“Kanye
is going around the world, and one of his workers is from Jamaica and she told
him that Jamaicans would like something like this. We were given the red carpet
by the Minster of Entertainment and Culture, and she moved heaven and earth to
make this happen,” said Jonathan Coleman, producer of the event.

Sumfest in 2004.
