Rift between dancehall divas

In case U missed it

There is still a rift brewing between dancehall divas Macka Diamond and Lady Saw. According Macka Diamond, Lady Saw needs to stop advertising her Christianity and simply practise it.

She says that it’s a good thing that Lady Saw decided to trade in her dancehall lyrics for the word of God, however, instead of talking about church, she should try going there.

She believes that Lady saw should “go missing off the scene, and go deeper in her spirituality, so there is no need to advertise Christianity like is some form of promotion”.

Macka also stated that she is not convinced of Lady Saw’s Christian calling as she is still dominant in the dancehall scene performing songs.

She claims that if her former colleague was truly changed then she would have put grudges behind her and since she is yet to receive a call, then obviously she has no intention of settling disagreements.

Macka concludes: “If you are a Christian, dancehall is just not the place for you, but she is doing the same things she did before.”

Marley’s Mellow Mood not for children

Marley’s Mellow Mood, a relaxation drink named after the late reggae icon Bob Marley, has been reported to have unfavourable reactions on children. It was reported that several students at a New Jersey school got ill after drinking it.

The drink, which bears the face of the late Bob Marley, is promoted to reduce stress and support relaxation contains ingredients such as Valerian root. It has been labelled to cause drowsiness and was not intended for children. The drink, which was not cited on an approved list of beverages to be sold was, however, made available in a school’s cafeteria. Consequently, the drink has been removed and the manager was suspended.

MJ costumes auctioned for charity

Reports are pop icon Lady Gaga has bought 55 items at an auction of Michael Jackson costumes at a Los Angeles auction. Following this news, fans of the late artiste reacted angrily stating that the costumes should have been placed in a museum.

Gaga, however, reassured them that “the clothes would be archived and expertly cared for in the spirit and love of Michael Jackson, his bravery and fans worldwide”.

The auction included items such as the jacket worn during Jackson’s Bad tour, made by Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, two crystal gloves, jackets from the Dangerous and Thriller tours and a pair of jeans that went for $50,000.

Allegedly over $5 million was made from the sale, half of which was donated to a guide dogs charity and a hospice in Las Vegas.
