right now. to me action movies where guns n drogs re plainly expose to people re worst than mava's lyrics, hw can his name b connected to such a thing, man this is plain fock**y...

you see this why we and the trinis cyant get along them always try to say is us jamaicans make them country violent and truth be told there is alot of sh*t going over that not even us jamaicans ready to get mix up in such as bombings if a man is a gangsta and listen to movado i am sure he listens to tupac, bounti, biggy smalls even little wayne but is movado stand out what about movies like die hard and the rest of them why not blame cable cause is one thing to hear the music but when u see the action is a whole different thing they need to just leave jamaicans alone damn it.......

This is what you call guilt by association. You do not need to have a direct involvement in anything to be linked to it. If you go out there and promote certain things and one of your listeners or followers go out and act on what you said you are going to get the blame for it.

Eena dis article, Movado & de victim sound like dem have more fi duh wid de killing dan de actual assailants. Poorly written piece of journalism.
NOTE TO THE AUTHORITIES IN TRINIDAD & THE REST OF CARIBBEAN ISLANDS: Don't turn a blind eye to crime & start pointing fingers everywhere else (music, other countries, etc) as it relates to your rising crime levels. Jamaica did that, and look at the level that crime is currently at. Tackle the root causes & nip it in the bud before it escalates further. Movado or no Movado, when dawgs get hungry dem look food fi eat. Seeing that there are lots of Bounty Killa fans eena Trinidad, unu lissen "Look Into My Eyes" and see if unu pre weh mi ah seh.

Come on man, why do y'all blame Mavado for this sh!t? Come on man let's be real. Do y'all blame Elton or Boy George for battymen? We all are responsible for our actions, we can't blame no one but ourself... If Marshall is a gangsta so he die as a gangsta. Don't blame Mavado.
