News Brief

No Alliance for Beenie Man's "Summer Sizzle"

beenie_bounty_mavado_summersizzle.jpgBeenie Man extended an invitation to Bounty Killer and Mavado to perform at his "Beenie Sizzle" event on August 6 at Jamalco Sports Complex, Halse Hall, Clarendon.

However, their manager, Head of Alliance Entertainment, Julian Jones-Griffith, has turned down the invite, even though the promoter of the event, Cabel Jeffrey Stephenson of Free People Entertainment, announced that if they attended the event they would be treated like royalty.

Regardless of a release stating that the artistes will be attending, Jones-Griffith stated that Mavado is already booked for another event on that date, and that Bounty will be overseas. Jones-Griffith said that that was an error made by the media.

As he was vague about the details of their engagements, Dancehall advocates for peace between the artistes are left wondering if this isn't only a ploy to avoid Beenie Man.

This malace between black people have to stop. This is a ploy to seperate us so we don't succeed in society. I am glad that Beenieman extented a invitation to Bounty and Mavado shows real class and character on his part. We need to unify all the artist in the dancehall community so we can show the youths that we are for peace and aganist any kind of violence. Black people unite, and I garaunteeu alot of the problems in Jamaica will start to diminish quickly, that I propose you. I hope Bounty and Mavado reconsider cause their my artist as well, and they have so much talent.. It's time for Jamaica to unite as one and stop killing our each other over foolishness. Pride can only carry a man so far. Put your pride aside for the goodness of humanity. God ova devil..

Let us see how authentic Beenieman and the promoters are, by extending the invite to the Twin of Twins. I bet the $10 dollars lef in Beeniman's pocket after the Back Taxes are paid that there is NO public invite for the Twins. Why? because the only reason that Beenie invited Bounty was because he knew he wouldnt come. However he fears the Twins much more than Killa, so No invite. Watch and See

Beenieman has mature alot far as I can see, and its seem to me Bounty & Mavado are only for today, they have bad sportsmanship whether or not they feud over the years, it's we the people make dem feel important, a mek dem have money in there pocket. Respect to Beenieman for stepping up like a man. A boy is a boy, and man a man..Alliance gwan like dem bad, and that does not look good on there image. straight up

I don't like reading what fools write, how many times fishinne friend killa and stab him in the back?, countless. never trust anyone who cant stand behind their word. the fish track record shows what he is about and if u are still a fan of his we know what u are about. said it himself that he is conniving, simple mean him heart no clean. BAD MAN NO FREN FISH, stainless bullet fi quar. ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!

I think if these artistes(Bounti & Beenie) are to make peace it should be on a nuetral ground. not at either artiste promotion. it will definately bring a bias to the invited artiste. we all know Beenie's fans are not Killa's bestfriends. i think its a good idea not to show up. - for peace and character sake.


Posted by: slim d on July 25, 2008 11:11 AM

ha ha here we go again BEENIE this BEENIE that, i was told if someone dont want your hand in friendship leave them alone and go in peace, wat so hard in that, u cant force someone to do wat they dont want to is call doing 'something against ur own will', why Beenie want Bounty and Mavado so badly at his show, wat the other artist are not good enuff Kartel will be there and thats all that matter to me,

he is always the one to start a trouble and be the first one to try to stop it , just so his fans could symphasize with him,
