Dear Editor,
Reports are that Gaza President, Vybz Kartel was a no show at an event for which he and members of his Portmore Empire were booked for on Saturday (12-12-09).
According to a YardFlex source based in Guyana, Vybz Kartel and The Portmore Empire were booked for a show in the territory on 12th December. However, members of the Empire arrived in Guyana, without their leader, Vybz Kartel.
Word around is that Di Teacha missed the flight with the other Empire artistes because of a prior commitment in Jamaica and was scheduled to come on a later flight.
However the artiste never arrived. The show had to be cancelled at the last minute leaving many at a loss and leaving thousands disappointed.
It is rumoured that Kartel received threats on his life, if he came to Guyana to perform, so he refused to board any flights out of Jamaica.
Up to late Saturday, it is alleged that arrangements were being made for a special charter flight with police escort to fly the artiste directly from Jamaica into Guyana, as he requested, since receiving the threats.
But he still bailed at the last minute.
The promoters are now calculating their huge loss, as the event had to be called off since the headline act whom many had wanted to see was a no-show.
Many have lost major funds due to these unforeseen circumstances and many have been left disappointed.
It was only last month that Vybz Kartel reportedly missed two flights to a show in another Caribbean island, resulting in the promoter having to send a private jet for him on the night of the event, at an additional cost of US$8,000.
