"Although I knew it was a fitness-themed event, I did not anticipate that the warm-up segment would be so intense,". Macka Diamond was among over 200 fitness enthusiasts who turned out early at the home of the media house at 7 North Street on Saturday morning, going against her normal routine, which includes stretches, a satisfying amount of cardio and her latest experiment, yoga.

Renowned psychologist Dr Leachim Semaj believes that although Jamaica popular music has long been nurtured by feuds, things can get out of hand if the artistes don't step in.
"The history of the music is always one against another from the days of Derrick Morgan and Prince Buster, then Super Cat and Ninja Man ... to the very popular clash between Gully (Mavado) and Gaza (Vybz Kartel), that took dancehall feuds to a special level because it was anchored on communities," he said.  Drake and Shenseea were recently spotted at a party in Turks and Caicos.The Jamaican singjay and the Canadian rapper were photographed and filmed at the event before leaving the club together. International music producer, Rvssian, was also on the scene.
 I'm actually writing to you in shock, pain, and with a broken heart. I've been with this girl for almost a year. I trusted and loved her so much that we agreed to start having unprotected sex. This girl cheated on me, Pastor, and on top of that she gave me an infection; possibly AIDS. I said possibly AIDS because I haven't had a check-up yet. It has been one week and one day since I had sex with her, and now I've started seeing symptoms of chlamydia.
 If it was left up to actress and broadcaster Rosie Murray, noted Jamaican folklorist Louise Bennett Coverley, popularly known as Miss Lou, would be named among Jamaica's national heroes.
Miss Lou, who would have turned 100 yesterday, is recognised as the first lady of Jamaican theatre, and her writing, poetry, radio broadcasts and performances, primarily with the National Pantomime, have become part of the nation's cultural history. As part of the centenary celebrations her main square in Gordon Town, St Andrew, is to be renamed Louise Bennett Square. Murray spoke with pride at her opportunity to share the stage with Miss Lou nearly 30 years ago, when the cultural icon returned to Jamaica for a special performance titled 'Miss Lou and Friends' held at the Little Theatre in St Andrew. She noted that evening cemented a long-standing admiration she had for Miss Lou who, for her, had long been championing the acceptance of Jamaican folk culture from as far back as the 1950s. That for Murray underpins her status and therefore makes her worthy of receiving the country's highest national honour.  A woman recently ended up in Dexta Daps' bed in his hotel room, and a video of her presence there has gone viral. But the ladies' favourite entertainer says he has no idea how she got there.
"Me affi bun out da girl deh, dat girl is a problem," the No Underwear singer said in an Instagram live post. "Me wake up to a video dis morning, me actually inna di bed and gyal a take one video a me," he said in one of the videos. "Me get a wicked set-up, mi nuh know how it happen, me still a try figure it out. Me still nuh know how she end up deh suh at that time. Yuh see however she get inna di room, somebody please figure it out and please prevent dem things yah from happening to the artiste dem," he said. Dexta Daps is considered by women to be one of the hottest in the business, and many fantasise about being with him, some going to great lengths to make this a reality. But he is not the first artiste to be pursued by his adoring fans in this manner  Alkaline is the latest dancehall artiste who has had his visa revoked. He joins fellow deejays who has had their visas revoked Beenie Man, Mavado and Bounty Killer.
It is reported that the move was made by the US immigration after he released a politically motivated track titled Save Yourself in which he addressed Jamaica and Caribbean nations, saying “You can’t change my pride,you can’t take my power.” Alkaline has since dismissed the act as a joke; however the United States Embassy in Kingston did not share his humour as his visa was subsequently revoked on May 13.  Republic Records says Drake’s Views sold 1.2 million copies worldwide in under six days. Republic also claims the album was streamed over 250 million times on Apple Music in the same time period. Over 200 million of those streams came from inside the United States.
Physical copies of Views will be available starting tomorrow (May 6) as well as digital downloads from retailers like iTunes. Streaming rights for the album will stay with Apple Music for another week; on May 13, Spotify and other streaming competitors will receive Views.
Youth and Culture Minister Lisa Hanna seems to be trying her very best to connect with today’s youths by delivering a positive message in a form that they can appreciate.This was evident from her recent instagram post where she quoted lyrics from the incarcerated Dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel. It can be said that Vybz is one of Jamaica’s most provocative and controversial artiste but during the course of his career he has managed to produce several positive songs filled with inspiration messages which includes“School”, which Minister Lisa Hanna decided to directly quote from.
 The police are reporting that they have begun a probe into the fatal shooting of a correctional officer on main street Bog Walk, St Catherine last night.The deceased has been identified as 22-year-old Roman Bent of Ackels district, Kitson Town, in the parish, and is said to have worked at the St Catherine Adult Correctional Facility.
Reports from the police are that about 10:00 pm, there was an altercation between Bent and two members of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) during which he was shot. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The police say that the matter has been reported to the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM). |
