Hiccup for Beenie Man

DANCEHALL artiste Beenie Man’s performance on this evening BET’s 106 & Park will not happen. The Grammy-winning deejay was expected to perform Gunshot with hip-hop artiste Nicki Minaj.
The track is the first single on Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday and was recorded at Anchor Recording Studio in St Andrew a few weeks ago.
Beenie Man, whose real name is Moses Davis, is the holder of a valid United States visa. However, he has no work permit, which is needed for this evening’s performance.
The artiste’s publicist Claude Mills told the Jamaica Observer that the deejay has no intention of violating his visa, so he will miss the performance.
“If he had gone ahead and performed on 106 and Park, it would have been a clear violation of his visa,” Mills said.
He said Beenie Man had been invited some time ago by Minaj’s team to perform on the show with her. His management team agreed, not knowing it would have posed a problem.
According to Mills, on Sunday, a visa consultant advised them on the issue.
“Whenever you do a live performance on BET or MTV, you are paid a performance royalty and that would be deemed work,” the publicist explained.
106 & Park has been a strong promotional avenue for Jamaican artistes looking to break into the mainstream media. Had Beenie Man performed on the show today, it would have been his third appearance.
In April 2010, the visas of several highprofile dancehall artistes including Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and Mavado were cancelled by the United States. No reason was given for the cancellations. Beenie Man was reissued a visitor’s visa the summer of the same year.
Beenie Man is currently working on his new album.
“He will be dropping some hot tracks and he also has some international collabs lined up for the album,” Mills said.
He is enjoying fair amount of airplay with the single Wine Wine which features Boom.
In 2001, Beenie Man won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album with his effort Art and Life.
On Friday, the deejay will be in performance in Portland; two days later he will be in action at the Cran Wata Boston Jerk Festival. Easter Monday will see Beenie Man at the International Kite Festival in St Ann, then later on in the evening he is scheduled to perform in St Catherine at the Portmore Seafood Festival.

DANHAI DAY II
Danhai has knack for beating the rap
published: Friday | May 9, 2008
Howard Campbell, Gleaner Writer
Danhai Williams approaches the Supreme Court in 2003 to answer fraud charges brought against him in the NHDC Operation PRIDE scandal. – File
IF DANHAI Williams ever decides to throw in the towel as a contractor and make a career change, he should consider following the path of Harry Houdini, the fabled illusionist regarded as the world’s greatest escape artiste.
Unlike Houdini, the 51-year-old Williams has never wriggled from handcuffs or sealed cages. But he certainly has a knack for beating the courts.
The latest in his line of ‘escapes’ came on April 28 in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court where all charges against him and six other persons, for allegedly defrauding the National Housing Development Corporation (NHDC) of $451 million, were dropped.
Walked free
Williams walked free after two Crown witnesses failed to show, bringing the curtains down on a trial which began in October 2005. Williams had been charged with 87 counts of fraud two years earlier.
Williams seemed to revel in court appearances. His flamboyant outfits were complemented by flashy SUVs and the presence of his girlfriend, former Dancehall Queen Carlene Smith.
His lawyer, Valerie Neita-Robertson, described Williams as a hard worker and cool customer.
“He’s always smiling, he always looks on the bright side of life,” she said.
Professionally, Williams is listed as a director of Danwill Construction Limited, but he is best known by his unofficial title of ‘PNP activist’. That’s how then Opposition finance spokesperson Audley Shaw referred to him in November 2000 when he raised the issue of contracts awarded by the PNP Government to build low-income homes under its Operation PRIDE programme.
The NHDC affair smacked of cronyism; it got strong media play and forced the resignation of the then Housing Minister Karl Blythe. But, it certainly was not the most sensational court drama Williams was involved in. That came during the trial of six policemen involved in the deaths of four people at a house in Kraal, Clarendon, in May 2003.
The prosecution said that Williams told the police in July 2003 that he had arranged for Senior Superintendent of Police Reneto Adams to get a gun, which the prosecution claimed Adams had planted at the crime scene.
Adams had led the police party to Kraal.
Despite being called to testify, Williams never appeared at the trial. His lawyer said his client would be forced to lie if he had testified.
Privilege
Kent Pantry, who was then director of public prosecutions, said his office had given Williams immunity to testify. His failure to appear in court, Pantry explained, meant that privilege had lapsed.
The policemen were acquitted of murder charges in December 2005.
As the Kraal trial wound down, Williams was being sought by police for another no-show. The Rollington Town police said he breached terms of his $10-million bail in the NHDC case by not reporting to them twice weekly. He was fined $200,000 for that indiscretion.
Williams was in the news again in November 2006 when he and three men were arrested and jailed by police for allegedly inciting violence throughout the east Kingston community of Rockfort.
They were freed without being charged after four days in custody.
Ironically, Moby Dick Restaurant in downtown Kingston has succeeded where the police and government have failed – that is, beat Danhai Williams in court.
In March 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that Danwill Construction Limited should pay the popular eatery $1.3 million plus interest for failing to fork over funds owed for food and refreshments it provided at the opening of an Operation PRIDE scheme at Riverton Mews in November 2001.
Correction & Clarification
The Gleaner of May 9, 2008 under the headline, ‘Danhai has knack for beating the rap’ stated that Danhai Williams was fined $200,000 for breaching the terms of his $10-million bail in the NHDC fraud case.
Williams was, in fact, never fined $200,000 for any indiscretion but was offered bail in the sum of $200,000 when a warrant of arrest for breach of the terms and conditions of his bail came up for hearing in December 2005. We unconditionally withdraw any suggestion or implication that Williams was ever convicted and fined for breach of the terms and conditions of his bail. We regret the error and any inconvenience caused.
