(Jamaica Gleaner) Dancehall artiste Carlton ‘Spragga Benz’ Grant is claiming to be a victim of a conspiracy to smear his reputation.
Grant, who has been named by the police as a person of interest arising out of a triple murder in McIntyre Villa, east Kingston, last Saturday, said on Monday on his Twitter page that he was being set up. “All this slander and defamation and sensationalisation, even though they know I am not around and lawyers already contacted them … . What a set up!” he told fans on the social-networking site.
On the night of the triple murder, the artiste was scheduled to perform at the Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, Colorado, with reggae star Stephen Marley and his Ghetto Youths crew.
“I have been abroad on my business and these people find me interesting … they should’ve been at the concert. Leave me out unoo madness,” he wrote Sunday.
