Iwer George: Yellow is the code

“Yel­low is the code!”

That was so­ca star Neil “Iw­er” George’s re­sponse to Guardian Me­dia’s point­ed ques­tion on if he is sup­port­ing the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) and Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar in the up­com­ing gen­er­al elec­tion.

“Iw­er” shocked many last evening at a UNC po­lit­i­cal meet­ing at the La Joya Sport­ing Com­plex when he ap­peared on stage at the end of the night’s pro­ceed­ings to ser­e­nade Per­sad-Bisses­sar as the par­ty cel­e­brat­ed her birth­day.

The so­ca artiste told Per­sad-Bisses­sar he had two gifts for her. One was a bou­quet of flow­ers and the oth­er was when he took off his jack­et to re­veal a navy-blue UNC t-shirt.

A move that sent the crowd in­to rap­tur­ous ap­plause.

He then broke in­to a ren­di­tion of his hit song “Wa­ter” how­ev­er he changed the lyrics to say, “PNM on fire, Stu­art Young on fire, the peo­ple want Kam­la!”

Guardian Me­dia sought to con­firm with “Iw­er” to­day if in fact that was a gen­uine en­dorse­ment of Per­sad-Bisses­sar and the UNC to which he said, “Was I wear­ing a UNC t-shirt? So then that speaks for it­self. I took off my shirt, I was wear­ing a UNC t-shirt, I told the la­dy I have two presents. I brought a bou­quet then I took off my t-shirt and had on a UNC t-shirt, you think I still have to an­swer if that is an en­dorse­ment?”

He added, “all the ev­i­dence is in front of you.”

Guardian Me­dia un­der­scored that some en­ter­tain­ers would say that when paid to per­form at a po­lit­i­cal par­ty’s event it may not mean they sup­port the par­ty.

“Iw­er” re­spond­ed, “I wouldn’t say that.”
