Companies not sponsoring events with Bounty Killer
and Beenie Man
A group of Jamaican companies which has dubbed itself
a Coalition of Corporate Sponsors has decided that they
will not be sponsoring any entertainment events at which
dancehall artistes Beenie Man and Bounty Killer are slated
to perform until further notice.
According to a statement issued by the coalition, the members -
Courts, Supreme Ventures, Digicel, Red Stripe, Jamaica
Tourist Board, Cable and Wireless and J. Wray and Nephew
have taken this decision in the wake of artistes' recent performances
at the Jamaica Carnival's Last Hurrah where profane language was
used by Bounty Killer while Beenie Man incited the audience to use
the same. News Source: Jamaican Star
Beenie Man Rises
ANYWAY YOU LOOK at it, deejay Beenie Man is a survivor.
Everytime life throws a curve ball at him, Beenie manages
to slip by, and though sometimes bruised, he manages to
survive.
In early 2003, Beenie's smashing new Hummer H2
sailed off the Mandela Highway and was completely written
off. After a few broken bones, Beenie Man recovered to
record a string of tunes to signal his return.More records?
That's correct. Beenie Man recorded more.
Early this year, he was blamed for the murder of Bogle,
and went into hiding because of threats against him.
Immediately after the situation started clearing up, Beenie
Man hit back with more tunes. Frame I on Don Carleone's
Jonkanoo rhythm, and now Take This Message, are currently
hot numbers for the 'Doctor,' and a new DVD/CD From
Kingston To King Of The Dancehall is selling in stores overseas.
