On Monday, March 23, 2009, attorneys representing Hits & Jams Entertainment and promoters Kerwin Bollers, Rawle Ferguson and Dwith Ferguson, filed a lawsuit In The Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit In and For Broward County, Florida, against Hip-Hop Superstar T-Pain, Nappy Boy Touring, LLC, f/s/o Faheem Najm p/k/a T-Pain, Chase Entertainment, LLC and Dave Abram, for breach of the written contract, Libel, Defamation and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.T-Pain was scheduled to perform at the Georgetown Cricket Club in Georgetown, Guyana on February 23, 2009, but canceled the event after what his camp described as “credible kidnapping and death threats” against T-Pain’s life. Despite several requests, T-Pain and his management team refused to provide the source of the alleged threats to the promoters and their attorney, law enforcement, the FBI and the U.S. Consulate in Guyana to facilitate an investigation into the alleged threats.
T-Pain and his management team merely advised the promoters and their attorney that the threats came from “a credible source that T-Pain’s camp trusted,” and “who they have been dealing with in Guyana,” and that “T-Pain has dealt with the source in the past.”
After T-Pain canceled the Guyana show, several false and untrue reports in the international media attributed the cancellation of T-Pain’s appearance at the Georgetown, Guyana show to the promoters, Hits and Jams Entertainment. The press releases also falsely attributed personal knowledge of the alleged telephone and e-mail threats to the promoters. The promoters do not possess any personal knowledge of the alleged threat or the credibility of the alleged threats.
So much for the H&J team and their promises. We've just caught wind that T-pain will no longer be in Guyana for the mash mega concert.Here's how the Hits and Jams team are reporting it to us:
We the H&J teams would like to notify the general pubic that t-pain will no longer be coming to Guyana due to treats made to him (T-pain) by some local promoters right here in Guyana... said Mr. Kerwin Bowlers head promoter of the H&J team.
We are still trying to get more on this story. STAY TUNED !!!
**Update** The word on the street is, instead of T-Pain there is gonna be a line-up of about 6 artistes spread across the genres of reggae, soca and dancehall. So those of you still contemplating buying your tickets that's something you might wanna consider...we'll bring to you more updates as the story develops....
