News: Release the Tapes

ARTISTES, INCLUDING DYCR, have expressed their concerns about sex tapes that were allegedly found in the home of Ambassador Peter King after his death. The 'sex tapes', which are said to feature men performing homosexual acts, have become a major source of interest for the public. However, what has become a public phenomenon also has implications for local entertainers. It has been rumoured that some local entertainers have starring roles and have made cameo appearances.

Some of the artistes with whom THE STAR spoke have expressed disappointment that such an accusation is being made against members of the entertainment fraternity. According to them the 'sex tape' scandal reflects negatively on the entire entertainment fraternity and what they stand for.

"As one within the whole music fraternity, is not really a good sound dat, yuh don't know who is who, it hard fi one come out an portray seh dem a gallis an end up pon di tape, wi nuh rate dat an that's why wi a seh leggo di tape," DYCR said.
