Any hope that Dancehall superstar, Bounty Killer will perform at STING 2012 seems all but dashed after the ‘War Lord’ confirmed his intention to skip the popular stage show.
The Alliance leader, who initially was on theSTING lineup, declared that he would not perform at STING following comments made by the show’s lead promoter, Isaiah Laing in an interview, implying that ‘Gaza’ deejay and current rival, Tommy Lee Sparta had a good chance of defeating him in a clash.
Though speculation within Dancehall circles was rife that Bounty Killer was bluffing, the ‘Grung Gaad’ confirmed during a radio interview on Wednesday that he was serious. The iconic entertainer stated that his STINGdeposit was returned and the contract originally signed to do the show is now null and void.
Bounty also went on to say that Laing’s lack of professionalism and disrespect shown by the promoter led him to this decision.
This now puts to rest any possibility of a headline clash between Bounty Killer and Tommy Leeafter weeks of building up. The two deejays have been at odds ever since comments Bounty made via Twitter in which he questioned artistes who made demonic references in their songs. This later led Tommy Lee to record a scathing diss aimed in Bounty direction, called Goat Head, triggering a series of disses between the two.
The official launch of STING 2012 took place last night in Kingston, unveiling the official poster for the show. This year’s show will be held on December 26 (Boxing Day) at Jamworld in Portmore, St. Catherine and will feature high-profile acts such as Mavado, Popcaan, Aidonia, Sizzla, Khago, Ninja Man and Kiprich, amongst many others
