Rumour dem spreading.

[Assasin]

Queen Ifrica and her management team has expressed shock and disappointment at the ensuing brouhaha arising from certain aspects of her performance at the Jamaica’s Independence Grand Gala [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]celebrations[/COLOR][/COLOR] on August 6, 2013.

The artiste is appalled and disappointed with the way in which the propaganda machinery is leading the public to believe that she is against any person or group of persons and refutes the claim that her work permit has been withdrawn by the Canadian Government contrary to statements made to that effect by prominent media houses in Jamaica.

Her management team wants to make it clear that work permits for Queen Ifrica has not been withdrawn by the Canadian Government.

Queen Ifrica expresses that while she remains grounded in her morals which espouses heterosexuality, she wants to make it abundantly and emphatically clear, that she does not condone nor has ever supported or advocated violence against any group or community, whether implicitly or explicitly.

This she asserts, goes against the very grain of her Rastafarian conviction.

The LGBT must decide whether the rights that they claim for themselves are not rights for everyone i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of choice and the right to live in peace.

"..the way.."
Very good management team,albeit the sentiment -expressed in the above quotation was at the very least- vague-and unnecessary.She has something against a person or group denying her right to free speech.More than one way to skin a cat(well so I am told).
Maybe the team thought it would be best...,but it sticks out like a sore thumb largely because of a more definitive word(refutes)used to convey the second thought in the sentence.Also,expressing two different issues in one sentence lessens the impact of one(in this case the first).Nevertheless the one in question was really unnecessary.
Other than that oversight-it was a fantastic response.

If this is correct, Jamaican news media needs to get their facts straight.

[Assasin]

Are they just following people with an agenda?

Again I stand firm, What Queen Ifrica at the stadium maybe in bad taste but not anything to pull a work permit for. We need to be careful that people with agenda don't just shout loud and condemn us just because they hve the mic.

[Hortical]

Well, did she perform on Saturday night? Toronto massive???

[Islandman]

Seems as if the promoters decided to drop her from the lineup.

[Hortical]

Yeah, just read on fb that she didn't perform.

[Assasin]

yes she was pulled from the show. I don't expect government to act like interest groups.

[Hortical]

I would be shocked if the gov't played a role. Dem pressure the promoter and him get scared.

[Assasin]

yes that is what happen. If the govt had pulled her work permit, that would be something different. I can understand some promoter don't want the controversy.
