edit_vegas_grenada.jpgThe New National Party (NNP) government in Grenada said it was forced to caution Jamaican dance hall artiste Vegas about using offensive lyrics during his recent live performance at one of its rallies, this according to a report on radiojamaica.com

Youth Minister Senator Emmalin Pierre made her disclosure in response to public concerns as the party faced a likely fall-out over another pre-election concert.

Local media have reported that Vegas' performance featured songs promoting drug use and branding women as prostitutes in the presence of ruling party officials.

Miss Pierre said the artiste was advised that he should immediately refrain from offensive lyrics and he complied.

Callers to talk shows had complained against the choice of some of the lyrics used by Vegas, some of which were played back on several local TV stations.

A month ago, there was public outcry following a concert with another Jamaican artiste Beenie Man.

This forced NNP officials to apologize for aspects of the event.

General elections are constitutionally due in Grenada by April 2009 but speculation has been mounting that polling day could be next month.

    I think the way u guys bad mouth my country is really f**ked up!! yes Grenada is a small country but we have wat it takes to make it far..Mr Vegas is one of the most loved dancehall artist in Greenz we love him but i think this article labeled him wrongly the NNP party just found that some of the music wasn't appropriate for the children and i dont agree with the comment that WE CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES R BRINGING DOWN EACH OTHER WHEN SOMETHING IS DONE IN A WRONG MANNER IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED..
