After talks that his United States work permit was denied, approaching his upcoming tour, and that he is at odds with his Downsound Records ‘boss’, Joe Bogdanovich (after their recent reunion), Fantan Mojah is denying all those rumours which he said has been plaguing his career.

Speaking with the STAR Mojah said, “Rasta nuh inna di passa passa suh wah dem a try put up pon dem website nuh really matter enuh because nutten nuh guh suh. Me as a man cyaan get involved inna family affairs. Joe’s family business cyaan mix up inna business. A music mi come ya fi do suh a dat mi a do!”

troubling

He continued, “People inna di streets a ask mi how mi sign to Downsound Records an dem nah hear nutten from mi but dem mus know that wi a do the work for Downsound and also for other productions out there.”

He went on to address another issue that has been troubling him for some time now.

“Dem a seh mi guh embassy wah day an dem revoke mi visa,” said Mojah.

He added that this was not the case saying, “Mi have a ten-year visiting visa for America. Mi three-year work permit up wah day yah and wi put it in back fi renewal. All a dat in the process wid the lawyers and everything. Mi woulden even think fi fly guh America guh work pon mi visiting visa. Dem gi mi a work permit to work on and mi nah guh be doing nuh shows without it or pon mi visiting visa.”

Mojah said he sees no reason why his visa would have been revoked.

“Mi is a good citizen of Jamaica that do good reggae music. Why America woulda waan deny mi a visa? I’m not a terrorist or anything. I’m abiding by the US law. Dem neva deny mi nuh permit,” he said.

visa revoked

When contacted, Bogdanovich shared similar comments saying, “I don’t know anything about his visa being revoked. From my knowledge it has expired and is being renewed.”

He went on to say that all is well in the Downsound Records camp and he is very pleased with the work that they have been doing, especially the crowd reception of their performances at the recent Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards (EME).

Fantan Mojah had recent performances at Follow Di Arrow and Spring Break which he said went extremely well and he has been extremely busy organising his Reggae In The Valley stage show set for this Saturday at the Appleton Sports Complex in St Elizabeth.

“The fans a tek to the music so big up all the disc jockeys and everyone who tek part inna mi career. Joe a di man, a him buss mi an mek people know bout mi,” laughed Mojah.
