FOLLOW Di Arrow, which throughout its promotion encouraged everyone to 'keep the unity', had that sentiment shattered to pieces when during Bounty Killer's performance, bottles and stones started to rain on the stage.

CONTROVERSIAL deejay Vybz Kartel has admitted that many of his actions are engineered to draw attention to himself and by extension his musical career. Speaking in reference to the bleaching of his skin, Kartel noted that "people are like sheep and I am the shepherd, they are easy to lead. So when me seh, cool dung mi face with the cake soap, it's just more fame and more money for Vybz Kartel".

Despite having Vybz Kartel and his former mentor and rival Bounty Killer on the same event, promoter for Follow Di Arrow, Dexton Ennis, says it will not hinder the event's positive theme. The buzz has begun around the event which will see its 11th staging this Saturday at James Bond Beach in Oracabessa, St Mary. Deejays Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel will both be on the show, Bounty having been a long time staple at the event, while this will mark Vybz Kartel's second performance on the show since his split from the Bounty Killer-led Alliance in 2006. The two deejays have long had unresolved issues between them and a recent performance at Club Ville at Margaritaville, Montego Bay, saw 'The Warlord' taking lyrical swipes at Kartel's 'skin bleaching' practices, leaving many believing that Follow Di Arrow will be seeing the two throwing a few lyrical shots.

Since then, US prosecutors have added a fresh charge of possession of a firearm to the list of charges that are already tagged to Buju’s case.   Buju is charged with conspiracy to possess, intent to distribute cocaine, and aiding and abetting the possession of a firearm during...

THERE are men who are so disturbed by the fact that their spouses make more money than they do, that a fizzled relationship is inevitable, because they can't deal with independent women who don't see them as breadwinners. Then there are other men who aren't so disturbed, but who are puzzled by the concept of the other 'independent woman' — the one who declares her independence, but still expects favours from men. For example, women like to be pampered, and there are some of us who will cater to these needs for ourselves. But there are others, who declare themselves independent, but who expect the man to 'help out' still. The question then is, where do we ladies draw the line? When is financial independence too overwhelming and when does financial dependence get to the point where it is just too much for the man to handle? To get the views of men, I did a small survey amongst my male friends.

A colourful display of costumes took centre stage last night when Bacchanal Jamaica hosted its media launch of the 2011 carnival season, under the theme 'Once Upon A Dynasty', held at The Blue Mountain Inn Suite, Knutsford Court Hotel on Ruthven Road in St Andrew.

Despite reports of tension between the two artistes, dancehall deejay Beenie Man has come to the defense of fellow deejay Vybz Kartel. It has been reported in several articles that a popular New York radio disc jock said he would not be playing any of Vybz Kartel’s song during February, Black History Month, as he believes that the popular deejay does not respect his heritage because he bleaches his skin. However, Beenie Man, in a recent interview, spoke out about the disc jocks decision. "Dancehall is dancehall, when it comes to hardcore dancehall, I don’t support any ban of dancehall music. If Kartel is sending a bleaching message, then he can understand why a man would not play it because we love our black skin, and black is beauty, but for the disc jock to say that he’s not playing dancehall music because Kartel is advocating bleaching is going a bit too far ... not all (of) Kartel songs are about bleaching," Beenie Man said.

New York club dj and Irie Jam radio host/programme director, Dubb Master Chris, is standing by his decision not to play any songs by dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel during Black History Month. The radio disc jock had announced last week that he will not play any music from the artiste who has raised eyebrows for bleaching his skin.

What I have now for full-scale sale is Gaza tags, and belt buckles. Within the next three, four weeks, shirts will be here. Both male and female."

Despite the appearance of countless artistes, it was the appearance of Vybz Kartel halfway through the show that caught the attention of persons in the grand stand that immediately started to scream in delight. The deejay would later have the grand stand audience and members of the VIP on their feet as Trever Off Key did his Fake Jeans Admit It which led into Kartel and Russian entering the stage for Straight Jeans and Fitted.
