Aidonia, an admitted protégé of Vybz Kartel, a controversial figure who left the Bounty Killer-led Alliance late last year in an explosion of headlines, may now be joining his mentor – on the outside looking in -- at dancehall’s most powerful and controversial group of artistes.

Still, there is no truth to the rumours that both have started a new club called Life After the Alliance (LAA) in the wake of their decisions to leave the influential group.

Tensions had been heightened in the past two months, especially after the fisticuffs onstage between entourage members during Mavado’s cataclysmic birthday bash at the Arizon Inn in Portmore. Since that time, the relationship between Aidonia and Bounty Killer, Busy Signal and Mavado had been strained and it appears, despite the much-affected public displays of unity, the personal animosities between Aidonia and Busy Signal festered still.

The battle lines were drawn again with Aidonia’s insistence on performing the ‘December Deadline’ song, and the allegations by his entourage that a bottle-throwing incident at Spectrum 2007 was orchestrated by Alliance members.

“He didn’t get a memo or anything like that, he just got word from someone at Solid Agency that he was no longer welcome in the group,” Kirk Roberts told One876 Entertainment.com.

“I am not surprised, I saw it coming, based on what is going on, certain things look inevitable…ah just so it go,” Michael Lunan of Solid Agency said.

“If Aidonia say he’s out, he’s out, whatever him say, no body can force a man to be in something he doesn’t want to be in, I just hear on ER say he is not in the Alliance, he said that someone in Solid call him and say re-re, Aidonia is just a young artiste I rate, he is still my little artiste and I wish him the best same way, I hope it is the right decision, he is a good yute, but unfortunately, it had to end this way.”

Lunan said the Alliance will continue to strive as “Mavado's debut album Gangster For Life is coming out in March, while Busy Signal recently recorded a remix of Come Around with Collie Buddz”.

Busy Signal is reportedly working on his sophomore album for Japan's JVC label, which is expected out this summer.
