Will Trini promoters Scorch Limited be suing dancehall veteran Bounty Killer? Bounty Killer is alleging that he was not paid to share the stage with his fellow dancehall artist and one-time arch nemesis Beenie Man at the Guinness Fully Loaded concert in the twin island republic of Trinidad/Tobago on Saturday night.
Bounty Killer walked off the stage during a performance with Beenie Man and later,as many celebrities do nowadays, Bounty utilized to social media to express himself:
LET ME STATE THIS CLEARLY THE PROMOTERS OF GUINNESS FULLY LOADED HAD NEVER BOOKED ME TO PERFORM ALONG WITH BEENIE MAN THEY BOOKED BOTH ME AND BEENIE AS SOLO ACTS AND THINK THATS HOW IT WORKS AS LONG AS BOTH ARTISTE ON THE SHOW THEN WE GONNA WORK TOGETHER NOPE I TOLD DEM THAT THEY HAS TO PAY FOR THAT SEPARATELY AND THEY DID NOT SO IN MY HEAD I WAS GONNA DO WHAT I WAS PAID TO DO WHICH WAS MY SOLO SET I TOLD ONE OF THE PROMOTERS I WILL DO MY SET THEN CALL UP BEENIE AT THE END AND DO A FEW AND HE SAID FINE I WAS TOLD I WERE NEXT AFTER Aidonia ONLY TO HEAR THEY CALLING BOUNTY AND BEENIE TOGETHER ON STAGE IF THE PPL NOTICED IT TOOK LIKE 5 MINUTES FOR ME TO CAME OUT AS I WASN’T GONNA BOTHER PERFORM SINCE THE PROMOTER THINKS THAT THEY CAN PUT ME ON THE SPOT BUT FOR THE LOVE OF MY TRINI FANS I JUST DO A SHORT SET WITH BEENIE AND LEAVE!! @thejamaicastar @jamaicaobserver @jamaican_media @jamaicagleaner @hypetvjamaica
