Mavado charged with two counts of shooting

mavado_pic_edit1.jpgThe self-proclaimed 'Gangsta Fah Life' artiste Mavado is now living the lifestyle as he is behind bars following his arrest last night on gun related charges.

The entertainer has been charged with two counts of shooting with intent and illegal possession of a firearm.

Mavado, 27, whose real name is David Brooks, was held when he showed up for questioning in connection with a shooting incident on July 27th last year on Mannings Hill Road in St. Andrew.

Head of the Major Investigation Task Force Assistant Commissioner of Police Les Greene said Mavado will remain in custody for at least another 24 hours.

Any ways the man a ghetto man so we could'nt expect better..., he's no role model to the youths them of tomorrow, him get a bly with his music career, and thats all him talk bout his Gansta Fi Life. (that no mek it)oh well lets see how much a gansta fi life him really is. now that he his locked up, he should do some reading, cause chances are he's not an intelligent young man. Good luck to him, maybe he'll change his tune.

Greetings to all cassava piece cubans, we know we people dem. No matter how dem fight weh, dem can't run wi from da gullyside! We are Micheal Manly pickney, we know a politics a fight bout deh.But as long as we have life, no boy a take over wi place. Make dem feel Movado alone ah say "Cuban", ah the world. We know seh dis fight nah just music, bad mind too. Cassava piece was one of da most peacefulest places in St. Andrew. From da youth dem rise up, dem no love dat!


Posted by: Abdul on March 27, 2008 04:21 PM

All the people who a celebrate fi Movado go a prison, unna dream not gwan come true. When da man dem a Redhills Road a kill so much people, dem don't condem dem. Now deh bring da killings to Cassava piece, da youths dem a fight back. Some man from Mannings hill road start all of dis war.Dem a get strength, but god not sleep. So gwan and wish bad for da Cubans, we a rise up cause we are godly people. Bob said, "fight agaist those dat fight against us".

Its Just one of those times Movado where the obstacles arise as u said,'mi know dem a cry fi hear mi dead.'just look deep within yourself and realise this is a test and father god will never reject as long you continue to be optimistic your blessings will always reflect .but at the same time be careful about the message that you preach the average jamnaican ghetto youths see you as their role model and they will definitely follow your trend.

Posted by: StewPeas on March 27, 2008 06:29 PM

Mavado, like alot of these deejays are experiencing a kind of "culture shock", what some Jamaicans call "never see, come see". Mavado can barely read and write and yet he is so cocky and confident, to the point where he treats Jamaican Laws and rules with contempt. All me say is STRAIGHT PRISON for illegal firearm offenders!!!!!!!
If he is so talented, why can't he do some positive uplifting tunes?


Posted by: StewPeas on March 27, 2008 06:29 PM

Even though Mavado "rich" now(so him say), him need to go back to school -I am sorry!. He needs to go to school, so that youngsters who admire him will see the importance of school and stay in school and recognise the ultimately education is your best security for life. I have spoken to on and off the record, done interviews with, Ele, Bounty, Beenie, Mavado, Demarco, Harry Todler, these guys are barely fuctionally literate, cannot construct a sentence, cannot use proper grammer. Everyone can see and hear the difference in Tanya Stevens, Assasin, Sean paul, Shaggy, Vybz Cartel.

I hope he is not guilty, because at the moment he is doing well in his career and this would have a detrimental affect on his career.

I hope other DJs learn from this. If you are in the limelight you cannot be having people around you who are involved in wrong doing.

You have on obligation to your fans, they are the most important in your career, not your bad man friends.

I saw you performed in the UK and are extremely talented. If you are guilty I will be very disappointed, because I think you know better.

Good Luck

People unno nuh si what a gwane? The system clone wi and then turn round a drown wi. The same system that put people into poverty is the same one who tek our poor kids and transform them into a set of vampire cops to kill us off.

When is it all going to stop? Unnu want fi know the answer fi dat? Well only until we learn to love others as ourself will all this genocide of our own stop. My people wi nahhhh support no form of negitivity. Rehabilitation and Readjustment of ourself as a nation i man sey.

Love unu self my people or we going to dissolve like we were not meant to be here.

Movado Stay Strong Youth. Cuban Forgive and let the people fighting themselves know that there is better livity.

People unnu Love unnu self too much, learn fi love others. We are all one, A Dat The Almighty Sey fi tell unu.

Posted by: Gallis on March 30, 2008 03:16 PM

The ting weh most people fail fi realize is dat before Movado there was violence and killings in Jamaica. The killings nah guh stop if di man stop sing him song dem. people nuh kill becuz ah man seh di word kill inna him song. di situation in Jamaica is much deeper than that. poverty in Jamaica has not improved in yrs and it is unfortunate that to survive these people have to turn to doing evilous things. Movado is not the source to Jamaica's problem and using him as an example wont make things betta, it will probably get worse!!

Posted by: cassava cuban on April 1, 2008 10:46 AM

Listen a lot of u guys are talking about the artist dem fi try and make a difference but what about the government come on people i'm talking to all those who born and grow a jamaica not the wanna be's now real jamaican who know what hard life is all about, who know what it's like fi get up today and don't know where your next meal is coming from, who have to wear them shoes go a school all when it buss outand the list goes on u guys know how life is in jamaica growing up in the ghetto life no sweet so u guys must look within yourselves and think what if most of u were still living in jamaica what would u be doing right now maybe most of u wouldn't be alive right now so u guys can't be putting down the ghetto youths like that because nuff a u get lucky and get a chance fi go a foreign u can say whatever but what about the ones that are still living there today they don't look at life like us there reality is i'm i going to make it through the day i'm i going to live to see tommorrow i still have brothers and sisters living in the ghetto today and all i can do for them is ask GOD to guide and protect dem everyday because i was one of the bless one who got the chance to leave jamaica so instead of us putting down each other and pointing fingers at the youths dem try and uplift dem. we are all jamaicans no matter what i love my people no matter how the world look at us and classify us as the worst jamaica has good people what about miss lou, bob marley, jimmy cliff, micheal lee chen, merley ottey, oliver,asafa powell etc jamaica is a great little island i guarantee u the same people that are putting us down are the same ones who are tryin to be like us so come on people i'm sure u don't see trinis, guyaneese, are st vincent people putting down each other like how we put down our own, only jamaicans always going after each other let's support our jamaican artist dem and stop wishing bad on another artist why because mavado get lock up it has to be kartel next that's negative talk let's hope non of them get's in trouble. AND JAMAICANS LET CONTINUE BEING OURSELVES AND NOT LIKE OTHERS ARE LIKE WHAT THE WORLD WANTS US TO BE no country is perfect look at those other countries america, africa, europe they are not perfect we just have to keep trust in GOD and don't forget we are also living in the END TIME the bible says AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END we cant do anything the bible must fulfil the word of GOD must come through we are living in SODOM AND GOHMORRAH times wake up people. love all my jamaicans world wide GOD bless u all
