Outspoken dancehall artiste and disc jock Tony Matterhorn is now fuming after comments made by Twin of Twins on an Atlanta-based radio station.

Last Thursday night, Matterhorn got heated on the social networking website, Twitter, hurling insults at the  duo.


"How y'all never told me Twin of Twins was dissing me today on a radio station in Atl! Now I have to diss those 2 ... it's on ... Those ... twins! DUMB and DUMBER ... it looks like Dancehall duppy 3 is gonna be here sooner than I think! lol," he said.

Matterhorn also said his comments were completely warranted based on what the twins said on ricovibes.com the day before where they said: "Yuh have nuff artistes weh seh dem nah do show weh wi deh pon. Matterhorn do it already and dem laugh wid mi when dem see wi and mi nuh hate Matterhorn. Mi nuh do Matterhorn nutten fi him nuh play mi song dem neither," one of the twins said on the radio station.
Matterhorn says he is upset about Twin of Twins' claims.

"Look how hard mi haffi a fight fi dem selector ya play my music. Inna which way mi a fight Twin of Twins? Mi hardly play a Jamaica and mi do play dem songs,

"No selector buss more artistes than Matterhorn. Mi nuh have no beef with Twin of Twins. Mi and Fire Links were rivals, mi nuh have no beef. Mi feel seh dem a use mi as a publicity stunt. Mi aguh wait till mi see dem inna di dance and dutty dem up. You don't want to go down that road."

He continued, "dis a nuh Busy Signal, mi signal always up, it nuh busy. Twin of Twins, mi will crush unuh 'cause mi nuh trouble people unless dem trouble mi. Anyweh mi see unuh mi aguh diss unuh. Unuh diss mi pon public Internet radio, unuh nuh have any manners. Twin of Twins gwaan like seh people 'fraid a dem but Matterhorn nuh 'fraid a unuh. A chicken mi seh, mi nuh do beef. Don't use Matterhorn as a scapegoat. Yuh nuh need fi diss Matterhorn fi try sell yuh CD."
However, when contacted, Twin of Twins member Patrick Gaynor said the duo will be standing by the comments made on the radio station.
"Why be some breadbasket bout ya fi some people weh nuh rate wi? I don't care, Matterhorn nuh haffi like wi. We don't have any specific grouse with Matterhorn per se. Him is just one of the selectors that's doing it. We are on some major rhythms and no Twin of Twins nuh play. Is like wi nuh exist," .
"No more of it this year and it does not mean hatred, it mean yuh a talk fi yuh rights. When yuh hot dem want intro. We have done great songs and the world can attest to this."

Gaynor also said Matterhorn's attitude towards them may stem from an incident two years ago where they did a dubplate for Bass Oddessey imitating Bounty Killer. Instead of attacking Bass Oddessey, Gaynor said Twin of Twins was insulted.

While he admits that Matterhorn is a great selector, Gaynor said he feels the need to express his feelings, "as it regards our significance in the music that he and other selectors have downplayed for years. We cannot suffer in silence. Everybody can tek yuh argument and dem caan play yuh song. Whole heap a people trouble wi and when wi retaliate, they take it as an attack. Matterhorn can trace all him want, wi seh weh wi a seh and it done."

He noted their song on the 'One Day' rhythm as a perfect example of a song that got very little airplay despite being a decent song.
In the meantime, Matterhorn says he will be extremely busy for the rest of the summer.
"I'm turning up summer. I'm here only for Christmas, Easter and Summer. Mi tun up di beach parties and then mi tun up down a Negril," he said.

He says he also has recent releases like Nobody Knows, Love Max Out, I'm Rolling Solo, Ugly, Beach Party, Fluffy Summer and Dancehall Duppy Part 2.
"Dancehall Duppy part three and four is coming soon 'cause wi nuh play wid people," he said laughing.
