In case U missed it

Rift between Demarco and Popcaan?

Have you heard Demarco’s new single entitled Kingston City? The word is that it is directed towards Gaza prefect Popcaan.

“People a sey a Popcaan mi a dis, well a Popcaan mi dis. Whol’ heap a dem tief mi style including him,” Demarco explained. He also said that the song was recorded for his new upcoming mixtape, and was not intended to start a feud. “But if some people feel it’s a diss, then it’s a diss.”

Consequently, Popcaan released his new song Fry Yiy, which is also rumoured to be a shot at Demarco. According to Fallen Soldiers singer, however, Popcaan is not as popular as he is and should choose his words more carefully.

Beenie Man forced to cancel 106 & Park performance

Self-proclaimed King of the Dancehall, Moses ‘Beenie Man’ Davis — who was set to perform alongside hip-hop superstar, Nicki Minaj — had to cancel his trip because of visa problems.

The collaboration titled G**shot, which was the first single off Minaj’s new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded was to be performed on BET’s 106 & Park in New York, however, Nicki did not perform the song because of Beenie’s absence.

Beenie Man’s management team says the dancehall artiste was unable to meet his performing obligation because he does not currently have a US work permit, but has a US visitor’s visa.

Get out of my business

Bajan pop sensation Rihanna expressed how tired she is of always being asked questions about her personal life in interviews.

During her Battleship promotional run in Australia earlier this week, RiRi abruptly ended an interview after questions started to get too intense.

Expecting to comment on her acting role in Battleship, Rihanna was surprised when she was asked about recent rumours about herself and actor Ashton Kutcher, which was an unforeseen topic.

She exclaimed that it was “Very frustrating. Almost as frustrating as being asked about it.”
