JAMAICAN entertainer Michael Davey, better known as Powerman, and his landlord 47-year-old musician Nicholas Henry, are to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on January 25.

The landlord is accused of assaulting the artiste with a piece of iron.

When the matter came up yesterday in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court, it was rescheduled by Resident Magistrate Lorna Shelly Williams for a mention date in January, in order for Henry’s lawyer to be present in court.

Allegations are that on September 2, about 9:30 pm, the artiste, who had just returned from overseas, was confronted by Henry who told him that the rent was not enough to cover the water bills.

A dispute reportedly ensued in which Henry told Davey, “Yuh deh a foreign a call man crackhead, me no tell you say when you come a Jamaica me ago crack yuh head.”

It is alleged that Henry used a piece of iron pipe to hit the entertainer on the forehead causing a cut. Powerman was also allegedly hit on the hand. It is further reported that the artiste was prevented from retaliating.

Davey reported the matter to the police and Henry was arrested and charged with unlawful wounding.

According to Powerman, while he was away his landlord had contacted him about rent, behaving boisterously and threatening to assault him.

Henry’s station bail was extended for him to return to court next year January.

Powerman is known for 90s hit songs as Slim and Trim, Serious Tings, and Miss Kill and Bury.
