The Government of Grenada recently denied the leader of the Portmore Empire a work permit. This is on the basis of the possibility of lewd and crewed music that could be given to the folks on the island for consumption. The speculations are that Grenada has some vendetta since the 1983 invasions but you can rest a sure that this is not the case.
The Government in Jamaica recently banned the explicit lyrics among other things off the airwaves, Guyana also imposed a ban on Movado as well as well a number of other Caribbean countries unwilling to have the minds, hearts and souls of their people poisoned by the potent content of these artiste lyrics.
Though acts have cleaned up a bit since the music ban.. especially Kartel... with quite a few lyrics emphasising his love for money. The money theme itself can be interpreted as trying to get money by all means and thus falls mostly in the immoral and illegal categories of trying to get that scarce set of paper. This could now stand as the basis for a rejection for a man like Kartel who doesn't have much of a clean lyrics reputation in the music business.
I dont know perhaps the ban does not stop here, the precedence has been set.. so you will find that whatever reason these countries ban certain artiste... chances are the other countries will follow suit.
IMPERSONATING
They should also consider banning any artiste who makes an attempt to impersonate another which includes using the name, songs and characteristics of any other artiste. Where these impersonators are collecting money under false pretense and creating mischief and confusion in the the dancehall arena. So Aidonia I dont know if a something you organise ..but remember what happen to Foota dem in westmoreland and even now I understand the tension between him and Mavado might still exist.
Donia should get rid of that JOP member who is impersonating him if he did not have it authorised.
