Beenie Man pleads for peace after Sumfest


Beenie Man

Beenie Man sought to clear the air on the incident that took place at Reggae Sumfest's Dancehall night when he performed at the Pepsi Teen Splash on Monday.

The Doctor, during his performance, appealed for peace in the music industry. He said the incident was taken out of context.

"Di whole ting wha happen pon Dancehall Night a Sumfest was exaggerated by some people," he said.

"Mi hear a man a seh tings bout mi an mi come pon stage fi defend mi self. Him (Bounty Killer) walk off when mi come fi defen miself. As far mi concern di war done. Mi done di war a peace mi a deal wid," The Doctor stated.

He, however, didn't refrain from taking the spoils. "As far as mi concern though, a me win because a man run before from me. But a peace time now an mi want everyting done," he said.

Beenie Man, who performed last at the Pepsi Teen Splash show at Port Kaiser in St. Elizabeth, took the audience down memory lane with hits such as Old Dawg, Suzuki and Book Shelf. He danced on stage while calling up Kitty Paw and Little Shotta to help him display the Log On. His performance closed the event but not before he had thrilled some members of the audience with his antics. Some of the upcoming and amateur acts proved their worth on a night when a lot was expected of them from the Port Kaiser audience.

The younger members of the Shocking Vibes camp showed that the name Shocking Vibes Production would live on for some time when the likes of Kitty Paw, Little Shotta and N' Daddy thrilled the audience with their scorching performances.

Every time Kitty Paw touched the mike the crowd went wild. He had lighters flickering and the crowd jumping as he stamped his mark on the audience.

But the younger artistes were not the only members of the Shocking Vibes camp who impressed. Sadu and Patchy also managed to get the crowd moving at short intervals.
