"Irrespective of whether he is innocent or not he has served his sentence and he is an inspirational figure for young people. International reggae star Siccature Alcock popularly known as Jah Cure has been banned from Britain . British Home Office officials are understood to have barred Jah Cure from entering the UK as his presence would not 'be conducive to the public good'.

Yea, Macka is without doubt, HOTTT!!!, but it does not stop there, because after all that, Macka is at it again, this time creating HISTORY, or is it, HER-STORY, by becoming the FIRST Jamaican entertainer (male or female) to ever write and release a full length novel, which for the record, already has everybody talking. Yes, BUN HIM!!!!

Jamaica?s FIRST Dancehall Best Seller, ?Bun Him!!!? By Macka Diamond,
2007-09-27 20:43:00
"This book is not about glorifying bun, but it is just showing the facts that can happen in certain situations." said Macka Diamond at the launch of the novel Monday night at Weekendz. Macka Diamond's book Bun Him!!! embraces the same name as her chart-topping dancehall tune. But the female deejay is quick to point out that the novel is not promoting sexual infidelity. "When I am on stage and performing I am a different person and get into character, but this is different and very dear to me," she stated before thanking her publishing company, Page-Turner, which, she said, sent her back to the drawing board on many occasions to ensure that the book was of top-notch calibre. Bun Him!!!, described as Jamaica 's first dancehall novel, examines the pitfalls of infidelity, much like the recording, by Macka Diamond and male deejay Blacker, which utilises humour and street jargon to get the message across. The colloquial use of the word 'Bun' refers to the act of cheating on one's s...

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The MOBOs had applied for work permits for all the acts performing on the night but they had not applied for one for Shaggy. I think it might be an oversight. "Organisers were left scrambling around trying to sort out the glitch. It's the last thing they need. If Shaggy hasn't got a valid work visa then it's up to the Government to deal with it. It could get to the stage where the Home Office says he is not allowed to present at all." However, all was worked out and Shaggy was able to keep his gig as MC for the night?s proceedings. Last month, Shaggy revealed his excitement at presenting t...
