No Visas Cannot Hold Down Jamaican Artists

I said I wasn't going to comment on the recent revocation of the some of the top dance-hall artists of my homeland Jamaica because my opinion would be deemed somewhat bias.. But for over a week and a half of investigating all the information being put forth by both governments, I'm breaking my silence because of what the United States are doing and how they are going about this is making me raise my uni-brow eyebrows..

“I couldn't believe that the Jamaican or U.S. governments would violate the privacy rights of citizens and publish their legal names, their birth dates, their actual Jamaican passport numbers and their U.S. Visa Control numbers, I did not believe it,” these are the words of another well known artist Jah Cure.

The actions of the United States is being prompted because of the lack of co-operation of the Jamaican government in the extradition of Christopher "Dudus" Coke, apparent leader of the Shower Posse that his father once ruled in the 1980's...The United States is basically trying to stifle Jamaica's economy to the point where they break and that I don't agree with because not only is the country going to suffer as a result but so will Jamaican born residents of the U.S. and promoters who look forward to see these performers each yea

The artists that have suffered include the like of Sizzla, Bounty Killer, Movado, Aidonia and legendary dancehall King Beenie Man....Beenie man took it upon himself to record a song because of this crisis titled Visa Song http://www.mediafire.com/?zggykyfy2yw.

Exclusive - Gyptian feat. Nicki Minaj- "Hold Yuh Remix"

I must say that I'm not really a big Nicki Minaj fan, but I'm a fan nonetheless and when you see someone grinding as hard as she is, you have to give respect...I think she is the hardest working female in the industry right now and she is doing it by reaching out to other genres of music and this time its the reggae scene.. Granted other female rappers like Foxy Brown and Lil Kim has done so before,I personally think she held her own on the remix of the Gyptian hit Hold Yuh

Bounty Killer - The Alliance 5 Star General Arrested

Dancehall artist, Bounty Killer, was arrested at his home in Jamaica on Monday, April 5, after assaulting his girlfriend of three years.

According to reports, Bounty Killer, born Rodney Price, was arrested by Jamaica's St. Andrew North Police and still remains in custody. Police officials reportedly revealed that Price used his one phone call at the station to reach his ex-girlfriend and threaten her life. A local judge refused to grant bail, forcing Price to remain in custody until his court date this Wednesday (April 7). In addition to the new assault case, he is still battling previous charges, which include illegal possession of a firearm, marijuana possession and unlawful wounding and assault.

Bounty Killer's new legal troubles come on the heels of the U.S. Government's move to revoke work visas for five dancehall artists including Beenie Man, Mavado and Bounty Killer himself. Although the reason for the canceled visas is not clear, airlines have been warned not to allow the artists to board flights to the U.S., forcing them to cancel several shows in the Florida region. Bounty Killer made headlines last July when he was arrested for assaulting a police officer two years prior. The dancehall rapper is best known in the U.S. for his album 'My Xperience' as well as his collaboration with No Doubt on their single 'Hey Baby.'

NAS HAS GONE FROM ILL-MATIC TO PAY-O-MATIC

When it comes to rap lyrics Nas is illmatic, but it seems that when it comes to ex-wife Kelis you can consider him Pay-o-matic..Nas was ordered to pay more than $350,000 in back support to his ex wife and mother of his child Kelis plus her legal and accounting fees as well.
Nas who is preparing to drop his collabo album with Jamaican sensation Damian Marley titled Distant Relatives on May 18, was ordered to pay over 47,000 in back child support, over $40,000 in back spousal support immediately and pay Kelis’ legal fees of over $155,000 and over $48,000 in her accounting expenses..
All I can say about this, marriage is a sacred vow and a pre-nup is not always gonna help you...When you get married especially in the entertainment business make sure its for love and not for a short-lived stint just to look good together or to knock someone up...Kelis keep collecting whats rightfully yours..Im definitely not mad at you
