Bounty Killer, the Alliance leader, who initially was on the STING lineup, declared that he would not perform at STING following ‘disrespectful’ comments made by the show’s lead promoter, Isaiah Laing in an interview, implying that ‘Gaza’ deejay and current rival, Tommy Lee Sparta had a good chance of defeating him in a clash.
Though speculation within Dancehall circles was rife that Bounty Killer was bluffing, the ‘Grung Gaad’ confirmed during a radio interview on Wednesday that he was serious. The iconic entertainer stated that his STING deposit was returned a week and half ago and the contract originally signed to do the show is now null and void.
“I’ve said it previously that I’m not gonna do STING because of certain insults that were thrown at me. To this day, nothing has been reconciled,” he said.
This now puts to rest any possibility of a headline clash between Bounty Killer and Tommy Lee after weeks of building up. The two deejays have been at odds ever since comments Bounty made via Twitter in which he questioned artistes who made demonic references in their songs. This later led Tommy Lee to record a scathing diss aimed in Bounty direction, called Goat Head, triggering a series of disses between the two.
Bounty Killer said that he’s not interested in a clash with Tommy Lee because he’s ‘bigger than that.’
“I’m not interested, I’m not interested in clashing with no little insect artiste,” he said.”That’s where them trying to take it and I’m bigger than that.”
