News out of Jamaica is that the Jamaican Police have banned the proposed street dances in Majesty "Back To" Gardens named after popular entertainers Bounty Killer and Beenie Man because it "is going to cause conflict and we have to step on conflict because conflict leads to crime." For now no more Bounty Sundays, and Beenie Tuesdays will never start.

Bounty KillerThe dances were proposed to be held in Majesty Gardens, affectionately known as "Back To", aptly described by Junior Gong Marley in his smash hit, "Welcome To Jamrock". In the tune Junior Gong states that thugs will do what have to, and won't think twice to shot you when dealing with Back To.

The police do not want that to occur especially since Beenie Man and Bounty Killer have been staunch arch rivals since 19-how long. Deputy Superintendent Michael Phipps is in agreement stating, "Beenie and Bounty are not friends so anywhere you have both of them there is going to be friction."

Beenie Man in his response intends to visit the police along with his lawyer, while Bounty Killer has so been unavailable for comment on the matter.
