According to his manager, Squash has been losing out on millions of dollars due to canceled bookings caused by police interference.
Manager of the 6ixx team, ‘Heavy D’ says he has had to be consistently making refunds to promoters who book the artiste, as a result of the police obstructing him from performing at certain events on the island.
Last month Montego Bay-based promoters and lawyers complained bitterly to Minister of National Security, Dr. Horace Chang, that the police in Montego Bay have been unlawfully targeting Squash by barring him and several other regional artistes from performing in the four parishes in Western Jamaica.
The concerns were raised during a meeting staged by the Minister in Montego Bay ahead of the imminent amendment of Jamaica’s Noise Abatement Act.
One of the attorneys had told the Minister that promoters have complained that the police have told them that if her clients are billed for any shows in Western Jamaica, they would not be given event permits.
In response, Dr. Chang had said no law prohibits persons who have been arrested in the past, from performing.
