Bounty Killer apologizes to fans for his behaviour at Shaggy's charity concert.

I think he gets it now. You think he get it? No really, Bounty Killer- Hey! There's a time and place for everything dude!!! You don't go gay-bashing at a charity event, k! Ya, so he apparently had diarrhoea of the mouth at Shaggy's Dare to Care concert which had onlookers in shock. I guess he realized his error, or at least his representatives did, as this statement of apology was issued:



After nearly 20 years at the top of the Jamaican music industry I have been involved in many battles - sometimes with fellow artists, sometimes with outside forces and sometimes with the state and its politicians. I've learnt to choose my battles wisely and the grounds upon which to fight them.


I've also learnt when to admit I didnt choose my ground wisely and Saturday night's Shaggy & Friends' show was one of those occasions. With so many politicians and members of the upper echelons of corporate Jamaica present, an audience I rarely get the ears of, I got caught up in the moment while expressing myself. I now realise it was inappropriate and extend my apologies to Shaggy, his sponsors, benefactors and all in attendance who were offended by my performance.Alliance made a pledge to donate $250,000 to the cause and we will follow through on that promise and continue to support Shaggy and answer his call whenever he reaches out.

Shaggy and Friends: I Dare You-The Caring Continues

The Shaggy Make A Difference Foundation hopes to raise 50 Million Dollars for the Bustamante Children's Hospital at their I Dare You concert series this Saturday on the lawns of Jamaica House.




Through last year's concert, The Shaggy Make A Difference Foundation was able to raise and purchase over $20 million Jamaican dollars worth of equipment for the Bustamante Hospital for Children (the only such facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. The funds were able to purchase an ENT (ear, nose, throat) microscope, Vital Signs Monitors, Volumetric Pumps, four stretchers and a Blood Warmer.
