The Half Moon hotel in Montego Bay has hit back at Dancehall entertainer Popcaan following a social media rant earlier last Saturday.
The “Firm and Strong” deejay took to Instagram over the weekend blasting the Montego Bay resort for allegedly denying him entry to the property despite him paying for a seven-bedroom villa.
“Half Moon unuh collect mi money off mi US card fi book villa. Now, mi book villa and pull up a di villa and unuh a tell people seh nuh let in Popcaan and unuh know Popcaan. Mi nuh haffi fahwud ova unuh villa, unuh stinking villa, because it not even clean. A ole house dem deh unuh have,” the deejay said.
However, the hotel has since responded to the deejay’s claims saying he was only denied entry after showing up to the resort with an entourage of approximately 40 persons expecting to stay in a villa built to accommodate no more than 16 people.
A spokesperson for the resort claims it was then suggested to the entertainer that he booked another villa to accommodate the additional persons, however, he was not having it and stormed off the property.
The hotel went on to say that there are clear guidelines and policies which reservations must adhere to, which the deejay is quite aware of as he has stayed at the resort on numerous occasions.
The incident follows the deejay’s fine performance on Night One of Reggae Sumfest, which was held at the Cathrine Hall entertainment complex in Montego Bay.
