With Ninja Man now behind bars and facing a similar fate as Vybz Kartel, Dancehall fans are holding Isaiah Laing responsible.
The Don Gorgon was remanded into police custody last month after a high court judge ordered that the murder trial involving the entertainer finally begin after eight years of delays.
After news broke several Dancehall fans took to social media blaming Sting promoter Isaiah Laing for Ninja’s lockup. “So as soon as around the time for Sting Ninja Man is suddenly in jail, seems a bit suspect to me,” one fan wrote online. “Ninja Man is going to get the same fate as Vybz Kartel cuz Laing naan play. Them say a Kartel and Ninja Man mashup Sting and now the two a them ago go prison. Free up Ninja and free up Worl’Boss #oppression,” another added.
Ninja Man took a few shots at Isaiah Laing back in 2014 while performing at GT Taylor’s Christmas Extravaganza, “You Mr. Isaiah Laing wid yo pop down show when yo a do your talent search fi find artist to come a war,” he said. “If GT never put that sign up here I would have send you far far up under your (oh god).”
Vybz Kartel also had the same issue with Laing in 2010 and was slapped with two murder charges a few months later.
Last year Ninja Man posted a video on social media warning his fans that he could get the same fate as Vybz Kartel because of his fallout with the popular promoter. “Everybody that decided not to do Mr. Laing show or not to work with him, he has his own system where he will put you in prison or send you to jail,” Ninja Man said. “Same way with Vybz Kartel who stopped worked with him and they never stopped fighting him until he ended up in jail. Mr. Laing will do anything in his power to tear down an artist that don’t want to work with him. So people can look out for anything to happen with my case because they are planning a whole lot of things. My case should have finished a long time ago, but because they want to have it over my head.”
