Shaggy who was scheduled to bring the curtains down, however,
what would transpire would cast a shadow, if only for a moment,
on an excellent evening of entertainment for a great cause. Having
introduced Mavado, who was supposed to make a pledge, the Gully
God then called on his 'father', Bounty Killer.

Bounty Killer then entered the stage to a cheers from the crowd.
Those cheers would easily die away and make for a moment of relative
silence and a few dropped jaws as the deejay came out blaring, "batyman
and battyman we nuh waa dem aroun mi " part of the chorus to his 1997 hit,
Eagle And Di Hawk on the Showtime Riddim. "Sorry but me haffi talk," he
then said before continuing, "nuff a dem a battyman dats why dem nuh
have nuh pickney ..." Wrong move, The concert would come to an abrupt
end when Killer made statements alluding to homosexuals.

Bounty Killer was able to salvage an applause after continuing on Mavado's
pledge to donate $250,000. His actions are, however, believed to have cause
a rather premature end to the event. As an obviously upset Shaggy
uncharacteristically left the stage without saying thanks to those who had
come out to suppost the cause.

Bounty Killer has apologised for his "behaviour" at the Shaggy and Friends
charity event which took place on the lawns of Jamaica House on Saturday.
Bounty killer stated "With so many politicians and members of the upper
management of corporate Jamaica present, an audience I rarely get the
ears of, I got caught up in the moment while expressing myself."

"I've learnt to choose my battles wisely and the grounds
upon which to fight them. I've also learnt when to admit I didn't choose my
ground wisely and Saturday night's Shaggy & Friends' show was one of those
occasions. I now realise it was inappropriate and extend my apologies to
Shaggy, his sponsors, benefactors and all in attendance who were offended
by my performance. Alliance made a pledge to donate $250,000 to the cause
and we will follow through on that promise and continue to support Shaggy
and answer his call whenever he reaches out"
