Filed under: Reggae|Other

Julian Jones-Griffith, manager for dancehall ace Mavado, was robbed over the weekend of his cellular phone and laptop. Mavado, Stacious and Jones-Griffith were in Toronto last weekend for a number of appearances in the Ontario mecca. Rumours began surfacing on the Toronto Star website claiming Mavado was robbed outside a recording studio while on tour in Toronto, Canada.

Jones-Griffith, back in Jamaica after receiving his laptop and cellphone explained the incident in detail. Mavado's manager went on to say, "I didn't want to say what really happened until I got back my things. It was some little wannabe rapper dude who came to the studio to meet with Mavado and got upset when he walked in and didn't say hello to them. Then they wanted to meet me and came outside to the truck and were begging me to look on their website but I was working on my laptop so the dude got frustrated and started telling me we were in his city, and pop off a gun. He was like 'yo, I said log on to my website'. And I was like, 'wah kinda gunman this a stick me up fi look pon him website'."

According to Jones-Griffith he remained calm during the incident after which the culprits got upset and made off with his phone and laptop. Jones-Griffith said, "they felt punked and just wanted to prove a point but they got some phone calls from some associates of mine and returned the laptop and phones to a friend of mine. Anyway, a bait dem bait up demself because I ended up logging on to their website and lo and behold there were several photos of the dude who popped off the gun."
