Unaware that there was an outstanding financial issue, Busy
Signal traveled to the twin republic of Trinidad & Tobago to perform at TAO
(Together As One) at Queen’s Park in Port of Spain for which he was billed as
the headlining artist. Prior to arriving
at the venue, the artist was arrested at his hotel, and appeared in court
alongside attorney Fareed Ali.
The information presented in court made it clear that
Jukeboxx Productions entered in to an agreement with Peppers Entertainment for
Busy Signal to perform at the scheduled event.
The event was subsequently canceled so Busy Signal, real name Reanno
Gordon, and his new management team, agreed to refund the promoter $15,000 USD,
in addition to payment made when the show was initially cancelled.
Of the situation Galey Gordon, Busy’s Manager, said “The
advance payment of $37,088 USD was not disclosed to us [Turf Music
Entertainment] by former management who entered in to business affairs on Busy’s
behalf. We had no material knowledge
whatsoever of this apparent infraction.
If we had, we would have acted to resolve the issue prior to coming to
Trinidad.”
Turf Music Entertainment is currently requesting a copy of
the original agreement between Jukeboxx Productions and Peppers Entertainment
as well as transaction records between both parties regarding the event.
After reaching a mutual resolve, Busy Signal performed to an
eager crowd at Queen’s Park, closing the show.
The artist is enjoying international success with his singles “What If”
and “Text Message.”
