A 52-year-old businessman of a Kingston 5 address has been rescued and his alleged kidnappers arrested following intense police work from the Organised Crime Investigation Division (OCID) and the Anti-Gang Special Team.
Police report that the man was kidnapped early Wednesday morning in the Corporate Area and his abductors had demanded a multi million dollar ransom. Following reports to the police, the man was rescued unharmed two days later.
He was found at a house on Little Kew Road in St Andrew.
Two members of the notorious Rat Bat gang were arrested. A third person escaped and is being sought.

Seems that ZJ Liquid’s ban from the air will soon be over.

According to a source, Liquid returns to ZIP FM this week after he was suspended in July for playing an expletive on air.

ZJ Liquid was suspended after he played an unedited version of Andrew and Wada Blood's Beggy Beggy on his 'Fresh 2 Death' segment. The ZJ immediately covered up the blunder by switching to another song, but not before it was noticed by a number of listeners.

Playing an expletive on air is in direct violation of the Broadcasting Commission's rules and regulations.

This was the ZJ's second offence since the start of the year. In February, Liquid was suspended indefinitely for playing an unedited version of Aidonia's Love It. The ZJ returned to air a month later.

A Facebook group, 'Put Zj Liquid back on air' was formed shortly after.

The page currently has over 8,000 fans.

On the page, a number of persons were awaiting confirmation as to when and if the Zip Jock would be back on air.

One person commented, "Jah know me radio all a ketch dust, it nuh tun on back from Liquid stop play pon Zip!"

Another person said, "Zip nuh good again without Liquid ... what happen to 'Fresh to Death Wednesday'... how we ago hear di fresh tunes, bossy, bus di youth! We need fi hear Liquid."

Yardflex just watched an interview with Yendi on Morning Time with Simon and Neville and we have to say that something looks suspicious.

Yes, she had on a ring on her engagement finger and she was doing her best to hide that hand.

Yup, we are not saying she is, but...it would be the smart thing of Asafa Powell to do after all ... other eyes must be on her right now!

Amidst reports of an alleged altercation between popular sound system selector Boom Boom and dancehall deejay Blak Ryno.

The artiste has issued a statement distancing himself from the incident and allegations and it read.

“ It has been brought to my attention that Boom Boom was attacked by a group of men said to be aligned to me at the popular street dance Uptown Mondays, this is rather unfortunate.

Though I was at the event with a few friends on the day in question, it was only for a short period of time and I left the venue long before the melee unfolded and went straight home.

Contrary to rumours, there was absolutely no physical or verbal exchanges between me and Boom Boom. As for the men who allegedly attacked him, neither do I know them nor are they affiliated to me or my camp in any way.

Presently I am focused on rebuilding my career and making good music for the masses. Being involved in verbal or physical confrontation is not the direction I am looking to take my career.”

In closing Blak Ryno whose given name is Romaine Anderson said fans can look out for a video soon and his new single ‘Feel Like Sey’ on the Swaggy Swaggy Rhythm produced by G-Jay Production among other upcoming projects.

Dancehall selector Boom Boom, in a radio interview yesterday, accused members of deejay Blak Ryno’s entourage of beating him badly at Uptown Mondays this week.

According to Boom Boom, who said his injuries sent him to the hospital and has forced the cancellation of some of his shows scheduled for the rest of this week, he was attacked because he did not play a song Ryno had given him while at the popular dance.


“Ryno send me a CD with a song, but I didn’t get to play it and by the time the dance over and I was packing up some bwoy come over to me and start talk.

Then one of them jump me and everything just get nasty,” Boom Bom said.


Taking the high road, he sent a message to Ryno, a former member of Vybz Kartel’s Portmore Empire, that everything was all right, he just wanted back his money that he had paid at the hospital.


The deejay lamented the loss of income as he was forced to cancel a number of engagements during this back-to-school season.


“And a prep school me daughter go…” he added.


Meanwhile, Blak Ryno says he wasn’t at the venue at the time of the incident and he heard about it via a telephone call.

He has apologized for the excesses of his fans and has said he will give back Boom Boom his hospital fe.

“Me and Boob Boom a friend,” Ryno stated.

How dem fi do BOOM BOOM DAT...?


All me can seh is selector work nuh easy yaah man.

What people ned fi understand is that when you see a selctor a play him already have an idea of what he will be playing, give him the chune b4 the night.

Imagine after dem ask boom boom fi play a one chune and him dont play it dem duss him.

Big and serious why police nuh stop arrest people – whether entertainer or regular folks for a one spliff.

It look real fool fool when them go court and we a hear bout di eediat fine. It show dat it was not a biggie n the first place.

Dem sey the court have a big backlog a cases and then dem a waste di court time wid dem fool fool case.

Check out fi artiste Ghost case the other day when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Thursday to answer charges of possession of ganja.

He was fined $100 or 10 days imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to the offence.

The accountant and attorneys for dancehall deejay, Bounty Killa, will be seeking a meeting with the Tax Administration Services Department this week to clarify his tax debt.

Enforcement officials of the Tax Department swooped down on the entertainer's residence at the Oaklands Apartments on Friday and seized two high end motor vehicles, a Range Rover and a Land Cruiser Prado, owned by him.

The Tax Department reported that it seized the vehicles in its bid to recover $12 million in taxes owed by Bounti Killa, whose real name is Rodney Pryce.

However, the entertainer's attorney Linda Wright told RJR News that there is some dispute over the figure.

“They just say he owes $12 million ... we know we had filed (taxes) for the year 2000 but then he taken objection for the year 2001, 2003.

However, the document (that they) left when they seized the vehicle only indicated that he was owing $12 million … we don’t know if this is in penalty, fees and principal, we don’t know for what year,” she said.

“That has to be clarified and his accountant will be meeting with Tax Department tomorrow for some clarification as to what period they’re saying the taxes are owed for because he had paid but had objected to some of them,” Mrs. Wright added.

Reports are that two vehicles belonging to deejay Bounty Killer were this morning seized by the persons affiliated with the Tax Administration Department.

The deejay, whose real name is Rodney Price, was reportedly not at his Oaklands townhouse this morning when police personnel, two wreckers and the tax officers paid a visit sometime after 7:00am.

Residents report that the vehicles -- a black range rover and Lincoln Prado -- were placed on the wreckers and driven out of the complex.

Last month, deejay Elephant Man had his red convertible Benz seized by the same department.

Bounty Killer could not be reached fro comment.

You would think that life is hard nuh hell, without taking up your money and giving it away just like that.


The latest is a story that was carried in the Star warning people to be careful of con men posing as furniture worker and relating a story where one woman fell victim to them.


Come on now, you meet someone at a bus stop claiming that he works at a furniture store and he can give you a great backdoor deal and you take your money and give him. We don’t care what kind of ID he is showing, the odds of him being legit is like 99 to 1.

Cheapness can cost you in the long run. How about shopping around for the best deal? And in any case, he would be stealing to get you that cheap furniture, so you are one of those fostering theft.


We are tired of hearing of the stupid cons that sensible adults are falling for.
Three Miles area of all the places where you find pick pockets, con artists and you only know what, hanging out there.


Please people, hold on tight pon unno money and stop give it away like that.

The daggering thing doan good, cause sometimes it might just cost you your life. According to a report in the paper an eighteen year old lost his life as a result of the wrong alliance.

Seems that he ‘daggered’ his enemy’s woman and ended up being stabbed to death.

Allegations are that he was stabbed and killed while at a river party on Sunday, supposedly over an argument about a girl with whom one of the men was dancing.

The teenager was reportedly stabbed then pronounced dead at the Port Antonio hospital following an altercation with another man while they were patrons at a dance at Rivers View, Rio Grande Valley, in the parish early Sunday morning.

Police sources from the division reported that they have heard the two men were at odds for a while and have had previous run-ins with each other.

Their paths crossed again while at the party and are said to have become involved in a heated argument, after one of the men was seen 'daggering' a female said to be a close friend of the other.

"Investigations are ongoing but nothing is confirmed just yet.

But based on what we have heard so far the two men had been at odds for a while now and things boiled over while they were at the party," a detective corporal from the parish said when contacted yesterday.

"We heard that one saw the other dancing with a woman said to be close to the other and that started the argument. This is one of the arguments we will be looking into."

A 20-year-old who was taken into custody was not charged up to press time last night.

What di hell that we reading in the Star. See it there now, things getting outa control just through we have these rights people breathing dung unno necks. Check out this story and tell us where the cousin rights were in all of this.

According to the Star story the Manchester police are investigating the circumstances surrounding an incident involving a man who was allegedly buggered by his cousin.
Information gathered through the Constabulary Communication Network and police sources from the parish suggest that the incident occurred on August 8, in the Somerset community of the parish.
Investigators were reluctant in giving out the details of the incident, but say the complainant who is in his early 20s reported that he was taken into bushes against his will and buggered by his cousin.
A report was made to the Mandeville CIB.
"We can confirm that such a report was made but it is a very sensitive issue and we are investigating," a corporal from the Mandeville CIB told the paper.
Meanwhile, word of the incident has reached the other sections of the parish and is being hotly discussed.

Seet deh now, dem have di poor DJ lock up till him a bawl now fi get bail.

According to the story he was relocated from the Spanish Town lock-up recently after it is alleged that he threw urine on a policeman.

Vassell, who is facing a rape charge in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court, was reported to have done the act early last week.

Allegations are that the incident occurred after Zebra started to defy the rules of officers on duty at the jail. He is reported to have confronted an officer and then the liquid was thrown on him. The police is reported to have then subdued the accused.

In the meanwhile, the preliminary inquiry in the deejay's rape case starts today in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court and will continue tomorrow.

Yesterday, Vassell told the court that he was on doctor's treatment as a result of being beaten when the incident took place at the lock- up.

All we can say is dat him lucky dem neva beat him out a di rest a him senses.

Bwoy wi just wish wi know what’s really going on in this case.

Check out some a whey Star sey…According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, 31-year-old Davis has been released since April 9, 2010.

However, when contacted, Temple Black from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said, "I can confirm there is an ICE detainer but I cannot provide any further details based on our privacy policy."

An ICE detainer, according to the Immigration Policy Center website immigrationpolicy.org, is a "tool used by ICE and other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials to identify potentially deportable individuals who are housed in jails or prisons nationwide.

An immigration detainer is an official request from ICE to another law enforcement agency (LEA) - such as a state or local jail - that the LEA notify ICE prior to releasing an individual from local custody so that ICE can arrange to take over custody."

Meanwhile, sources close to Davis said they have not spoken to him but they have heard that the artiste is currently in prison in Philadelphia, United States. There are also speculations that he is in witness protection. There were also other theories that he was in a Philadelphia prison on a different charge.

Now you know why our fellow Caribbean people doan want wi deejays inna dem country.

Poor dancehall

THREE members of the Adijah 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer entourage are expected to appear in court today to face charges of assault and damage after an alleged airport brawl on Monday afternoon.

Palmer, a popular dancehall musician, was in town to perform at the weekend birthday event of Sebas Bastian, a local events promoter.

Jamaican-born Palmer and his entourage were scheduled to leave Nassau for Kingston at 2.10pm on Monday when police were called to break up a fight in the men's bathroom of the international departure lounge.

Police reports state that several of the offenders "damaged property" and "assaulted a passenger" who was also scheduled to travel on the Air Jamaica flight.

The flight was delayed for several hours because of the altercation."It was a group of them that ganged the guy, but he could only identify three of them.

They were punching him all over. We allowed the ones he could not identify to go," said Assistant Superintendent Dennis Dames, officer-in-charge of the airport police station.The names of the three men in custody were not released up to press time.

ASP Dames said the police were still considering more charges, and would release the names after completing the process.

"The brawl started where you had these Jamaican men, five of them, in the men's bathroom with three Jamaican girls. The complainant wanted to use the bathroom.

Upon entering the bathroom he said 'excuse me' he needs to use the bathroom, 'why are the women in there?' The Jamaican guys attacked him," he said.He had no comment as to why the men and women were in the male bathroom in the first place.The complainant was a Bahamian employee of Spirit Airlines based in the United States.

He opted not to travel on the Air Jamaica flight after the incident. Police reports indicate his injuries were "minor.

"ASP Dames said the airline was responsible for allowing the men who were released from custody to board the flight, even though there were claims that other passengers were "concerned." No Air Jamaica spokesperson could be reached for comment.

"A lot of passengers were agitated that this Jamaican gang were (allowed on the plane). They were kind of afraid of them coming back on the airplane. That was not our call. That was the airline's call," said ASP Dames.

The Public Sector Transformation team has reported that among the current undertakings in Government which have been unnecessarily costing the taxpayers billions of dollars is the fact that dead persons are on the Government’s payroll.


The Public Sector Transformation Unit has reviewed all government agencies and has made suggestions on where there should be staff cuts and mergers.


A key aim of the process, which is being undertaken over an 18-month to two-year period, is to achieve a lowering of the public sector wage bill, in relation to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to below 10 per cent.


The GDP is the total value of goods and services of a country.

Reggae singer Barbee was booted from Sean Kingston’s Letting Go video featuring rapper Nikki Minaj after playing his leading lady.

It is understood that Barbee may have been cut from the video after Nikki Minaj intervened. So, could this be a battle of the Barbie’s?

From what Yardrlex understands Barbie seemed liked the leading lady in the video and Nikki just could not deal with that.

A video was posted on youtube showing Barbie before the final cut and all we have to say was ‘maad!” The video also generated a lot of comments but it was soon quickly pulled off the site.

What can we say…she must have been reigning on someone’s parade.

Everybody know seh Pamputtae proud a har tickness and har agility, but people, there's more to Pamputtae than that.

Check out this story in the Jamaica Observer. Hmm all we can say is that others should be just as vigilant about their intellectual property.

Brooke Hogan, singer, star of a reality show and daughter of wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan has been sued by local recording/production company Jam 2 Productions, run by the son of veteran producer Hugh 'King Jammy's' James, a release from the company states.

"A lawsuit has been filed in Manhattan, USA against the Sobe Entertainment artiste for failing to compensate or credit Jam 2 Productions, members Jammy James (Jam 2) and Camar Doyles (Flavaunit) who were approached in 2006/2007 for production work on her sophomore album, The Redemption which was released in 2009," the release said

According to Jam 2 business contact, Brian Hugh, Jam 2's brother, Trevor James was affiliated to Hogan's label, Sobe Entertainment and it was he who brought the two entities together.

"Sometime in 2006 Brooke Hogan and her reps from SoBe visited King Jammy's studio in Waterhouse where a verbal agreement was made that Jam 2 would work on a project with Hogan for which they would be paid and would also get credit on the album, but none of that was done," Hughes explained to the Observer via telephone.

According to the release, the production also included a 2001 song performed and written by Camar Doyles aka Flavaunit entitled Come On, Come, On.

"Brooke and Sobe used the song, but changed it up, adding her own lyrics, and changing the name of the song to Trust Me. Again, Brooke and Sobe said they'd pay and credit Jam 2 Productions, which to this day has not been forthcoming.

"Jam 2 Productions became alerted when the song Trust Me was deleted from their MySpace account claiming a Copyright Infringement.

Jam 2 Productions immediately contacted their lawyer Jon Jekielek in New York who immediately issued two letters to SoBe Entertainment both of which returned unanswered. Mr Jekeilek was then instructed to take full action and on Monday August 2, 2010, a formal lawsuit was issued in court," the Jam 2 release stated.

Hughes told the Observer that Jam 2 has all the relevant material to support their claim that the song is theirs, including the Pro Tools file.

"The Pro Tools file is an important pice of evidence and it tells the history of the recording project," he explained. "The project was recorded overseas, but we have kept our files in order," Hughes added.

Jam 2 is claiming US$200,000, including punitive damages for failure to pay and credit Jam 2 Productions on the musical composition, melody and lyrics of the song Trust Me which is performed by Brooke Hogan on the album The Redemption.

Hughes admitted that while it was not the norm for producers to work on project without an advance, there are cases when "agreements are worked out".

Usher and Chris Brown are rumored to have hit the studio together while they were in Jamaica this weekend.
The rumors were confirmed by a source close to Usher but no details were given about the collaboration with Chris Brown.
Usher brought out Chris Brown as his guest and both performed at Sumfest in Jamaica.
People are STILL talking about the dance competition that ensued after they took the stage.
Native Jamaican Dancehall artist Elephant man even joined in the dance-off but nobody has officially declared a clear winner yet.
You can view the dance-off in the related video section below.

Company uses singer's image and likeness on T-shirt without permission



There are many enterprises that profit tremendously from merchandizing in various areas of sports, among these giants is Adidas.

There are no barriers or boundaries that hasn’t been penetrated territorially or otherwise by Adidas’s dominance in the world’s sporting market-place globally.


Even The Blackheart Man, Bunny Wailer surviving member of the Bob Marley And The Wailers fame, supports Adidas by purchasing and wearing Adidas sportsware during all the years of his sporting experience and up until this present time, especially in the sport of soccer.


However, there has been a violation of the privacy of Bunny Wailer. A photograph of Bunny Wailer playing soccer in the privacy of his home in the mountains, was used by Solomonic Productions on an album cover titled “Bunny Wailer Sings The Wailers” (see album) in 1980.

In later years, the full image of said photograph was first seen on an unauthorized reproduction on T-shirt with the logo, trademark and trade name Adidas incorporated. This action by Adidas is illegal and a violation of Bunny Wailers rights and privileges incorporated in said photograph and which does not use the name of the singer.

For over 15 years Adidas has sold and withheld to themselves all the profits derived from the returns from the exploitation of the illegal Bunny Wailer product globally, beginning from in the late 80’s up until 2008.


On two separate occasions, it was brought to the attention of Bunny Wailer, but he could not have addressed the matter based on certain circumstances. An approach was made in writing to Adidas by Solomonic Productions’ on behalf of Bunny Wailer in accordance with the discovery of piracy.


Adidas’s negative and disappointing response to Solomonic Productions letter, was passed on to Bunny Wailers legal representative.

The lawyer in response to Adidas’s letter to Solomonic Productions’ pointed out the violations and damages done to Bunny Wailer in accordance with the illegal exploitation of his image and likeness.

The lawyer therefore, introduced a method and means of correcting the abuse in an appropriate and civilized manner, which was ignored and dismissed by Adidas, continuing the demonstration of their selfishness, disrespect and disregard for justice and fair play.


Bunny Wailer is therefore faithfully depending and relying upon the unified power of support from the ever loving Reggae and Bunny Wailer fans, friends, family and populace globally, to rally along with Reggae’s Living Legend in this legal claim and battle for justice from the world sporting giant Adidas.


“LET JUSTICE REIGN”

Imagine we come cross a story in di Observer business section and we shock so till.

You know that even though Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) has reduced the reserve requirements for commercial banks, a new kind of banking fee is making customers pay for having too little money in their accounts.


According to the story the two largest commercial banks in Jamaica by branch network charge depositors a fee for balances below a certain amount.

Scotiabank charges $150 per month for balances below $5,000, while the National Commercial Bank (NCB) charges $50 per month for balances below $2,000.

Estimates are that up to 60 per cent of the deposits in commercial banks are below $5,000.


Now, the only thing we have to say to savers is this, if you find that you nuh have no money to bank and you have below those two figures quoted.

Instead of losing $50 and $150 monthly until there’s nothing left in the book. Close the account and open one with the credit union instead and forget bout di bank dem star.

From now on more of my money will be going into the credit union, cause at the end of the day, we looking for the banks to come up with more fees to dig into your savings.

• Portland mada woman pulls nail out of Sugar’s ‘balls’

There is absolutely no doubt that Lincoln ‘Sugar’ Minott was an icon in Reggae/Dancehall music.

The singer passed away on Saturday, July 10, at the University Hospital of the West Indies and even as family await the autopsy report there have been ‘other reports’ regarding the cause of death of the great man, who also had a heart condition.


Yardflex sources close to Sugar have revealed that in the week leading up to his death, Sugar had reported feeling unwell and had been carried to a highly respect “mada woman” in Portland for healing.

Reports are that the obeah woman freed up Sugar by pulling a nail, a half a CD and ring from various parts of his body. Immediately after this “surgery” was performed, Sugar declared that he was feeling much better, only to take ill on his way back to Kingston and died two days later.


“Bwoy, you waan see, Miss Roberts pull a nail outta Sugar balls and a half a CD outta him head,” the source stated.


He continued, “Even a ring wha' dem couldn't find fi years, Mis Roberts pull it ouuta Sugar side.”


Reports are that Miss Roberts also told Sugar Minott that one of his six baby mothers was trying to 'tie' him and that was one of the reasons for him feeling so sick.


“Afterwards, she give him something to drink and give him a bath and when him leave him seh him feel betta,” the YardFlex source reported.


However, Sugar Minott reportedly fell ill subsequently and had to be hospitalized.

The cause of death is still unknown, but there are reports that his belly became swollen and in some quarters there are speculations that the singer had been poisoned.


Among Sugar Minott’s hits is the song with the line, “More than one woman in my life/And all a dem a fight to be my wife/But I have enough love for everyone…”


Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized.

Now we know why deejay Vybz Kartel didn’t want to turn himself in to the police. See there now him going to miss Reggae Sumfest and all the other shows he has been booked for.

Yup, Yardflex has it on good authority that he has been detained for another 30 days.

The DJ will have to spend another 30 days behind bars after the authorities extended his five-day detention order.

However, his lawyer Tavares-Finson said that the legal team would be seeking the entertainer's release at the Emergency Powers Review Tribunal set up in the wake of the calling on May 23 of a State of Public Emergency to combat criminals loyal to accused drug lord and former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.

Vybz Kartel's five-day detention order was scheduled to end today, his lawyer said.

Due to the extension of his detention, the artiste will now miss several bookings, both local and overseas, including the annual summer show Reggae Sumfest in a few weeks time

Just as he’s getting ready to announce where he’ll play the coming years, basketball superstar, LeBron James, and his mother, Gloria James, are being sued for a whole-lot-of money by some guy who claims to be the b-ball super star’s biological father.

According to TMZ, the man says he attempted to prove that he is LeBron’s biological father, but LeBron and his mother tampered with the evidence to cover it all up … bizarre.

Leicester Bryce Stovell, who is 55-years-old, claims in the lawsuit that he met Gloria in a D.C. bar in 1984 and had unprotected sex the night they met. He later found out she was only 15 at the time and he was 29. Wowzers!

Get this, he isn’t some crazy old man trying to make a buck, at least he doesn’t appear that way. He’s a Princeton graduate who earned a law degree from the University of Chicago! He became the senior legal advisor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The details of the lawsuit are tremendous. He says his memory is recalls him apologizing for a mediocre performance to Gloria that evening!

He also claims that Gloria took her pregnant self back to Ohio but showed back up several months later to inform him she was carrying a boy she named LeBron, but never specified whom the father was.

Stovell says he recalls telling the 15 year-old that if it is his to make sure he plays basketball. That was the last the two were in contact.

In 2007, the educated man contacted Gloria, telling her how he thinks LeBron may be his son, as he was intrigued with how similar he and the basketball player look. After threatening Leicester to stay away from LeBron’s money, a few days later, he claims LeBron agreed to take a DNA test.

Allegedly, the test came back negative, but Leicester became

suspicious of the claim and suspected the Jameses tampered with the test. He says LeBron tampered with it due to pent up anger.

So now he’s suing them for $4 million for fraud, defamation, and misrepresentation. Hmm, his guy just might know what he’s doing.

Still wi hear sey promoter abandon dem inna hotel without di bills paid and all dese tings. No sah, a real almshouse affair dat still.

6 women To Keep Away From Your Man

We can never control the actions of our men. We can never be with them 100 percent of the day and yes there must be elements of trust in every relationship. However! That does not mean that we must be so trusting that we are foolish. Some men are weak. So weak that they sometimes needs assistance in preventing themselves from getting in trouble. This is why there are certain women that you, as his wife/girlfriend/ fiancé, keep him as far away from as possible. There are certain circumstances where you may have no choice but to allow him near her due to the fact that they may work together, or dated once. However, my advice to you is that if you cannot find a way, then you make a way. Having said that, the following are a short list of chicks to keep your man away from.

1. The Low Self Esteem Chick

You know this girl. The girl with self esteem so low that she will do almost anything for attention from a male. It does not matter how minuscule the attention is, she will take it. She is the one that is lacking self love and wants someone to confirm it for her. She needs men to tell her how beautiful and wonderful she is constantly. Sometimes chicks like this are unfortunate enough to rarely receive any male acknowledgment which is why they have to seek it out so desperately. Her antics sometimes appear to be over the top because in essence they are a cry for attention from anyone with a penis.

2. The Sluttish Friend

She is the one chick in your crew of friends who is a sweet heart and would give you her whole paycheck and food stamps if you needed it BUT (there always is a but with people who are too nice) she is a whore. She might also be a border line nymphomaniac. She will sleep with anyone and I do mean anyone. It does not matter to her if he is in a relationship, married, single, your daddy. She could care less about his relationship status and who he fathered. Her only goal is to get hers. She is the chick that will side line hate on you when you guys are at the club and she notices that guys are giving you more attention than her. This enrages her inside but she does not show her annoyance. Instead this is her cue to do some hoe s**t. Like motion for everyone in the group to look at her and then stick an entire popsicle down her throat without gagging then innocently giggle the words “wow, that was cold” . Please ladies, I call upon all of you to pop this chick in the back of her damn head when she commits such debaucherous acts.

3. The Model Chick

I have some leniency with this chick because truth be told, she cannot help that she is gorgeous, or modelesque. Blame God for that one. This chick might be a good person at heart and have no ill intentions towards you or your relationship. The only problem with her is that she is every man’s dream girl and secretly every man fantasizes of boning a model chick. This has nothing to do with her necessarily being prettier than you but more so to do with egoism. It feels good to a man for him to utter the words “I nailed a model”. Why uttering those words is enough to make any strong, young vital man release some man ooze right in his pants legs. Despite her innocence in this, just to prevent temptation on your man’s part, keep these two as far apart as possible…..

4. The Needy/Annoying Ex-Girlfriend

This is your current boo’s ex lady friend. She is the one who had a “special bond” with. So much so that they still keep in contact and remain friends. Which would not be a problem if she did not still depend on him emotionally for comfort. She is the one who will call him crying after she gets laid off from her job or realizes she is in love with a loser who treats her like crap. Yet, she still sees your man as her place of solace and peace. He is the one man in her mind who truly “gets her”. Which is why she will never completely let him go. Secretly she is waiting on him to dump you so she can pounce on him like Beyonce does her leotards. Which is why she needs to get the boot. Or at least have some restrictions put on this chick. For instance, no she cannot call him after a certain time of night. It does not matter how horrible her date was. She better suck it up till the morning.

5. The Golddigger

This wallet muncher is the one who can smell a man with an IRA account from 10 miles away. She has a greyhound nose for mutual funds, and off shoe accounts. She may be someone your man works with but has a lower level position. Perhaps a secretary, or the cute receptionist he passes every day while coming into the office or his new young and bouncy personal assistant that the staffing agency sent over. Her subservient position matters not to her. She is not there to pursue her own career achievements and success. She has an agenda of the romantic nature. She is there to find a husband. If you are fortunate enough to have a man with some green backs then keep this heffa far away! I guarantee you she will do whatever it takes to try to get him to sleep with her. She has a plan. Part of that plan is to seduce your man, get him to leave you, and ultimately either have him impregnate her or have a pre-nup free marriage. She does not care about this man at all. She cares about his wallet and all roads leading to it. I guarantee you that she would not stay with him longer than the time required to receive the biggest divorce settlement. She is in it to win it and her financial security is the prize. Muff her hard in the face and tell her to keep it moving.

6. The Sex Kitten

She is similar to the sluttish friend and the low self esteem chick but different in the way that she is much more self aware. Her actions do not come from a place of inferiority, self consciousness, or pure nymphomania. See, she realizes that she has nothing to offer a man but her body. She has little to no personality, she isn’t the brightest bulb in the room. She might have been told these things all her life which is why now she focuses all her energies into increasing/maintaining her looks. She has nothing else to offer. Nothing . Not only does she realize this, she accepts it! She embraces her honey pot and treats it like a golden muffin. She also knows all men’s weakness. Sex. So, she purposely and boldly, uses sex to seduce men. She is the one who might be working anywhere! Anywhere! Even a Starbucks and will be the only barista with her blouse unbuttoned so far down that you can just make out the her sexy pink Victoria Secret bra. Pretty isn’t it? Yeah it is and your man will think so too as he is unsnapping it with his mouth. Bottom line. He needs to find a new Starbucks to go to.

Dancehall fashionista Michelle Downer, aka D’Angel has once again hit the television screen, this time as the new spokeswoman for Access Financial Limited.

The television commercial released this week features her endorsing the company’s wide array of products and services while giving her own testimony and encouraging other to become a part of the growing financial institution.

Access Financial Services Limited is a provider of small and micro business and personal loans. Established in 2000, Access now operates from seven locations in Kingston, Morant Bay, Portmore, Spanish Town, Mandeville, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.

According to the company’s Management, “Our vision is to provide financial solutions for every Jamaican with a mission to provide our customers with innovative financial solutions and unparalleled customer service, through a tailored range of products.”

And it was with this mindset that D’Angel was chosen to represent the company in an official capacity. She also endorses other brands locally including Digicel Jamaica, Coke Zero and G-Force.

A how did big time, hype selector outta Miami a flex so? The man have people a send out email a state all kinda sitten sitten bout him.

Just like how a certain artiste manager did a try a ting wid a producer outta Europe and last week the producer just send out a email to everybody pon di manager mailing list a ask bout him money. Dem tings really don’t look good. People must just know she honesty is the best policy. And if oonu don’t have money fi tek vacation, tan a you yaad. And, to the producer, we haffi seh: a long time you deh bout and people always have all kinda sitten fi seh bout you. Is about time you leggo dem lickle crooked ways, cause in the long run a did artiste a go suffer. Just free up did man outta Europe, cause him can do nuff tings fi help did artiste career.

Today, Father’s Day many sperm donors will be bigging up their chests and taking credit for a job they have no business celebrating.


It is disgusting the amount of children out there that are not being supported by these bums who are claiming the right to fatherhood.


The list could go on and on of the many single mothers out there who are juggling to make two ends meet, just so they can give their children a good education.


Then there are those who are trying their luck through the court system, to see if they can even get a stipend from the no good men who fathered their children.


It is our hope that today, will make some of these donors look into themselves and realize that they are badly lacking, and start to do something about it.


Anyone can father a child, but it takes something special to be a good dad.

It is a shame to hear men bragging about the many kids they have, but you don’t see them making an effort to spend quality time, or effectively take care of them.


Thumbs down to these dead beat dads.

Bwoy when Junie Platinum did a sing bout 40 And Over, we never know seh certain empress woulda did tek it so serious and go deh wid schoolas.

As the Dudus saga plays itself out in Kingston, two of the questions that remain unanswered are 'why is the United States pushing so hard?' and 'why now?'.

The world is full of dons and drug lords, not to mention the fact that the American plate is full with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a billion Muslims who are being encouraged to attack anywhere at anytime. You would think that they had more immediate things to concentrate on.

Yet they continued to poke and push, treating every Jamaican that went through U.S. customs like a criminal, openly questioned the personal honesty of the Prime Minister Bruce Golding and even suggested that the Jamaican Labour Party were in violation of their mandate to govern Jamaica.

In fact, the Americans haven't even got an Ambassador to Jamaica anymore. Obama has left the position open, a serious diplomatic slap in the face. All of this tension is for the Don of Tivoli Gardens? Something isn't right. Dudus just isn't that big of a problem.

The idea that outside interests have manipulated the situation for a long time begins to form when you question the truth of what we are being told.

For two years now Dudus has had an excellent run, controlling the docks in Kingston (on Tivoli Gardens turf, and the true value of the constituency) with his buddies running the government.

He has grown more powerful than ever before, with so much money that he doesn't have to rely on politicians for anything.

In the old days back in the 1970's, when the street gangs were first created by the political parties, they had to get their weapons and cash from the JLP or the PNP, but since the cocaine business showed up, that relationship has slowly turned full circle. Now the politicians need the gangs to control the vote, but the gangs don't need the politicians for support. They have become an independent power.

The outside control in this is that the international cocaine business is not run by Jamaicans. Nobody manufactures coke on the island, it all comes in from South America, mostly Colombia.

Somebody else determines how much of their product is moved through Jamaica, which in turn determines how much money ends up in the hands of the gangs.

Dudus is more powerful than ever before because whoever is controlling The Business decided that he would make him powerful. In fact, it looks like they wanted him to become a 'threat to national security', and be such a handful that outside military assistance might be necessary.

Since the Iran-Contra hearings in the United States in the early 1980's, the world has known that the biggest player in the illegal drug business is the U.S. military.

The enormous wealth involved is enough to weaponize entire armies of 'insurgents', which are then used to destabilize any country they choose. They have the best killers, the best weapons and the best intelligence, and it's all in cash.

No records. There are American military troops on the ground in Colombia and Afghanistan, by far the largest producers of cocaine and heroine respectively. This is no accident.

So it isn't a stretch to consider the idea that growing Dudus into a serious problem was a manipulation that was within the control of U.S. interests.

By why flare it up now, and why so hard? Why would the United States want Jamaica to descend into chaos now?

One idea that comes to mind is oil.

Try this one on for size - although Jamaica has never produced a single drop of oil, has no wells, no rigs, no infrastructure, the Minister of Mining and Energy, James Robertson, spent March, 2010 in England, and April, 2010 in the United States, presenting 'Jamaica's Second Formal Licensing Round 2010', billed as 'New Prospects, New Opportunities', to the Geological Society of England and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. The agendas for these meetings are on the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica's website.

He reviewed the new seismic data just before the first coffee break at 10:00 am, and the bid procedures info around 11:30, just before the lunch break, and in between talked about the investment climate in Jamaica. He was in New Orleans during the second week of April, and was in Texas at the end of the month.

By May 22nd, just three weeks after showing all of this data to the oil executives in the States, Jamaica found itself suddenly on the verge of crisis, and American military personnel were seen landing at Manley International in Kingston. The next day, May 23rd, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, went on national television to declare a state of emergency.

Add to this the fact that the Government of Jamaica signed a new $1.27 billion US '27 Month Standby Agreement' with the International Monetary Fund for balance of payment support in February, 2010, and a different set of motivators enter the picture.

Less than a month later the Jamaican Minister of Mining and Energy is out pimping a non-existent oil industry to England (controls the IMF) and the United States (controls the World Bank).

The per capita debt burden of Jamaica is the 4th highest in the world. Over 50% of the Capital Expense Budget goes to servicing the debt.

PM Golding has an impossible situation on his hands - he has to somehow find a way to impose financial discipline enough to keep up with the payments, but he has no way to build economy with what he has now. A Jamaican oil industry would help him out big time.

However, the real trick is going to be the fine print of that IMF restructuring agreement.

This same ploy was used on Argentina to force them to sell off State owned assets to raise the cash to pay the debt, which ended up with a Spanish oil company, Resopl YPF (odd in the fact that Spain has no oil, but is really a front for BP), owning all of the rights to Argentina's oil.

Later it was discovered that there are reserves of around 500 billion barrels just off the coast of the Falkland Islands. Argentina does not own it's oil because of IMF debt restructuring rules.

So in February Jamaica signs a new IMF debt restructuring package, and in March the Mining and Energy Minister is in England presenting new seismic data and bidding instructions on an industry that doesn't exist, and in April he's doing the same thing in the United States, which is about the time the Deep Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded.

Three weeks into May, Kingston has been transformed into a war zone by unrelenting and unexplained American pressure, which includes American military on the ground.

Hmmm. Three weeks after showing the data to the Americans, there are armed U.S. troops on the ground in the capital city.

The Deep Horizon might have something to do with that.

One of the facts that CNN doesn't talk about much is that BP was drilling way, way deeper than anybody knew. The deepest working oil well on earth is around 20,000 feet, but six months ago the Deep Horizon drilling tapped 35,000 feet when they had some sort of 'catastrophic event', which ended when they sealed it up and left things alone.

They were drilling again at 30,000 feet when the explosion happened. Outside of the rule breaking, they proved that the technology exists to go almost twice as deep as any working well, which means that they can now access oil that was once thought to be unattainable, in places that have never produced oil before.

At the end of 2008, Cuba announced to the world that it was sitting on 20 billion barrels of oil, the 12th largest deposits among countries, and that it was involved in developing it with Venezuela, Russia, Spain, Norway and India. Cuba is about 70 miles from Jamaica.

If you stand on the top of the Blue Mountains and look north, you can see the lights in Cuba.

If they have oil that deep, you can bet that Jamaica has oil that deep, and Haiti, and the Domincan Republic.

That earthquake in Haiti last January was suspicious from the start, but the 'over the top' response from the United States might now make sense.

The American military controls Haiti. The foreign assistance was an army of occupation. This week they landed in Jamaica.

The bidding process for the contracts to develop these new Jamaican oil fields are in play right now.

An armed foreign military in the middle of your capital city is a very powerful negotiating tool, and that brand new $1.27 billion IMF loan restructuring came with some nasty conditions, and that runaway well is pumping out an enormous amount of oil, which is going to raise a few questions about just how much oil is down that deep and when can the rest of the world start drilling for it?

Jamaica needs an oil industry before it can sell it to the Americans to pay off the debt.

That's why the IMF and the World bank were created to begin with, to manipulate poor countries into such an enormous debt load that they would have to sell off their natural resources and utilities to pay it. This is the plan in action.

The cat jumped out of the bag before the deal was done when that well exploded, but now it's living proof of the size of the discovery, which is apparently big enough to destroy all life on the planet if BP can't figure a way to shut it down. That's a lot of oil. America wants to wrap this one up fast.

For 600 years they've taken all of the wealth from sugarcane and fruit. For the past 70 years they've taken all of the wealth from bauxite and alumina. For the past 40 years they've taken all of the wealth from tourism.

Now more money is in play than all of that combined. Black Gold. Texas Tea. The Devil's Blood.

One of the largest oil deposits ever discovered.

This whole Dudus soap opera is really just a manipulation to create a situation where America can get their hands on Jamaican oil, which most Jamaicans don't even know about.

If America is involved, you know it's about money.

The only solution is probably impossible. Every single Jamaican has to ask themselves if they love Jamaica enough to make peace with each other. This attack is on Jamaica, not Jamaicans.

They are just the victims, but the oil the Americans want is as much a part of the island as the snow white sand, the swaying palm trees, the spectacular ganja or the incredible reggae.

This trick works only if Jamaicans battle with each other.



























If America can somehow manage this flare up to get a military presence on the island, they will control the oil.

The only path out is for each person to raise his spiritual consciousness to the point where they are prepared to forgive and make peace with their brothers and sisters.

Only Jamaicans can do what is necessary.

They are the living, breathing soul of Jamaica, and it is up to them to stand as one and shout out 'No More!'. If they don't then Babylon will crush them down like never before.

This isn't about JLP, and PNP, and Posse's, and Matthew's Lane, or Rema, or Tivoli Gardens, or Dudus, or running the docks, or selling cocaine. It's about manipulating all of that so Jamaicans see each other as the enemy, and keep warring. It's about Babylon stealing the Big Money while Jamaicans fight like dogs over the Little Money. There are at least 50 Garrisons in Jamaica, with 16 in Spanish Town alone.

There are around 20 Posse's affiliated with the JLP, maybe 30 affiliated with the PNP, and at least 30 Posse's that are 'unaligned' and can be hired when needed. It's an unstable combination that is designed to break down and destroy.

Dudus and the others like him have been played like a piano. They are the perfect excuse for American military intervention, 'one of the world's most powerful drug lords', according to CNN ...over and over and over again. The reality is that the DEA estimates the total cocaine volume through Jamaica each year at 100 metric tonnes, which is worth $25,000 per kilo if it's sold in North America. About $2.5 billion US. The estimated world total consumption of illegal drugs is $400 billion a year. The cocaine going through Jamaica is worth about half of one percent of the market. Nobody in Jamaica is in the top 200, let alone one of the most powerful.

The oil deal can alleviate all of the debt, all of the poverty, all of the illiteracy, all of the hunger, for every Jamaican on the island ...forever.

The palace that Jamaica was intended to be can be built, but Bablyon knows it, and has no interest in seeing the island become strong and independent.

The only way out of this trap is peace. How's that for a Babylon trick?

This could also be the work of Jah, forcing the right kind of threat into action so that the spiritual consciousness of every Jamaican shakes itself awake and realizes that they are blessed to be born at this time, that they are warriors who have been forced to endure the humiliations of poverty and oppression so that when the time came they had a voice and were aware, and would raise their game to the level required to finally free themselves.

Right now might be the most pivotal time in the entire history of Jamaica. Not 1834 and the end of slavery, not 1962 and Independence, not 1981 with the death of the Prophet Robert Marley, but 2010 and the discovery of oil, the point in time the future generations of Jamaican children will always remember as either the greatest of achievements or the worst of failures, when their parents and grandparents faced the demon straight on and decided what the future of Jamaica would be.

Simply put, are Jamaicans strong enough to forgive each other the past, in return for a better future? If they can, they win BIG. More wealth than anyone ever thought possible.

If they can't, then their children, and their children, and their children, will be doomed to the same vicious cycle of poverty, violence and oppression.

Are Jamaicans strong enough to fix this? Do they love their children enough to accept the responsibility to give up their claim to vengeance, so that their children can live free of the burden?

It's all on the line right now. That's why America is pushing so hard.

On May 25th, a Jamaican born Congresswoman in the United States, Yvetee Clark, was on the front pages in both countries, saying that she was going to seek the help of the U.S. State Department to restore peace and stability in Jamaica.

A State of Emergency had been declared for less than 48 hours and already 'Jamaica's best friend in the U.S. Congress' was calling for the release of American soldiers on Jamaican soil to kill Jamaicans. Nice.

We are looking at the beginning of an American military occupation of Jamaica.

Once they get control of the oil and begin to invest billions to develop it, the term 'Strategic Resource' will apply, which also means 'vital to U.S. national security interests', which will require U.S. military bases to protect it. Think Iraq.

This is part of the militarization of the Caribbean. It started in Haiti after the earthquake in January and it has reached Jamaica by May.

With WWIII looming in the Middle East, America is going to need new sources of oil, and with the Russians, Spanish, Venezuelans, Norwegians and India already active off of the coast of Cuba, they are playing catch up in Jamaica.

What is at stake is enormous - a change in the balance of power among the nations of the world. Done right, Jamaica will rise up. Done wrong, Jamaica will drop to it's knees and beg forever.

With that much money in play the corruption of politicians will be child's play. This gambit is for the sovereignty of the country.

It has little or nothing to do with gangs, cocaine, ganja, guns, violence or even Dudus. It is all about oil, soldiers and America taking it all ...again.

In just over a year from Cuba announcing to the world that there are huge oil reserves deep under the Caribbean, events unfold that result in an American military build up on Haiti, the island closest to Cuba.

In less than 30 days since signing the IMF debt restructuring agreement, Jamaica has to present their 'non-existent yet' oil industry to the people who control the IMF and World Bank, and offer a bid process.

In less than 30 days after presenting this data in the United States, the Dudus extradition conflict is escalated and Jamaica is destabilized.

You do the math. What do you think?

Is Dudus just a pawn, nurtured to become the perfect excuse to provide the necessary conditions for the presence of heavily armed American soldiers, on the ground in the capital city at the same time as the most important contracts in the history of Jamaica are open for bidding, immediately after the government restructures a $1.27 billion US debt package with the IMF, who has always used that situation to strip away a country's control of it's own natural resources and utilities, just as the United States is mobilizing to engage in a war with the Middle East and will need to guarantee themselves some new supplies of oil?

Does that sound possible?

Every Jamaican involved in this conflict has to stop fighting if they are going to save their oil wealth. The gangs, the leaders, the constables, the military, the politicians, the people.

America is good at this. They've done it before.

Stop the fighting. Save your oil. Change your world.

Mayor Mckenzie was in a tizzy over the fact that his house was raided by the police and added to that searched from top to bottom.

He is even requesting a meeting with the Commissioner of Police. Come on now, even the Prime Minister’s residence should be subjected to a thorough search by the police.


No one is above the law and no one is perfect – no matter what position they hold – whether Bishop, PM, MP they are all infallible.
Had it been the ordinary Jamaican house that was subjected to a search by the police that would have been that and nothing else. So why this big furor over the search.
He came on television stating that he didn’t know why they would think that criminals would be seeking refuge at his place – wow remember that Adams said that the best place to start searching for Dudus was at politician homes!.


An obviously upset Mayor McKenzie told RJR News that his son called him in a panic about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning to report that several police personnel were searching the house.


The Mayor, who hastily left a tour of Tivoli Gardens with Prime Minister Bruce Golding, to see about his house, said the incident left all his family members shaken up.


According to Mr. McKenzie, his family told him that the police personnel informed them that the search was being conducted based on intelligence that guns and gunmen were being harboured at the premises.


“I can't understand why because my place is the last place that anybody would come to seek refuge. I spoke to the Commissioner of Police and he told me one thing and what my family is telling me is something totally different.


“The Commissioner told me that the (police) saw a car which they deemed to be suspicious and because of the concerns, they came to search the car but they searched my entire house, so you can’t be protecting me and then be searching and looking for guns,” Mayor McKenzie said.


He added that the approach of the police personnel who went to his house was less than professional and questioned whether some police officers are abusing powers granted them under the current state of emergency.


“I can't prevent them from coming and searching and I don’t want to give the impression that because I (am a) victim. What I’m saying is that the powers must not be abused to cause embarrassment and I’m convinced that a lot of that is happening.


Well, the search has been done, nothing was found amiss so move on…next to another politician’s house.

A when Kingston a guh come alive again man.

Will the self-proclaimed Fluffy Diva, Miss Kitty be the host of the Digicel Rising Stars Chill room, or has Kitty already been put on ice, even before the new season begins?

Kitty herself had confirmed in April that the job was hers and she was all ecstatic about it; now reports have surfaced that the Fluffy Diva will not be seen on the popular talent show aired on TVJ.

But, as the Diva was reported by one paper as saying, “This is all news to me, I have heard nothing of the sort. The producers asked me to do a job and therefore it is up to them if they feel I am no longer what they require...but nobody has said that to me.”

Miss Kitty had been confirmed as the replacement for petite dynamo, Kerie ‘Kiki’ Lewis, who had been doing a fantastic job in the Pepsi Chill Room.

However, there is the feeling that Kiki’s decision to do a tell-all documentary about spending time in a US prison because of drug trafficking charges, led to her dismissal from Digicel Rising Stars.

Kitty is the host the afternoon show on RJR 94Fm, a member of the RJR group under which TVJ falls. She is also a judge on another popular television talent show, Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall.

“Right now, mi sorry seh mi apologise,” is the the passinate feeling from Reggae Queen, the runner-up in Saturday’s finals of the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall.


The crowd favourite in the competition, Reggae Queen was accused of using expletives inher set and was asked by the organisers of the televised talent competition to apologise. But Black Queen now says she did not use any offensive language and tha the organsiers know exactly what she was going to say, as they had signed off on her set.


“They’re too disgusting … they had already disqualified me in their mind but they still allowed me to vote like I had a chance when they already made up their mind ,” she said angrily.


“But mi understand now why they did it because they want to make it look like I did something wrong.

I did nothing wrong, all they are saying is that my set sounded too vulgar but I never used any expletives, I never cursed, after mi no stupid.

I was leading, mi know say mi win so why would I do that?” said the crowd favourite in the recently concluded Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall.


She explained that the producers of the show were well aware of the content of the lyrics she would use in the clash, and had even suggested that she make changes to particular verses they found too provocative. “They messed up and they are trying to blame me for it,” she said, bluntly.


“We were instructed to do three eight bar verses for the clash, and the people who work behind the scenes had heard my verses and told me to change a line that said ‘face wear out like toilet seat’ to ‘face wear out like car seat’, but now on the night, when I deejayed the part about ‘she swallow Gibraltar like hot tea’ dem beep it out like dem a come try style me and they had heard it before,” she said.


And in a magnanimous display, she offered her congrats to Bumper.
“Bumper gave a good performance, and mi have to congratulate her, she win, but mi feel say dem never give me a fair chance but that is life. Right now, mi ready to move on.”


Reggae Queen is already booked to perform at The Settlement on June 12 at the Kingston Polo Club.

On Sunday night everyone was expecting to hear that Prime Minister Bruce Golding had done the honourable thing and stepped down. Imagine the utter shock and surprise when Samuda faced the press with the words "No apology, no resignation".


I am now of the opinion that this government doesn't have any regard for the people and they take them for puppets where they can do anything and get away with it.


My suggestion is for the country to rise up and demand that the right thing be done. It's time that the people hold the government responsible for the affairs of the country. Until we realise that we are the ones with the power then they will always continue to do a they please.


It's time to let our voices be heard and stop allowing them to browbeat us.


Crime continue to soar with no real solutions, we we have an army that is considered among the best in the world, the police are out of their depths bring out the army and let them take over the troubled spots.


Guess the only time this government will think about doing something about the high crime rate is when the gun start to touch members of their own families - when they start to lose sons and daughters like the ordinary Jamaican.


Hope it never reaches that stage before they find a solution.


Peace out

A wonder a whey Bruce a guh do now that everybody a call fi him stept down.

It nuh look good at all, cause him is di Prime Minister so him can separate di PM job from di party leader role. JLP inna power and him a di leader fi it.

So him can sanction deal and den sey it neva have nutten fi do with the government. Why dis sound so familiar, whey yuh sey, somebody sey cock mouth kill cock.

A time fi di people dem a Jamaica demand more from dem leaders and stop gwaan like dme nuh got nuh sense.

well him sey a lighter gun, but di US people dem nuh believe dat deh story, suh nuh him under US probe.

Fi fi him sake, wi hope a never real gun. Ah bwoy, wi wish dem woulda just clean up dancehall image. Wi tiad a it.

Check out this story in the Star. You have to careful bout who yuh cheat wid!

Joe grind caught and killed

A man is on the run and a correctional officer dead following a fatal stabbing at Phase One, Seaview Gardens, St Andrew, after the deceased was reportedly caught by the other at the home of his child's mother.

The incident occurred at an area of the community known as 'Vietnam' on Monday.

Dead is Michael Andy, 36, of the community.

Police reports are that Andy visited Eagle Pathway, another section of Phase One, to see his girlfriend around 12:45 a.m. when another man, said to be the woman's ex-boyfriend, turned up.

Police said an argument developed between the two men and a knife was used to stab Andy several times. He later died at the Kingston Public Hospital.

Residents, however, gave a different version of the incident, saying the deceased man was 'Joe Grind'.

They said the alleged attacker, who is being sought by the police, revealed the ordeal before fleeing the community. He reportedly told the residents that he suspected his child's mother and Andy were in a relationship and so he conducted his own investigations.

A source from the Seaview Gardens Police Station admitted to hearing the explanation.

Residents said the man spoke about hiding in the closet on the day of the incident and then met up with Andy when he visited the house.

The incident has since become the hot topic on the lips of residents, some of whom blame the deceased for his own death by claiming he was wrong to go to the house.

"Him should a neva gone there. Di baby daddy nuh live deh eno, but him always deh bout. Di yute should a smarter than that," another resident said.

DJ Face is ready to 'face off' with Lisa Hyper at this year's The Settlement scheduled for June 12, at the Kingston Polo Club.


"Mi talk to Tommy (Thompson) and him prepared to pay me what I want, so mi have to be a part of this show.

Mi nuh fraid a Lisa Hyper, the last stage show mi work wid her inna Negril, mi crush her corn dem wicked and the dancehall world know say mi have it," Face said.


DJ Face said that even though she has not been focusing on clash songs, she is willing to sit down and pen new lyrics to challenge Lisa Hyper.

"Mi ready fi this, mi born ready fi this, G Life to the world," the former Rising Stars finalist declared.


In the meantime, DJ Face said her combination song, Drive It In, featuring Gyptian, was doing well in the overseas markets, especially Japan.


"I am getting a lot of calls from Japan and from Trinidad about the song with Gyppy. It is very popular, we really need to do the video and promote it hard," she said.


DJ Face will be heading to Philadelphia this week to begin the promotion of the stage show called Jeans Out on May 22nd in Philadelphia. After that show, she will be flying to Canada to perform in Toronto and Montreal.

But come to think about it a how come so much a wi dancehall DJ dem a get lock away, Buju, Flippa, Ninja…a hope no more cause before you know it, we won’t have any big name pon di stage show dem.

Deejay Mr Lexx is jubilant that his sexual assault case in a New York court has been dismissed, however he will still be required to do three days of community service.


In October last year, the deejay was picked up at a hotel in Queens, NY, after a woman reported that he had forced himself on her.

He was arrested and his travel documents seized, forcing him to remain in the United States while on bail.


At the time of his arrest, his manager, Earlton Clarke had boldly declared that his artiste was innocent and it would be proven.


The arrest came at a point in his career when Mr Lexx was resurfacing and poised to make another breakthrough with two hot singles.


After nearly six months off the dancehall scene, Mr Lexx will have to work double time to get his career on a level.

Well wi hope him doing all dese tings to har too and more – best wishes to them from Yardflex.

Who could ever have believed that Fowl would be back in the place and he and Lena British are not together.

While Fowl was away, Lena was waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting. As a matter of fact, we are sure that Ce’cile sang the I’m Waiting song just for Lena.

Then when Fowl made his appearance, Lena took a vacation away from the island. Can’t really say whay that was so, but all we know is that the man himself has been seen at almost every session, always with a buxom browning.


And, we know that Lena friends must have told her, because when Lena returned the other day and step inna di session, she have everybody weak.

That little lace black dress was the ultimate statement and it showed off her gym body to perfection. Well, Lena British was always the fashionista and now she’s opening her own boutique, right upstairs her salon in Central Plaza. We know Lena’s going to get a lot of customers and we wish her all the best.


Maybe she and Spice and D’Angel can have a special link-up, as they are all boutique owners involved in entertainment.

The Express newspaper in Trinidad says that the police in that soca-loving island have attempted to block Jamaican deejay Blak Ryno, -- also known as Ryno Di Stinga – from entering the country, but their plan failed.

Ryno performed at a concert there on Saturday, and reports are that the event was well attended and went very well.


Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Gilbert Reyes said he had written a letter to National Security Minister Martin Joseph, requesting that Ryno, whose real name is Romaine Anderson, be debarred from entering the country.

The artiste “managed to slip into the country even though the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service had been put on alert to prevent his entry,” Reyes said.


“Apparently by the time the letter reached the Minister, it was too late because he (Anderson) had already arrived in the country and was given clearance (by Immigration officials) to enter,” Reyes is quoted by the newspaper assaying.


Reyes says he is moving to block from entering the island, any regional or international artiste whose music contributes and appears to influence gang-related activity and behaviour.


“We are already trying to deal with that (gang-related activities) and we cannot afford any longer for these artistes to come here with their music, which influences and ignites gang behaviour, which leads to serious crimes being committed.”


And, while he did not name any of Blak Ryno’s songs, the Trinidad cop declared that Ryno’s “music has gang lyrical content and we do not want that here.

Anyone who has that type of lyrical content in their music, we are going to write to the government and ask that they be blocked from entering the country,” Reyes added.

Why people so idle? The whole day Saturday we phone nuh stop ring off with news say Blak Ryno get shot inna Trinidad.


We hear how him and some Trini youth go inna a certain area and nex man try rob dem and end up shoot Ryno.


Fom what we hear, the promoter did haffi deh pon radio a tell people say nutten don’t go so and that Ryno would be performing at the show Saturday night.


Well, the show gwaan good and Ryno should be back in the island by now, safe and sound.


Ryno, just try build some good tune and focus pon you career, cause that is the only thing that can help you to move forward in life right now.

Question: What is going on between D’Angel and Versatile?

We hear people a say how the two a dem sound good together pon did song and dem a say how the song too straight up wid man and woman business.

But it’s music still and dem really have a nice chemistry on stage, but with a song that name Me Need You, what you expect? We all see dem inna picture and it look like the real ting.

And Versatile a talk up di tings dem bout how Angel a di best person fi do the song. But people a wonder a how Versatile sound like Beenie Man so? And him slim just like Beenie.

A wonder if him can perform just like Beenie?

What can we say? Dis ya one yah too much.

Jah Cure found himself on the wrong side of the law again as he was arrested by cops in St Andrew North Police Division for smoking a ganja spliff.

Digicel, Claro, LIME have all been bragging about their various benefits and for the most part there is nothing wrong with that. Customers should have the chance to to hear all the wonderful things as they enjoy the fierce phone servers competitiveness.


Being the owner of a LIME and a Digicel the thought of walkign around with three phones had little appeal in spite of all the adverts going around about the new phone company Claro...but they held my attention with the 'free call to two numbers - one local and one in foreign."


Now there I was thinking that I had a good alternative in international call with at least adding the number I call the most on the list.


I have since purchased a Claro phone with my husband being the only free number on it but must say I feel like I got 'stick up'.


Do you know that Claro's only gives you 21 days to use up the credit you bought? Unlike Digicel which has never given me a reminder on when to use up my credit or I would be unable to make calls (even if credit is still on my phone) Of course LIME does that too but they at least extend it to the month. Kudos to Digi, on this one.


Re the overseas free number, you have to maintain at least $200 on your Claro phone to make that free intl call.


Hmm, see why I bypass the free foreign number.


So all my phone peeps, just want to tell you that the next time you are making a choice, make sure you try to remember to "ask every little thing!"

Kartel’s youtube channel is all about him and a lot of it is about sex. Kartel uses the site to get back at people who made negative comments about his recently released pictures of a youthful browning performing oral sex on him.


“Some people see mi pon de Internet and nuh like the picture dem...some bwoy weh from dem born nuh gyal neva su-k dem d--k yet. But the gal weh dem a f—k a my d--k she a su-k, and mi friend dem also. So all the haters dem weh nuh like it star, you know wah fi do,” he states.


This is filmed in a bedroom, which seems to be the same one in which the sexually explicit photos of Kartel himself were shot and the scene where former Gaza Princess, Lisa Hype shot her infamous picture where she was engaged in oral sex.


“Look at this room, oonu recognize it,” Kartel, with braces on his teeth asks as the video camera roves around the room.
Also taking place in the same room is the music video for the track, Turn ‘N’ Whine, featuring Kartel and a scantily-dressed, constantly-gyrating video vixen.


Reports are that Kartel sent the following message via BlackBerry messenger last night: “Vybz Kartel has a porn movie coming out called Beg you a f--k. Go to (name of website) for a ‘R’ rated trailer.”
Recipients are directed to Kartel’s very own YouTube channel where one can see a teaser of the upcoming release.


Reports are that one scene in the porn movie clearly shows the Teacha having sex with two girls.

Opposition Senator K.D. Knight has been released from hospital after being involved in a motor vehicle accident in St. Elizabeth Sunday.

Mr. Knight was taken to the Black River Hospital for observation.

It is reported that Mr. Knight was returning to Kingston after attending a funeral when his car crashed into another vehicle.

"The vehicle was slightly damaged and he was taken to the hospital just to do some preliminary checks. I spoke to K.D. and he said that everything was ok it was just a minor accident," Mr. Pickersgill said.

Dancehall’s bad boy, and CEO of the Alliance, Bounty Killer, stepped out of jail last Friday and onto hallowed ground Sunday, as he worshipped in church beside mom, Miss Ivy.


Exchanging his legendary “cross, angry miserable” demeanor for “charming, angelic, mannersable”, Rodney Price held his Bible in his hand and participated enthusiastically in praise and worship.

While many of the worshippers at the Agape Christian Tabernacle Church stared at him in awe, Rodney maintained his composure during the service and listened attentively to the evangelists as they encouraged the congregation in committing to the ways of the Lord.


Towards the end of the service, the church leaders held a special prayer and consecration for Rodney right at the altar.


At the end of the service, church-goers and residents of the Gregory Park community crowded the dancehall deejay, some hugging him, others asking for autographs and some young boys just wanting to get their pictures taken with the Warlord.

Controversial deejay Bounty Killer, who has had more than his fair share of court-related woes, in addition to having his US visas revoked recently, was this morning granted bail in the sum of $200,000.00.

The deejay who had been arrested on assault charges, spent close to two weeks in police lock-up as he awaited hearing on the mater.

Bounty had twice been denied bail, even though the complainant, his girlfriend of three years, Kadeem Baker, had told the court that she wanted to drop the charges against her lover.

Meanwhile, in a somewhat ironic twist of event, Baker was charged with creating public mischief and could very well spend the weekend behind bars, perhaps even in the same cell just made vacant by her lover.

Trust me, bwoy the way how tings a run right now, mi have to say that I have started doing some real deep thinking. Yeah man, these days mi stay inna mi space and a hold a meds as a ponder certain things about life and one a dem is “what really is a perfect relationship?”

Thinking about it, a wondering if such a thing exist on earth, are we as women setting ourselves – and men up for what can never happen?

Even the Bible tells you that there is only one perfect person and that is Jesus Christ, so how can we expect mere mortals to live up to this kind of strain?

Don’t ask me what has gotten me on this trend of thought, but if I dig deep enough I suppose I would have to take into consideration some of the failed relationships and the fact that they have been used as a marker for future ones.

We expect our men to treat us like real queens, but be honest do we treat them like kings? Do we just want to lap up their tender treatment as our due but don’t think it is just as important to shower them with the same kind of favour?

Oftentimes we say they disrespect us…and maybe they do. But we need to consider just what ‘disrespect’ is in the first place, it could be because we want to have our own way and he doesn’t oblige then we feel dissed.

No, I am not picking up for the men, I am just seeking something as close to perfection as possible.

With that quest, I have come to the conclusion that the only thing we can do is try for a good compromise, where we meet each other half way and try to achieve that “near perfection” if it is possible.

Is there such a thing as a ‘perfect relationship’?

No, don’t think so, but there is such as a thing as working hard to keep the love, respect and caring going in it.

...if you are used to throwing away your receipts stop! You never know what evidence you are getting rid of. If you thought you had a bad deal in a purchased item, read this story and start making tabs now.

CAC secures millions for disgruntled consumers

The Consumer Affairs Commission (CAC) has secured $22.6 million in refunds and compensation for aggrieved persons between April 2009 and last month.

The CAC handled 2,138 complaints during the period.

They concerned the purchase of various goods and services.

Eighty-six percent or 1,834 of the cases were resolved.

During the 12 months just under 50,000 persons were impacted by the Commission's consumer education programme, and the agency conducted surveys to provide updated information on market prices.

The 79 surveys involved grocery, petrol, hardware, textbook and bank charges.

Sunday April 11; Kingston, Jamaica: After seeing hundreds of hopefuls during two open auditions in Montego Bay and Kingston over a week ago, Digicel Rising Stars’ producers have chosen the top six candidates in the race to become the new host of the popular television show.



The chosen six are: Kemesha Bolton, Cameka McRae, Deidre James, Julie Malcolm, Terri-Karelle Reid and Lady Rennae.



Kemesha Bolton
The first Digicel Rising Stars’ host hopeful to face an audience will be Kemesha Bolton as she’ll be holding things down at the Clarendon audition in May Pen on Saturday April 11. Kemesha who is from Kingston is a student at Mico University College where she is completing a bachelor’s degree in Primary Education.



Kemesha says she’s excited about facing the Clarendon audience and she’s looking forward to having a great time in May Pen: “I’m definitely looking forward to it, I love television, I love hosting and performing.”



Kemesha says she’s nervous about facing the crowd on Saturday but she has been practicing: “I’m very nervous about the audition but I plan to do my best. I’ve been in front of the mirror everyday practicing, trying to think about the things I love about the show and how I can make them better.”



Cameka McRae
The next day the Digicel Rising Stars auditions will be in the sunshine city where Cameka McRae will get her chance to shine. Cameka says she’s happy to have been selected: “I’m excited, I just can’t wait to show Jamaica my bubbly personality and that I’m capable of being the next host”.



Cameka who is from Portmore says she doesn’t think that hosting a show in her home town will give her an edge: “I don’t think it will, I don’t think it’s easier either and I would be comfortable hosting in any of the five locations.”



Cameka who is a television producer by profession has a communications degree from Northern Caribbean University.

She is quick to point out that she’s a church girl with spunk who is not afraid to speak her mind: “What you see is what you get. I’m very real. I don't think I'm better than a soul. I like to think I speak my mind most of the time. I’m very creative and I have a wild imagination and I'm not afraid of new things.”





Deidra James
The Digicel Rising Stars team is on the north coast with week two of auditions in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. The Montego Bay auditions is on Saturday April 17 at the Wexford Hotel and Deidra James will be performing hosting duties. Despite growing up in Kingston, Deidre is no stranger to the north coast as she was born in St.Ann.



Deidre is probably best known for working as a presenter on Fame FM. She says she hopes that experience will help her in the drive to be the next Digicel Rising Stars host: “I've always had an affinity for entertainment, hence my natural drive for the industry… I do have some experience in TV & broadcasting, so that may work to my advantage, hopefully.”



Deidre says she plans to bring lots of fun and excitement to the audition: “I really just want to be myself. I truly enjoy making people happy and making them laugh, even at my own expense, in fact, MOSTLY at my own expense.”



Julie Malcolm
On Sunday April 18 at the Hibiscus Lodge in Ocho Rios, Julie Malcolm will be putting her best hosting skills on the line trying to win over Jamaicans.

Julie who is from Clarendon says she went crazy with excitement when she was told she made it to the top six: “I felt like screaming and rolling on the floor and I actually did. Seriously though, I felt humbled that out of so many qualified applicants; even television presenters that I admire, the judges chose me...wow!...I still have goose pimples.”



Julie says she hopes the experience she’s garnered from teaching for over a decade and entering several competitions helps her shine on the Digicel Rising Stars stage. She’s also banking heavily on her personality to help win over voters: “My warm and bubbly personality enables me to connect with people from varying cultures.”



Terri-Karelle Reid
The final host hopefuls Terri-Karelle Reid and Lady Rennae will take the mic when the Digicel Rising Stars auditions come to Kingston for back to back shows at the Girl Guides Headquarters on April 24 and 25.



Former Miss Jamaica World Terri-Karelle Reid will take control of the Saturday audition and she says she’s looking forward to a big day: “Day one of the Kingston Auditions usually has one of the highest volumes of hopefuls. I plan on being myself: spunky, bubbly, down-to earth.

I think it is very important to have fun with it but also relate to the participants and create a relaxing vibe and a comfortable environment for them so that they can put their best foot forward when facing the judges (which can be very intimidating).”
Terri-Karelle says her reign as Miss Jamaica World in 2005 has given her a platform to showcase her personality and be a public servant which has prepared her for several challenges including this one.



Lady Rennae
Digicel Rising Stars wraps up Season 7 audition shows with day 2 of the Kingston auditions hosted by Lady Rennae and she can’t wait to see what Kingston has to offer.



Lady Rennae says she thinks she has a good chance of being the next Digicel Rising Stars’ host: “I'm a person who loves music and am a great supporter of Jamaican talent...with all the chaos and excitement that will be taking place in the competition, the auditioners really need someone they can feel comfortable around and the voters want someone real and relatable.”



Lady Rennae points out that she’s been in the media industry since her early teens and now, as a stable presenter on Fame FM and RETV, she says she’s quite comfortable behind the microphone.



Despite coming pretty close the last time Digicel Rising Stars was looking for a new host, she points out that this time things will be different: “Bwoy last time I was so in awe of it all, but this time I'm going to show the Digicel Rising Stars audience and the producers of the show more of Lady Rennae, more of my charisma, versatility, charm, raw talent - and most importantly the professionalism required for a show of this calibre.”



Jamaica will get a chance to see Kemesha Bolton, Cameka McRae, Deidre James, Julie Malcolm, Terri-Karelle Reid and Lady Rennae host Digicel Rising Stars’ auditions when they air on TVJ starting on Sunday June 13. Rising Stars’ fans will then be able to vote and choose who they want to be the new series host.

It’s been four months since reggae singer Buju Banton has been behind bars in Florida awaiting trial on drugs related charges and, for the second time, the trial date has been postponed.

The trial had been scheduled to start April 19, after Banton requested that date. Without explanation, and much to the distress of lawyer David Oscar Markus, who represents Banton, U.S. District Judge James Moody changed it to June 21.

"We really want to go to trial and were ready to go on April 19," Marcus is reported as saying.

Markus filed a motion asking the judge to reconsider the change.

"We have been working very hard to be ready for this date," he wrote. "We have potential witnesses flying in from Jamaica who have made their plans. We have made our flight and hotel plans. We have lawyers on the team flying in from Houston and Washington, DC, who have also made their flight and hotel plan.

"Perhaps most importantly, Mr. Myrie is in custody and wants to go to trial as
soon as possible."

Buju's legions of fans are disappointed with this new date and hope that come June 20, the judge will not issue a new date yet again.

KINGSTON (JIS) — The Ministry of Justice has sought to clarify the the suspension of Senator KD Knight on March 26, 2010 for two sittings of the Senate.


According to a statement from the ministry, the discussion which has taken place has focused primarily on Senator Knight's offensive references to Senator Dorothy Lightbourne, Minister of Justice and Attorney General and discussion as to whether he should be given an opportunity to be heard in regard to his use of offensive language to Senator Lightbourne.


The fact of the matter as recorded in Hansard, is that Senator Knight was directed by the President of the Senate to withdraw the offensive statement, which he refused to do, and instead picked up his papers and walked out of the Senate.


This was the more compelling reason for the disciplinary action taken against Senator Knight.

No amount of opportunity given to Senator Knight to respond could avail him in justifying his gross disrespect to the President of the Senate.

After Bounty Killer girl Kadeem .. yeah, the same tall browning who dem call Hennessey and who related to a next entertainer ... yeah, after she mek police lock up Killer, she now a say she sorry cause she never mean it.

But how the story so conflicting?

One minute Killer a beat her up cause she tell him say the relationship done, then now that Killer inna jail and cyan get bail, Kadeem a talk up a next set a tings how she and Bounty want to get on wid them life – TOGETHER. A what really a gwaan. She saya di first time that Killer ever lick her (wink, wink) and everybody know how fi Bounty hand nimble and don’t join church.

So a really love him love her so? But everybody know say him did love and still love Angel and that neva stop him from kill har wid lick.

But, back to this model girl name Kadeem. It come in like say she waan tek Killer fi gal clown. But like Killer say, Kadeem know what you a do.

The recent cancellation of the US visas of several prominent Jamaican performers, has inspired international reggae star and SoBe/Danger Zone recording artiste Jah Cure to pen the visa blues and record the track Save Yourself.

It was 12:05 am on April 1, 2010, so Jah Cure naturally assumed the Internet news he was reading about the United States cancelling the visas of several top Jamaican dancehall artistes was an April Fools' Day joke.

He said: "I couldn't believe that the Jamaican government or the US government would violate the privacy rights of citizens and publish their legal names, their birth dates, their actual Jamaican passport numbers and their US Visa Control numbers, I did not believe it."

Sadly, by mid-day on April 1st, the news was official -- the US Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica had cancelled the visas.

While sitting in his living room, Jah Cure said he began to hear the words of his idol Bob Marley singing: "Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for Your rights." Cure immediately felt inspired and compelled to go on record, so he headed straight to the studio and recorded Save Yourself as his message to Jamaica and all Caribbean nations.

In the opening lines of the song, Cure exclaims: "You can't change my pride, you can't take my power.

" Jah Cure urges his Jamaican and Caribbean brethren to save themselves, to save their countries, to save their economies, to save their families, and to save their children.

A line of the song is telling: "We must 'Save Ourselves' ... we must save ourselves from Babylon."

Cure believes that Save Yourself is an appropriate song for the circumstance as he says: "We cannot depend on Big Brother to help us, we must depend on each other and ourselves.

Jah Cure said he is releasing the record via the Internet hoping it will challenge his Jamaican brethren to stand up for their rights as he chants at the end of the song: "We have come too far to turn back now, we cannot let them take our freedom or our pride. They can never hold us down."

Save Yourself will be released online today

With the recent cancellation of the visas of top deejays Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Mavado and Aidonia – and remember that Sizzla, Kartel, Busy, and Jah Cure do not have US visas – it has been felt that those artistes who are still eligible to fly will be eating a lot of food.

Artistes like Lady Saw, Elephant Man, Assassin, Chino and Voice Mail would naturally be high on any promoter’s list as main acts on dancehall shows/festivals. But according to booking agencies, this is not so.

Bookings agents are reported as saying that the cancellation of visas of the top artistes has affected the entire music industry, making promoters a bit wary of booking even those acts who still have visas.

“The entire music industry has been tainted,” is the message from the booking agents.

Promoters are nervous, and this is justified as there is a strong possibility that they can book an act for a show next month, only to hear a few days before the show that the artiste’s visa has been revoked by the US embassy.

The fact that the embassy is giving no explanation as to why the artistes’ visas were revoked has set the entire industry on edge.

People are afraid to travel because they might turn up at the airport only to hear that their names are on ‘The List’.

“This is mashing up the industry, and we can’t allow that to happen. We just have to find other markets to explore.

Artistes like Busy Signal and Kartel have been eating good food despite their ban from entering the great America, so artistes haffi just rise and know that them can’t allow Merry Macka to keep them down,” one artiste manager said.

The rumour mill has been spinning out of control with reports that a certain female deejay has been added to the list of artistes whose US visas have been revoked.

But, according to sources close to her – nutten don’t go so. The artiste recently went to Florida and returned without any problems.

“She fly out and come back good good and nobody neva harass her,” the source stated. Well, that’s a relief.

Bwoy, it come in like we cyan keep up with the artiste dem and how dem a dominate the headlines.

Imagine a man like Louie Culture inna wrangling and then him also pick up a gun shot; then it was the All Fool Day revelation say the US revoke some a dem visa and it look like that just set things in motion.

The next ting was that Mavado crash, then police lock up Bounty fi beat up him woman and a bag a tings. A Wednesday before Killer go back a court, and maybe the judge still don’t give him bail. Ninjaman inna jail fi one year now and him go a court this week and still don’t get bail. And then the Ras Junior Reid plead guilty to selling liquor without a licence.

We still don’t understand how the Ras ting and the liquor ting mix up and blend up, but all we can say is that it is the new world order.

It come in like say one week cyan pass without the artiste dem involved inna some court ting.

We a mek a appeal to all the artiste dem fi mek we start hear some positive tings inna di news. We a get tired a di mix up mix up.

That not putting reggae and dancehall music on top.

What a way Bounty Killer gwaan have to spend another week in jail?

Even when the girl whey him lick sey she not interested in pressing charges gainst him, dem still remand him till di next court date.

Dats why wi always sey temper a nuh good someting, cause anyting yuh duh have consequences. Di ongle advice wi have fi Bounty is fi tell him sey, jail time a waste time, so him fi just pree di dollar sign and stop getting cross, miserable and angry.

Boy it seems that Ninja Man will not be seeing the light of day any time soon. He was again remanded when he appeared in the Supreme Court yesterday. The DJ is set to return to court on April 23.


Ninjaman, whose real name is Desmond Ballentine, his son Janeil, Dennis Clayton and Seymour Samuels, have been jointly charged with the murder of Robert Johnson, who was shot and killed in Tower Hill, St Andrew last year.


Police alleged that the four were in a grey motorcar, which drove up to Johnson’s home at Marl Road and fired several shots hitting Johnson.


Ninjaman, who is being represented by attorney Norma Linton, appeared in court with his face bushy and his hair unkempt.
No application was made for bail by his attorney and the case is set to continue on April 23.

Bwoy Junior we glad yuh never stretch out di whole courtroom drama and just plead guilty and done sey yuh never authorize fi a sell nuh liquor.

nuh you a di first and yuh certainly nah go be di last whey caan wait pon di official ting fi sell the goodly liquor. $2000 a nuh nuten fi yuh pay, so wi know di serving time wouldn’t come into the deal.

Well di ongle question wi haffi ask is, why it teck so long fi get a license fi sell liquor? And if you do it illegally till permission come, a $2000 fine worth it, cause by dat dey time yuh done sell whole heap more dan data ready!

The son od Daryl Vaz, Information Minister, who is on a drug possession charge appeared in the Corporate Area Criminal Court on Tuesday.

Adam Vaz, 18, pleaded not guilty to the charge as the court was told that the forensic report was still outstanding.

The young Mr. Vaz was arrested on March 26 in possession of ganja at the Tinson Pen Aerodrome in St. Catherine.

He was preparing to board a flight to Montego Bay, St. James when his luggage was searched and a small quantity of ganja found.

He was charged and later released on $10,000 station bail.

He is to return to court on May 19.

Bounty Killer who has been described as cross, miserable and angry most times is living up to that reputation it seems as he is now behind bars for beating his girlfriend.


The DJ will be going to court this Wednesday, April 7 to answer to charges of assault occasioning bodily harm. Bounty will then know his fate.


The DJ was recently in the news when his name appeared on the list of artistes whose visas will be revoked.

The rumour mill has been churning since two weeks ago, spitting out various things about the Flossing King, Flippa Mafia.


First we heard that Flippa was in Jamaica lying low, waiting for his papers to come through. Then it was said that he had gone back up to the US safe and sound.And now, there is word that the deejay has been detained at the Miami Federal Detention Centre in Florida.


The rumour mill has it that Flippa was trying to get into the US through another route when he was held.


Right now, information is sketchy, but what we do know is that Flippa has not been answering his phone for nearly two weeks and has not been responding to emails and text messages.

Ricky Martin is no longer denying the rumours: He’s gay.


In a statement posted via Twitter in both Spanish and English, and later confirmed with his representative, Martin said: “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”


For many, Monday’s announcement will come as no surprise; the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer’s sexuality has been speculated about for years. But the Puerto Rican star, who got his start as a child in the teen group Menudo, never directly addressed it and was usually seen at events with beautiful women on his arm.


Martin, 38, said he decided to reveal the truth after working on his memoirs helped him realise that he had to be free with himself, and not keep any more secrets.


“From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time.Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside,” he said. “Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating.”


Martin said one of the reasons why he kept his homosexuality hidden was because he was told by some that it would hurt his career. While his US career peaked after the release of his 1999 self-titled English album, a multiplatinum success that included the hits Livin’ La Vida Loca and Shake Your Bon-Bon, he is still a hugely successful Latin artiste.


“Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth,” he said in his statement.“Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.”
Martin, who is the father of two boys born via surrogate in 2008, said he couldn’t continue to hide his sexuality now that he is a father: “Enough is enough. This has to change.”


Martin’s book is still a work in progress.

Kiki new job

Rising Star former Chill Room host Kiki said she had a better offer that’s why she left the show.


Now we wish her good luck on her new ventures but still people a ask if she a suh it guh or she just saving face? Don’t hate us we are just di voice of di people.

Dats di million dollar question but the artiste sey him want dem back and he will leave no stones unturned to reclaim them. According to Flexx this act took place while he was on his way to US Virgin Island to perform. After leaving his luggae to be tagged and put on the plane, he discovered when he reached his destination that the jewellery was missing. Well people him a chaw fire, so whoever teck it, bring it back.

Check out this article that appeared in today’s Observer. It maad!! Just had to bring it to your attention. After reading it tell us which of the titles you would give Kartel, DJ, porn star, or gangsta!


Kartel: Deejay, gangsta, or porn star?


Deejay Vybz Kartel surely knows how to grab head lines (no pun intended.) He has positioned himself as the top deejay locally and last year released a slew of songs which ensured that he claimed the coveted DJ of the Year title for 2009.


Kartel, as the self-proclaimed President of the Gaza and the leader of the now crumbling Portmore Empire, has had his fair share of criticism as being a 'gangsta', just like many deejays of this era have been labelled. However, the name Gaza speaks for itself, as the Gaza Strip which borders Egypt and Israel is known for some of the fiercest gun battles between the Palestinians and the Israelis.


Kartel has been accused of (and has denied) beating wayward members of the Portmore Empire into submission and the recent shooting up and fire-bombing of deejay Blak Ryno's house sent tongues wagging. Blak Ryno subsequently released a song in which he said the he was not "him pickney" and therefore had no right to beat him.


In September 2008, Kartel was picked up by police and questioned in the death of Christopher 'Nunu Puss' Miller, whose bullet-riddled body was found in Bernard Lodge, St Catherine. Kartel's Norbrook house was also raided by the cops. However, he was released without charge and subsequently declared his innocence. He was reported as saying then, "A jus some people a try mek it look like Kartel a di evilest man inna di world."


Kartel, in true deejay style proclaimed that he would write a song about that particular tribulation. He has however done so many songs since then, that it's hard to recall whether or not he kept his promise. But the theme of his songs, however, have been constant -- guns and sex. Included in his repertoire is a popular song dedicated to the "girl dem inna di go-go club', in which he vividly describes oral sex, an act which is considered taboo within the dancehall.


Late last year, Lisa Hype, while still a Gaza Princess and the aspiring First Lady of the Gaza, was booted from the territory when pictures surfaced of her performing this illicit activity on a man whose face was hidden. A release said that "The members of the Empire have unanimously agreed to end our professional relationship especially in light of certain 'developments' that have come to our attention regarding her overall conduct, conduct that is not consistent with the decorum expected of a member of the Portmore Empire."


After that mouthful from Kartel, who wouldn't be shocked when pictures surfaced late last week of him being the recipient of the very act for which Lisa Hype was kicked out.


Kartel, to put it mildly, had the Internet -- Facebook, Twitter and even mediatakeout.com -- blowing up last week when two photos of himself and two female companions indulging in oral sex in separate incidents. Many asked the question online if Kartel had quit deejaying and had turned into a porn star.


And here's what Kartel had to say about the picture on his Twitter page: "Why should these photos cause such chaos when everyone an dem mumma kno that Vybz Kartel is the 2 Live Luke of dancehall. Haven't they been listening to my lyrics all these years?"


Interestingly, rapper 2 Live Luke's latest album, (2006) was a triple disc featuring glorious titles such as My Life & Freaky Times, The Best of Uncle Luke's Freak Shows, Foreplay aka the Introduction, Luke and Mike Tyson: Saved by P----, Beauty and the Bestiality and Golden Shower Weekend.

The already popular Hennessy Fridayz, which joined the exciting mix of weekly and bi-monthly events on February 19, will have another edition this Friday night at its 36 Burlington Avenue home.


This event, which initially was intended to be staged weekly, will now take place every other week. “One week on, the other week off,” is how the promoters described the event.


The organisers are emphasising, however, that patrons need to come out early to party and enjoy their drink of choice — Henny.


“Ladies will be free before 12 midnight, and our cut off time is promptly at 2:00 am,” the promoter explained. “The first few weeks, the vibe has been great, but the only problem is that by the time the crowd gets into the venue, its lock off time. So we have to stick by the letter of the law … come out early and we will all have a grand Henny time.”


This eagerly anticipated event, which is held at a location right across from Stone Love HQ where Weddy Weddy is held each Wednesday night, has gained momentum in a relatively short time and has been given support from a the dancehall fraternity.


Keeping the juggling intense on Friday will be Supa Hype, Foota Hype and ZJ Liquid as special’s guest.
And, as a special give-away, the promoters say “buy a Hennessy and get a Canei free for the ladies”.

It’s been one year since Wet Sundaze debuted on the social calendar, creating quite a stir among partygoers as one of the most hyped and popular weekly events.

The brainchild of promoter Darren Virtue, Wet Sundaze will, this Sunday, March 28, 2010, be a celebration of the one-year anniversary and will see patrons partying with a new bottle in their hands: Guinness.


The launch of Guinness as the premium sponsor of Wet Sundaze is not to be missed as patrons will embody the Guinness lifestyle: ladies making bold choices, and the men on top of the world, and not afraid to show it.


As a dynamic and diverse brand, Guinness is armed and ready to bring Wet Sundaze to the next level, by introducing some new elements, like live music once per month.


Gary Dixon, Brand Manager for Guinness, is confident that with this changing of the guard, Wet Sundaze and Guinness are on a journey to GREATNESS.


“As one of the biggest and most-hyped weekly parties, we couldn’t have asked for a better collaboration. Guinness is a strong brand, and we needed a party that could handle that and match it,” said Dixon. “Guinness is, of course perfect for any occasion with greatness in every drop.”


Guinness Sundaze is set to drive the energy, passion and grass roots sensibilities that embody the Guinness brand. It keeps its usual venue, at AutoVision on 8 Hillview Ave, and this Sunday, March 28, gates will open at 10pm. cates, Stakeholders, friends.

But we love how the lickle sistren fight back and neva gwaan like she a no weakling. A strength we say, straight. But how him fi beat her ... beat her?

Whoever says honesty is the best policy should see the results for those who practice it. Yeah man Kiki thought she was doing a good thing when she came out and confessed that she was a drug mule and did all documentary on it.She said she wanted to be an example to young people that that is not the way to go. But seet deh now, she will not be in the chill room when the next season of Rising Star returns.


And nuh tell wi sey a true she a guh have baby. Woman flexible nowadays, dem bounce back and look good afta dem give birth.l No sah a just true she go let go dat dem drama whey did guh dung inna har life.

Di big question wi a ask is which artiste gun butt him bredda and put on some decent lick pon top a it tuh. Jah know star yuh must can find di cure f idem type a behavior deh.

Selector Ricky Trooper had a bad case of ‘Vybz Rum Moment’ in Atlanta over the weekend and it seemed as if all the seven devils of hell were unleashed.


Trooper stood up, rum glass and gun in hand — yes, a Glock if you please — and gave a drunken, expletive filled recitation that was shocking, disturbing and totally uncalled for. And what made it even more pathetic was his continuous demand for the video director to “Mek sure say oonu put this up pon youtube.”


First of all, Ricky Trooper is no youngster in the business; he’s been there and done that, and for Trooper to behave in this manner is pathetic. He is clearly angry at Chin (from Irish and Chin) for not putting him on the World Clash and figures that the best way to get back at Chin is to call him battyman.


(Trooper, that is so gutter. You were beaten good and proper at the Guinness Sounds of Greatness Clash, so just take you beating and try build back your sound. The fact is that you do not qualify to be a part of the World Clash. That is strictly big man thing, and your behavior shows that you are anything but. Chin would be out of his mind to even think of putting you on the World Clash.)


At his age, Ricky Trooper should be trying to set an example for younger selectors and for his children “who a no jacket cause a him f--- and get dem”.


Why is he calling up Bounty’s name? If Trooper wants to pledge allegiance to Kartel’s crumbling empire, nobody is stopping him.
Ricky Trooper, sober up and accept the fact that you are no the number one selector. Not now … not ever.

Unno si how long mi a cool and nah chat nobady business?

DZMG wishes to advise those interested in legally procuring Jah Cure material to contact them at delladanger@gmail.com.

The road not travelled…


We all have to do what we have to do to survive and I am no different. I figured a long time ago that I wasn’t cut out for the books and I was damned if I was going to be left behind. From high school days I had a problem dealing with maths and those things. I knew I wasn’t gonna make the cut to graduate and all those wonderful things so in fourth form I befriended my form teacher who luckily was a man and in all honesty he tried to coach me in my books, but it became clear to him also that I was a hopeless case. I sensed he was about to throw in the towel and that’s when the brilliant idea came to seduce him…and that I needed no special lessons for!


From then he was putty in my hands. He marked up my grades, somehow managed to make me look good in school. But questions were asked when I left high school without one single subject against the fact that he always had glowing reports about me. But that wasn’t my problem, he had served his purpose.


After high school I made sure I socialized with the right kind of men and soon I was placed into a very good job…yes with no subject and not too bright upstairs either. But I had the wickedest slam and it was serving its own purpose.


Sleeping with the boss ensured I kept moving up…but then his wife got suspicious and started making a nuisance of herself.


I realized I could use that scenario to my advantage and so I told him to allow me to run one of the branches in the country and that way he could tell her there was nothing between us so he was transferring me, that she could feel more secure. I made a show of course of protesting and acting as if he was being paranoid and I didn’t want to leave!


She bought it hook line and sinker and from then on we set up our own little love nest when time allowed. It’s been almost 10 years now and I am still not married and that branch shut down due to the economy.


I now have to be living off him because I have no qualification to apply for anything with substance. Now I would give anything to have done things differently. I only share this story to let you know that your body can only take you so far in life…so don’t make my mistakes.

Yeah man afta all a did passa passa whey gwaan a did studio di people dem inna did area nuh stop complain till di KSAC people dem come lock it down.


Wi dun know sey from yuh have yuh money yuh can go to any studio go record, but tink bout di convenience and dem ting deh whey dem did have a di facility.

Ky-Mani Marley, one of the sons of reggae legend, Bob Marley, has written a new book claiming he was deprived of his father's fortune for years unlike his half-brothers and half-sisters, sparking a row that could trigger legal action, a report carried by AFP says.


Ky-Mani Marley's Dear Dad hit booksellers' stands February 6, when the late reggae icon would have turned 65.


It has quickly become a major headache for this 34-year-old son of Marley.


Ky-Mani, aware of the family squabbling it could unleash, tried to delay its release, and to tweak the content. but he failed.


Now, there is a dispute between Ky-Mani Marley and his editor Farrah Gray, a young businessman of 24, over the truth of content of the book. Their clash could end up in court, both told media in the United States and Jamaica in recent days.


"The book was not an attack on my family. I love my brothers and sisters more than anyone can know," Ky-Mani Marley, a Jamaican actor and musician who is the son of Bob Marley and table tennis champ Anita Belnavis, said in a statement on his MySpace page.


The book says on its cover that it contains the "story the Marley family apparently didn't want you to know".


Among other themes, the book claims its author was kept from accessing his fathers' fortune by Marley's widow Rita. It also claims Rita Marley tried to keep the money for her children with Marley while denying financial support to his children with six other women.


"I did not expect that Dr Gray would have unprofessionally and maliciously twisted my words or use things that were discussed in confidence to create controversy in an attempt to sell a book," Ky-Mani Marley added.


"During the final edit of the book, I spoke with my sister, Cedella, and I advised Dr Farrah Gray that some changes had to be made and until the changes were made, I was not willing to do any promotion for the book," the author added.


But the editor was unmoved by what he said was the younger Marley's backtracking.


"His denials have thrown me and the publishing company under the bus. I didn't write his book, I published it. This is his story; these are his words and now I have to prove it," Gray argued.

Portmore Empire deejay Popcaan wants the world to know that he is alive and poppin. This following rumours over the weekend that he had been shot and killed.


"From Saturday, it ah get stink say mi get shot and mi ah wonder who is trying to perpetrate this rumour but I just want the fans to know that I am alive and kicking. I am not dead," he is reported as saying.


Popcaan is widely regarded as the artiste most likely to carry the banner for the next generation of young artistes emerging out of the Vybz Kartel-led Gaza camp.


Boisterous and fun-loving, Papi, as he is called by friends, has found a commercially viable hit, Nuh Ordinary Girl, which has been blowing up all over FM radio over the last couple of weeks.

The song, which appears on the popular England Town riddim, is a big fave among females. He also has a controversial single called Sell We Out which labels departing ex-Empire member Blak Ryno a traitor. One of his most popular song is a Clarks song alongside Vybz Kartel himself.


"The fans dem can look out for great things from Popcaan this year, the Empire goes on and on and on."


He was detained last week Thursday in a raid on Father Romie's Exodus studio in Havendale, but was released later that night.
