2008-02-12 13:34:00
..."TELL DEM NUH BADDA TRY"...Vybz Kartel and Aidonia were questioned by investigators of Operation Kingfish in the presence of their lawyer Valerie Neita-Robertson, who was representing both artistes. Last week Tuesday, Operation Kingfish had announced that they wanted to question both deejays with regard to a photo that showed them posing with high-powered weapons. However, the deejays' lawyer Mrs. Neita-Robertson has questioned the authenticity of the photos and suggested that the photos were even taken outside of the jurisdiction of Jamaica. Aidonia and Vybz Kartel were released just hours after a grueling three-hour interrogation by Operation Kingfish investigators, without any formal charges being laid against them. Top-notch Attorney-at-law Valerie Neita-Roberston said that the cops were satisfied that the pictures had been taken backstage at a stage show overseas and that the guns "were video props". The artistes were wanted by the Operation Kingfish officers after they ...

Just yesterday a rumor broke about a tourist who had been ripped off by a popular deejay while on the island looking to do some investing. According to the rumor the tourist/ investor had been allegedly swindled out of millions of dollars and personal effects by the deejay after the two became close friends over time.

The judge who threw Foxy Brown behind bars today (January 17) responded to the rapper?s recent appeal to have her sentence amended and be freed from jail because of her worsening hearing impairment.
