Wildfire Productions, which organised the recent Ignition Concert has disassociated itself from any calls for violence made by the artistes or the DJ during the event.
In a press release issued on Thursday, the company said it was committed to bringing great entertainment to Guyana as entertainment was its business and not the promotion of violence.
“We can assure the general public that we do not believe in promoting violence of any kind and we strongly [condemn] it. We apologize if anyone was offended by any statements made by the artists or DJ’s hired to entertain at our Ignition Concert,” the statement said.
Stabroek News, in its Monday edition this week, reported on gunfire at the show, the vicious campaign against gays and the promotion of gun violence by the controversial Bounty Killer and a call by the DJ for “bad men from Buxton and Agricola to represent as the Five Star General (Bounty Killer) was about to ignite the concert”. The article had caused some tempers in the Wildfire Camp to flare and it was labelled as “inaccurate”.
