Beenie Man career buck and stop

- SHEREITA GRIZZLE Staff Reporter

Dancehall artiste Pamputtae says she has crossed Ghetto Splash off the list of events she will be supporting in the future.

This, after the entertaine­r claims she was unfairly treated by the event’s organisers as well as a fellow dancehall entertaine­r when she turned up at the annual event on Tuesday night.

Speaking with THE WEEKEND STAR, the Sticky Whine singer dropped Beenie Man as the person at the root of her demise at Ghetto Splash.

According to Pamputtae, Beenie Man jumped a list of artistes scheduled to perform before him, including her, resulting in her having to cut her set short.

“My road manager check the schedule and see a who next fi perform. Dat a when Beenie Man just a come a di venue. Dem seh after Assassin a me, den when mi go deh and ready fi work, the woman (one of the stage managers) a seh, ‘No, a Beenie fi perform’, and Beenie Man deh behind a me a tell dem nuh fi gimme di mic when him know seh a never fi him time fi work because him just come,” she lamented.

“Memba Beenie Man a bigger artiste fi me, enuh, so why him woulda wah work before me? Wah more Beenie Man can do? Him career buck and stop.”

She went on to say that she is so hurt by what transpired that even with an apology, she doesn’t think she will ever perform at Ghetto Splash again.

“Him (Jamie) call me and apologise and me accept it, but mi nah perform deh again. Mi a di only female artiste weh people really a look forward to weh show up, and mi hurt seh dem never wah me fi work,” she said. “A free show and a my money spend, not even water mi nuh get a dem venue. Me never mus haffi go.”

Having caught wind of Pamputtae’s rants on social media, Beenie Man sought to set the records straight on what transpired at Ghetto Splash.
