Oxycontin is not your friend Tip

We want to put a moment of thought out there to inspire our young general - Clifford Harris Jr. Otherwise and more popularly known as T.I or Tip.

Dear Tip, 
Oxycontin is NOT Your Friend, Believe Us the only thing it can do is take you to places you don't like to go like Painville.

It looks like TI is headed back behind bars for his parole violation in California last month. The Judge gave him eleven months behind bars beginning November 1st. hopefully this time when he comes out we'll see no paper trail back to the courts.

What makes no sense is that this is a prescription for a medication - not an illegal or street drug. It was prescribed by a Dentist for after care following verifiable extensive dental surgery. How can you go to jail for your own prescription ? and what do they do when he goes to jail if he is supposedly addicted to the oxycodone ? does he go through some kind of rapid detox program ? or do they just put him in jail to sweat it out ? this makes little to no sense to us, from both a legal and or a medical standpoint.

According to T.I.’s legal team, a prescription of addicting oxycodone was prescribed to him after having a dental procedure which consisted of seven root canals and two extractions earlier this year, this is what allegedly helped to pushed him off the wagon.

OOOOOHH NOOOOOOOOO ! Not Tip and Tiny


OOOOOHH NOOOOOOOOO ! Not Tip and Tiny

Both T.I. and Tiny were booked at the West Hollywood sheriff's station on charges of felony possession of a controlled substance, and bail was set at $10,000 each. Deputy Jeff Gordon confirmed on Thursday morning (September 2) that both had posted bail around 4 a.m. PT and were due back in court on the charges on September 3. A spokesperson for T.I.'s label could not be reached for comment early Thursday morning.
Lastnite the couple were arrested for possession of Marijuana in Los Angeles. Togerther as always, They bonded out shortly after 4 am pacific time; and are now awaiting the public verdict on their arrest. No Doubt being arrested on Marijuana charges is usually a light fine in California; since they have more liberal Marijuana laws. but damn Tip and Tiny - y'all gotta fly under the radar my peeples. Tip you are already hot as a firecracker from your new movie release, and Tiny folks just love to hate on your because you're a smart pretty woman with a fine ass hubby.

This is Tip on the Wendy Williams show on his gun arrest



We Know You Loves Ya Babies TIP, But Be Careful Baby you are a public figure and they are camped out waiting for you to make a wrong move so they can make you a statistic. Don't Do It Please.

Please Tip and Tiny - close the Moonroof, and keep the kush unda wraps. We don't wanna see ya in matching orange jumpsuits, cause that just ain't cute.
We will update on this just as soon as there is more info released.



MTV Reports that Rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle were arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday night for alleged possession of a controlled substance.
According to an arrest report on the incident from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, during the course of a traffic stop involving Tip (born Clifford Harris Jr.), 29, and Cottle, 36, on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood at 10:30 p.m., "deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle."
A narcotics investigation followed and both Tiny and T.I. were "found to be in possession of a controlled substance." At press time, there was no information on which drug the possession charge covered.
TMZ reported that the recently married couple were traveling in a Maybach when they were stopped by deputies.
Both T.I. and Tiny were booked at the West Hollywood sheriff's station on charges of felony possession of a controlled substance, and bail was set at $10,000 each. Deputy Jeff Gordon confirmed on Thursday morning (September 2) that both had posted bail around 4 a.m. PT and were due back in court on the charges on September 3. A spokesperson for T.I.'s label could not be reached for comment early Thursday morning.
Tip, who celebrated the #1 debut of his film "Takers" last weekend, is on federal probation following a seven-month prison term he completed in March on weapons charges. At press time, Gordon said considering T.I. was allowed to post bail on the drug charge, it did not appear that the rapper's probation from the federal charge would be impacted by Wednesday night's arrest.

Welcome Home Tip – Santa Came Skrate to the Ghetto



This is Fabulous News.  no doubt the judge will allow him to visit with his family during the holidays. Good Work Tip, We knew you had it in ya.  now we have just a few weeks left until he’s back on the streets making music again.


Shawty Where You Headed Tonite ?

Rapper T.I. released from prison – CNN.com.
(CNN) — Rapper T.I. was released from prison on Tuesday after seven months, his attorney confirmed.
The performer, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., will serve the remainder of a reduced sentence in a correctional center near Fulton County Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

Harris was sentenced to a year and a day in March 2009 resulting from weapons charges related to purchasing machine guns and silencers.

Officials charged him with providing a bodyguard with $12,000 to buy weapons.
In May, he reported to a federal prison complex in Forrest City, Arkansas, to begin serving his sentence.

In addition to serving prison time, T.I. was placed on house arrest, given community service and was ordered to pay a $100,300 fine.

It was not the first time the platinum-selling artist had been in trouble with the law. Harris was not permitted to own any guns because he had been convicted in 1998 on felony drug charges, possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, in Cobb County in suburban Atlanta.

After the rapper’s arrest, he entered a plea agreement, which federal authorities called unique because it allowed him to remain out of prison for a year while he performed.

Steve Sadow, Harris’ attorney, said prisoners with Harris’ sentence are eligible for a 54-day sentence reduction for good behavior. Harris is expected to remain at the halfway house for three months and will still be required to finish serving slightly less than 500 hours of community service and about 23 days of home incarceration.

Before reporting to prison, Harris threw himself a going-away party/concert attended by thousands at Philips Arena in Atlanta.

It's Saturday @ the Circus wtih Dennis in Drag, Kelis' Milkshake and Weezy (if we can wake his ass up)

This is another Saturday round up, and we are not short of clowns this episode.. we give you Gastly to Goddess.. You Make the Call - but remember This Is ALL NEWS, To Some of Us. LOL

DENNIS RODMAN ACCUSED OF STIFFING RESTAURANT BILL:

Den Den was off his meds apparently, and somebody needs to point him in the direction of the nearest Make Over Reality Show, QUICK. He Is The Biggest LOSER. any respectable drag queen would never been seen dead with that purse and dress. And to think he had the nerve to cause a stank on the Beach. He Needs His Ass Whooped Real Momma Style.

Plus, member of his crew allegedly assaulted manager when he asked for the money.

*Within days of his appearance on the season finale of “The Apprentice” and promise to enter rehab, Dennis Rodman got himself in trouble in Miami after sources claim he left a restaurant without paying the bill.
TMZ.com reported Sunday, “Rodman and some friends had dinner last night at the Gansevoort Hotel in Miami, and left without paying the $1,000 bill. When the manager tried stopping Rodman’s party, an altercation erupted and the GM got punched in the face — allegedly by a member of Rodman’s posse.”
According to the Web site, the fight spilled into the street and resulted in a rear view mirror being knocked off a $289,000 Lamborghini parked near the sidewalk.
Police confirm the Miami Beach PD responded to a call from the hotel right around the time the altercation took place. No word yet on whether the victim will press charges.
The restaurant agreed not to press charges if the bill was paid — and it was.

Label Rep Says Lil Wayne Album Pushed Back Again To July

One month after it was reported that Lil Wayne’s new album Rebirth was pushed back to June, XXLMag.com has learned that the project has been moved once again.
Reports came out today that the disc was moved, and a label rep has confirmed that the experimental album will now come out sometime in July. It is unclear if the several tracks that have leaked on the net will be included on the CD, like “Politics” with Gudda Gudda or “Spit In Your Face” with Cash Money artist Kevin Rudolf.

Yet according to Rolling Stone, the leaked song “Fix My Hat” will be on Rebirth.
In April it was reported that Universal wants to the release Weezy’s Young Money compilation on the same date as Rebirth, which is complicating the drop date. As of press time it is uncertain if that is still the case. – Elan Mancini

Nas Wants Judge To Deny Kelis Spousal Support In Divorce

It doesn’t look like Nas and Kelis are on good terms. After filing for divorce last month against her husband of three years, Kelis - who cannot work because she is pregnant with the Queens rapper’s son - is asking for Nas to pay for her lawyer fees in the case.

TMZ reports today (May 20) that not only does Nas not want to pay for his ex’s attorney, but he doesn’t want to fork over any money for spousal support.

Both Esco and the R&B singer are seeking custody of the child that Kelis is just weeks away from birthing. Rumor is that Kelis filed for the split because she believes Nas was cheating on her.
As of press time neither artist has offered any statements about the case. – Elan Mancini

Kelis lets the audience preview Her Milkshake
Kelis Baby Do You Have to let errybody get a taste of Yo Milkshake ? Damnn Girl cover that shit up.
*Documents filed in Los Angeles reveal that Nas, 35, has asked a court to deny his pregnant wife Kelis any spousal support in their divorce.

The 29-year-old “Milkshake” singer, whose first child with Nas is due in July, filed for divorce last month, according to reports. Both sides are seeking joint custody of the unborn child.
Although the couple went public with their marriage with a ceremony in 2005, the pair was secretly married at a courthouse in 2003, a source confirms.

SNOOP DOGG CLEARED OF STAGE ASSAULT:

Go Snoop, we knew that you’d win this one. Here’s a lil advice Big Homie - next time keep the fans off the stage while you and yo posse’ workin. it’s been known to get gully up there

Jury finds Snoop is not personally responsible for fan beatdown at 2005 concert.

*A civil jury on Friday cleared Snoop Dogg of civil assault and battery claims in the beating of a fan who stormed the concert stage during a 2005 concert near Seattle.

The jury, however, did find that Richard Monroe Jr. suffered serious injuries during the concert and awarded him $449,400 in damages to be paid by a record label, another performer and others involved in the concert, reports the Associated Press.

The damages awarded were substantially lower than the $22 million Monroe sought when he sued the rapper in 2006.

Jurors found that Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, doesn’t personally owe Monroe anything. The artist was not in court Friday for the verdict, but he attended part of the trial and testified, denying that he struck Monroe.

During two weeks of testimony, jurors were repeatedly shown a video of a melee that Monroe said left him unconscious, badly bruised and nearly naked. Monroe’s attorney, Brian E. Watkins, said jurors did believe his client’s contention that Snoop’s people were involved in a savage beating.

“We’re very pleased that the jury found that this incident was not something to be taken lightly,” Watkins said.
Responsibility for paying the judgment falls on Doggystyle Records, which Broadus founded; rapper Soopafly, whose real name is Priest Brooks; and other unnamed parties.


SWIZZ BEATZ WANTS DIVORCE COURT GAG:

Producer asks judge to seal the case; Mashonda’s lawyer calls move ‘curious.’

Swizz YOU A HOE, and Alicia - Well it’s obvious you have no judgement.. Go Get Yo Ass some Therapy you Homewrecker. Mashonda did nothing to you Alicia, so you will get this back, in the later-on babygirl, mark these words. What Goes Around, Comes Right Back to Yo Ass, in a lil while - always
(May 22, 2009)
*Now that he’s gone public about his romance with songstress Alicia Keys, rapper and producer Swizz Beatz wants the public barred from ongoing divorce proceedings with his wife, singer Mashonda, the New York Post’s Dareh Gregorian reports.

Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, has asked Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan to seal the proceedings and issue a gag order.

Mashonda’s lawyer, Bernard Clair, called the move “curious,” and noted that his client’s divorce suit and request for support for their son were “flying under the radar until Mr. Dean and Alicia Keys went public about their long-term affair and he released a song implying that he likes it when Alicia serves him breakfast naked.

“Now that Mr. Dean’s questionable conduct is being scrutinized, he suddenly wants a gag order and the media to be locked out?”

T.I. RELEASES ALFAMEGA FROM LABEL:

Rapper takes action after reports surface that he was a DEA informant.

Have Mercy, Tip you cleanin house. good move my man, good move. now if you can get that shit cleaned up before you get done with your bid, the rest will be gravy baby.
The rapper, who was sentenced to one year and a day behind bars on federal weapons charges last month, has dropped Alfamega from his Grand Hustle Records following a published report by SmokingGun.com earlier last week that claims he was an informant for the drug enforcement administration during a trial on a heroin trafficker.
“Even though all our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their past history, at no time did Alfa disclose to me or Grand Hustle what has now appeared in the media,” T.I., born Clifford Harris, said during an interview on Atlanta’s 107.9 radio station.
“He essentially deceived us by failing to fully disclose the truth about his past, and there is no place in our organization for dishonest and misleading behavior,” he continued. “As I have always said, you must take responsibility for your own actions. We at Grand Hustle can not support or condone the blaming of others for our own mistakes. I hope and pray to God, bless his savings plans, but I don’t foresee me or my company playing a role in his personal or professional business.”‘
T.I. pleaded guilty last March after he was arrested in 2007, attempting to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers.

RAYMONE BAIN SUES MIJAC OVER UNPAID FEES:

How the Hell is she suing anybody with her Shady Ass? she’s just mad she aint’ gettin none of that O2 money.

Singer’s former rep seeks $44 million, only ‘after numerous attempts to resolve matter amicably.’

*Raymone K. Bain, the famous former publicist for Michael Jackson who became widely known during the singer’s child molestation trial, has filed a lawsuit against the King of Pop for failing to pay her fee.
In the lawsuit, Bain is seeking $44 million from the entertainer. She claims to have overseen every aspect of Jackson’s life, including arranging his housing, paying his bills, running his companies and helping to save him from foreclosure, among other things.
But one has to wonder if Jackson’s supposed to be broke, why is she suing for that much money and how does she justify that figure? The Washington D.C.-based lawyer sent EUR the following statement regarding her lawsuit:
“It is with deep regret that I find myself at this place, having to file a lawsuit against my longtime employer, and someone whom I have greatly admired and respected, Michael Jackson.
“Mr. Jackson and I have had a long, productive and mutually beneficial business relationship.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I am sincerely disappointed in Mr. Jackson’s failure to honor his obligations.
“This lawsuit will result in some discussion about the relationship between Mr. Jackson and me. Hypothetical theories, accusations and rumors, if gauging from the past, will be many. However, all of these will be replaced in court with the truth.
“On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the individuals who have given so much of their time and effort to assist me throughout the Jackson years. I thank you for your support and prayers. To the Jackson fans who have written letters to me, thank you, and I wish you all the best.
“Despite the action I have been compelled to take for professional and business reasons, when looking back, I have no regrets. Michael Jackson, in my opinion, is the ‘King of Pop,’ and I wish him, and his family, only the best.”

SERENA WILLIAMS LOSES IN ROME: But her jewelry and accessories line wins big on HGN.

It Matters Not - This is the Queen of Tennis - and Y’all Betta recogize. this girl is a multimillionaire in the prime of her life. she’s gonna buy and sell all y’all tabloids by puttin her face on your cover. Pay Her Damn it. that’s all you can do, cause she can Do What It Do.

YOU Go Serena !

*Less than 24 hours after proclaiming she is the true No. 1-ranked women’s tennis player, world number two Serena Williams was knocked out the second round of Tuesday’s WTA Rome claycourt International by No. 20 Patty Schnyder 6-2, 2-6, 6-1.

According to AFP, “the game did not finish until 1 a.m. local time and there was a strange and subdued atmosphere, although Schnyder at least managed to lift herself enough to see off her poor opponent.”
Perhaps Williams was still distracted from the successful launch of her fashion, accessories and jewelry line on HSN and www.hsn.com, with 25,000 pieces selling out after just 3 hours of air time during HSN’s primetime debut (Thursday-Saturday morning) April 30 - May 2.
Serena Williams Signature Statement is a complete accessories collection including handbags, jewelry and apparel that ranges from $16.50 for the Signature Statement Rings of Bling Drop Earrings up to $99.95 for the Signature Statement Flowing Floral Reversible Maxi Dress.
During the launch, Serena modeled her collection, told anecdotes about the inspiration behind each piece and took calls from elated fans from around the country. One of the most popular pieces was the famous Lucky Ring Serena wears during each of her winning matches. Additionally, nearly every handbag and fashion jewelry piece was spoken for by the end of her last show on Saturday morning.
“I love to make a statement both on and off the court. Passion, drive and hard work have taken me down this and many other creative paths throughout my life,” said Williams. “As with tennis, it takes a lot of discipline and precision to make beautiful things come to life. This is a dream come true for me to share truly gorgeous things that I love with the world on HSN.”
Now is that enough for ya ?

Land It Yourself Planes; Lil Kim's Stolen Car Issues; Stars and their Gay Angst; and Jamaica's Hottness

Today we give you a catch up day with alot of news and entertainment stories.
Remember "COMMENTING DOES A BLOG GOOD"



What would you do if your pilot died in mid flite ?
Watch This, and yes this is actual footage of the incident.



Lil Kim in the news…again

By yardFlex on Foreign Vibes
lil-kim.jpgPoor Lil Kim seems that trouble just follows her wherever she goes. The latest according to a TMZ report is that the rapper, who has already served time for not snitching, was unknowingly driving a stolen Bentley for months before it was taken from her New Jersey home last year.


According to the website Lil' Kim claims the silver Bentley was a gift from music producer Scott Storch, but the Repo man wasn't trying to hear that sob story when they towed it away.Turns out, Storch had stopped making payments on the expensive car and decided to give it to Kim instead of returning it to the Broward leasing company he got it from. The lease was for $85,000, according to the Sun-Sentinel, but the car was probably worth a lot more.Bad move because now Storch is facing grand theft auto charges and is set to appear in court next month.Meanwhile, Lil' Kim is trying to survive the next round of cuts on "Dancing With The Stars."Word of advice for the sexy rapping felon: next time someone offers you an $85,000 gift, get a receipt.

R Kelly involved with a man?

By yardFlex on What's Cracking
r-kelly.jpgNah someone must be lying this hell can’t be true. If the report on mediatakeout is anything to go by then very soon an explosive book will be hitting the shelves on the singer’s so called affair with a man who is only going by the name of ‘Russell’.

Russell claims he will be telling all and will be coming with some shocking secrets…if that’s the case we all we can say is let’s see what he has.


Bow Wow in a bit of a mess !

By yardFlex on Yard News
Bow Wow.jpgMediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that rapper Bow Wow is in a bit of a mess. Apparently, he went on a video blog yesterday – and said that he was uncomfortable having a gay barber. Or to be specific – having a gay barber “touch his head”

That comment has caused a mini-uproar in the Black gay community. Here’s an example of the response that Bow Weezy’s comments are evoking taken from BET reporter Clay Cane’s blog:

Yesterday Bow Wow held a live video chat where he answered questions from the few fans he has left.

During the chat Bow Wow revealed how uncomfortable he gets around gays.

He talked about a time where he needed a haircut and had his people go and find him a barber. But after noticing the barber was gay he told them that he didn’t want the haircut anymore.

He said he didn’t want a gay barber touching his head.

I’m guessing either the top of his dome is his hot spot or he seems to think homosexuality is contagious.
Isn’t it funny that a guy who twirled his neck like a hurricane and flinched his wrist around like it just suffered a stroke during a special with Omarion (you know, that masculine guy) is saying that he’s homophobic?

We’re just gonna leave this one alone …. FOR NOW!!!

Ambassador Rihanna Exposed At Reggae Concert

By yardFlex on Yard News
beenie_man.jpgYardflex came across the following article on bajan.wordpress.com and if you thought that Beenie Man didn’t diss Rihanna in Barbados then think again. Some Bajans are really worked up over it.Below is the article that was posted on the website and some of comments that were posted.

Ambassador Rihanna did a cameo at Reggae On The Hill last week during Beenie Man’s performance. For BU family members who don’t have the ear to understand what he is singing in the video here is the hook line Me no have fancy car, but me no give you no scar. From reports Rihanna lingered on stage for a little while and then scuttled with her tail between her legs.

The dignity of Ambassador Rihanna exposed by what some people would call a thug in Beenie Man. It is no secret that many of the dancehall/dub artistes who frequent Barbados are very well known to court rooms around the world. We thought it laughable that several of the dancehall/reggae artistes who performed at Farley Hill last week complained about the treatment meted out by the Royal Barbados Police Force. Did they believe that our police force is clueless? People get ‘high’ just walking through the crowd at one of these shows!

Sorry guys but we give the police the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Chris and Rihanna finally over?

By yardFlex on What's Cracking
chris-brown-rihanna.jpgIt seems as if Rihanna has finally come to her senses if the report that was carried in the US Magazine is anything to go by. According to her father Ronald Fenty who spoke to the magazine he was quoted as saying the following.

Rihanna’s a different person, back to herself. It’s like Chris never [even] existed. She seems reborn. And in another report a source was quoted as saying that Rihanna’s is in a really good place realizing how precious life is.”

The Barbadian singer is even learning to relax as Beenie Man ‘draw card’ on her at a show in Barbados and then called her on stage and she went exciting the crowd even further.

You go girl

Police show private parts to students

By yardFlex on Yard Passa
By Rootzgirl
Rasta-Girl-silhouette.jpgWhat in blazes is happening in our country did you read the report in the Star on the policeman who the Director of Public Prosecutions ruled that charges of outrageous public indecency be brought against him?


According to the story he was reported revealed his privates to schoolchildren at an all-girls school.All this we understand in an attempt to impress the female students at the institution on Monday.


Now what I want to ask is, couldn’t he have found a more mature audience to try and impress, say go to a male strip joint since he is so proud of his member.


It is disappointing that someone who is charged with maintaining the law should be engaged in this kind of activity and at a place where the girls there should be enjoying his protection.

More and more those who are charged with leading are letting us down, I can’t help but wonder what it will be next. Personally if you ask me that policeman has a mental problem…he can’t believe he could exhibit that kind of behaviour and not receive the repercussions from it.


In case you are shocked and thinking that this is just too crazy to be true the incident has been confirmed by Deputy Superintendent Michael Phipps of the Half-Way-Tree Police…blessedly for him he did not call his name.The accused policeman, who is in early 20s, is scheduled to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's court…let’s hope this will serve to put some sense in his head.

T.I. Says He Turned To Crime As A Teen For 'Independence'

ti-quest.jpgT.I. 's 2007 arrest for attempting to buy illegal firearms led many observers to believe the rapper's career was finished and he'd be spending a long stretch in prison. The rapper had previously done jail stints for drug-related offenses.
So how did an exemplary student, as Tip said he was, turn to a fast life of crime?

"I think for me, it was independence. It was about independence. It was about being a provider. It was me and my mom at that point, and from what I saw of my uncles and what I saw of my pops, they were providers," T.I. told MTV News on Saturday during his interview that will air Tuesday night (March 31) on MTV's "Road to Redemption: The Reckoning."

"They provided for their family and other people's families. They were the ones that other people came to when they didn't know what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. Where there was no way, my uncles and my pops made a way, and that's what I saw."

For Tip, he said those figures became his examples. By the time he hit his teens, he moved to place himself in that provider position. He'd receive final-notice bills from his mother, and he said it was then his responsibility to make sure their lives remained steady. So he turned to selling crack.

The rapper said he masked his illegal activity with a more modest, innocent front: selling candy.
"My mom never knew how I was getting it done, she just knew I was getting it done," Tip recalled. "I had a few fronts too, man. I used to sell candy. I used to go to the warehouse and buy a bunch of candy, get a book bag full of candy, and off it. I pretended to my mom for a long time that that's how I was getting the money."

Call 911: "Daggering aka Domestic violence" says US TV station





OutAroad.com gets to understand that an American TV station called truTV has described daggering as domestic violence. The TV station did a semi documentary with clips from the famous Dutty Fridaze that recently held in L.A on which they had several persons commenting on the dancing behavior of the patrons as if they were commentators at a wrestling match.

Vybz denied entry in Grenada

By yardFlex on Yard News
1233414.jpgIt seems as if dancehall DJ Vybz Kartel doesn't measure up to par when it comes to his lyrics. The DJ whose real name is Adija Palmer was denied performance permit by Grenadian Government.
The red-hot entertainer, whose controversial lyrics have brought him lots of media attention both in and out of Jamaica, was scheduled to perform a rap-it-up concert in Grenville St. Andrews on Saturday, May 2 2009, where his popular Daggering condom was to be officially launched.

Vybz Kartel, who is well known for his hard hitting ghetto lyrics and rival showdowns with popular Artist Marvado, has been leaning towards more positive messages in his songs, with emphasis on respecting Women and Mothers and hints of Rasta-fari teachings. His recent condom campaigns for saving lives have also been well received. Vybz Kartels recent release Mama has taken the charts by storm, and the Artist will be doing several performances in the Caribbean, to include neighboring Trinidad and Tobago on May 8th 2009.


No reason was given by the Ministry of Labour in Grenada for the refusal of the work permits, but the sensitive issue of censorship or freedom of expression may have been at the forefront. The promoter of the event is claiming thousand of dollars in losses and is now seeking legal advice, since neither himself nor the Artists were aware of the Governments blacklisting. Vybz Kartel last performed in Grenada Dec. 5th 2008 to a sold out audience.

Jamaica beware

By yardFlex on Yard News
Gay_sign.pngThe gays have stepped up their attack on Jamaica . Their latest ploy is a campaign to boycott Jamaican products.


A gay rights group from California took their campaign to the streets of New York City on Wednesday and engaged in a rum dump at Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street in Manhattan. According to Caribbean World News the owners were urged to dump their stock of Myers Rum and Red Stripe Beer in the sewer while other bars are being urged to follow suit.


Jamaicans are hitting out against it accusing that there were others in the US who were anti gays…and yet they weren’t being targeted.


The New Jersey resident insists the gay rights attack against Jamaica is `very disingenuous.`
`There are conservative Christian groups in the U.S. who are very anti-homosexuality and anti-gay so why aren’t they going up against them? One person was quoted by Caribbean World News as saying.


She answered her own question by adding: `It`s because those groups have a strong lobbying and can’t be pushed around so they’re coming after the weakness of the Jamaicans, which is we don’t have a strong lobby to push back and raise awareness.`


The Jamaican national also insisted that gays are not being killed in Jamaica simply because they are gays, despite what many claim. And she questioned: `How dare they try to castigate an entire island because of their lifestyle? It’s a shame that they want respect but can’t respect our laws.`
