Party-goers disrupt stage

Many of Adid­ja “Vy­bz Kar­tel” Palmer fans were sore­ly dis­ap­point­ed yes­ter­day when the dance­hall star failed to take the stage, so in­stead one woman took it up­on her­self to take the stage.

One so­cial me­dia video showed that while the stage was be­ing cleared, the woman dressed in a white romper and a red cloth over her head be­gan throw­ing speak­ers and oth­er equip­ment off the stage. Short­ly af­ter, what ap­peared to be stage se­cu­ri­ty tried to ap­pre­hend the woman, who then dropped to the ground. Sev­er­al at­ten­dees be­gan throw­ing cups and oth­er items at the stage, while the woman con­tin­ued her pa­rade on the stage.

As the show came to an end, the Guard and Emer­gency Branch in ri­ot gear was called in­to the venue, due to the ob­jects be­ing hurled on­to the stage by an­gry and dis­ap­point­ed at­ten­dees. Sev­er­al of the mem­bers of the Guard and Emer­gency Branch, were seen hit­ting an at­tendee dressed in red with their ba­tons.

An­oth­er video showed what seemed to be an at­tendee of the con­cert in one of the bar ar­eas, smash­ing bot­tles of drinks on the ground.

The star's ab­sence was at­trib­uted to the pro­mot­er’s al­leged fail­ure to pay his full US$1.35 mil­lion per­for­mance fee, al­though they in­sist­ed that US$950,000 had been de­liv­ered.

Sev­er­al so­cial me­dia videos cir­cu­lat­ing show the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah al­most emp­ty of sup­port­ers, pro­mot­ers and even per­form­ers. Per­form­ers such as Kalon­ji and Moliy pulled out of the shows line-up af­ter Kar­tel pulled out.

As more in­for­ma­tion comes to light, this sto­ry will be up­dat­ed.
