LAA LEE FEELS HEAT FOR ‘CORNFLAKES’ SONG Artiste insists he did nothing wrong

-

Lee for failing to see how much of a role model he has become since gaining his big break and encouraged him to refrain from performing the song in schools.

The video has since been removed from the entertaine­r’s page.

When THE WEEKEND STAR contacted him, Laa Lee acknowledg­ed how some persons may have found the video inappropri­ate. He explained that he never intended the song to be as big as it is, and said that he made sure that he performed the clean version for the students.

PEOPLE MADE IT A HIT

“My song at the time was not built with the intention of getting public attention. The people of my country decided on this becoming the success that it is. The radio version hosts clean lyrics and the raw version hosts innuendos with parental advisory,” he said.

“It is not my responsibi­lity to filter what people sing or do. I perform according to my audience, and I’m careful. I respect women and children. These kids did not hear or learn this song in my house. A lot of questions need to be asked, but to who? Not me.”

In light of Laa Lee’s statement, THE WEEKEND STAR sought to seek answers elsewhere, but we were unsuccessf­ul. In our attempts to gain answers to the questions Laa Lee said should to be asked, our news team contacted the principal of the Windward Road Primary and Junior High School, Noel Pennant. Pennant refused to give a statement on the matter, stating that he has to discuss the issue with higher authoritie­s before commenting.
