The Tropixs (Kingston, Jamaica) – Mr. Vegas has vowed to never perform in the Bahamas again.
The controversial Dancehall artiste says he made the decision after hearing numerous voice notes and seeing several disturbing videos of Bahamians calling for Haitians living within the Bahamian archipelago to be killed.
According to the “Gyalist” deejay, he is disturbed by the treatment of our Haitian brothers and sisters in the Bahamas following the passing of hurricane Dorian, which devastated the Caribbean islands.
The veteran Dancehall artiste went on to reveal that he has been subjected to a barrage of vitriolic comments from some Bahamians over his stance on the Haitian matter.
“Mi see all one a di radio station a call mi ‘cunny’ and all a dese things. Das why mi a tell oonu seh, mi naw perform inna di Bahamas again. No matta if onu waa seh oonu neva want mi deh, or mi career done or whateva oonu want to seh. My career can’t done; my career just a start, becaw people still a say ‘Heads High’,” Vegas declared.
The deejay also commented on a post by a Jamaican man living in the Bahamas who claims he had come under intense scrutiny from nationals after commenting on the treatment of Haitians post Dorian.
“I can see that the brother is under some form of duress. I see some people commenting that dem mus send him a him yard. Bredrin, if dem waa sen yo a yo yard, come a yo yard. Wi can mek ends meet bredda. Mi a tell yo dat 100 percent. Opportunities deh yah. Come a yo yard. Mi know yuh have yo family dem a Bahamas, but come a yo yard. No stay a no people place mek dem wak pon yo bredda,” the artiste urged.
“These voice notes are no simple thing like how people want to just brush it under the carpet as some crazy people sayin these things. It took one woman to burn down Black Wall Street. One woman told a lie on a brother and they burnt down Black Wall Street. So if we were not speaking out now, we don’t know what would have happened to the Haitians. Maybe people would have been chopping them up now,” Vegas added.
