Mavado will be hosting his 'Real McKoy' birthday bash tonight with a rollicking session at Temple Hall Estate in St. Andrew. However, when the singer had attempted to host the birthday bash in Portmore last year, all hell broke loose in the wee hours as Kartel attempted to storm the stage, and a fist fight broke out onstage.
Here is an excerpt of a story written last year by entertainment writer Claude Mills:
"A fist fight broke out onstage during Mavado's Birthday Splash at Arizon Inn, Portmore this morning as members of Idonia and Kartel's entourage threw punches at other members of the Alliance.
Eyewitness reports say that the internal friction within The Alliance triggered a situation where the entertainers were at 'daggers drawn' and punches were thrown, while several patrons, their hearts pounding, ran helter-skelter all over the confines of the Arizon Inn, abruptly ending the event.
But for all the confusion, one thing was clear at 6:40 a.m. on December 3, 2006: deejay Vybz Kartel's association with the Alliance is all but over. All that is left are the ugly details.
Hope everything goes this year and that the Gangsta for Life makes a tonne load of dollars, counting gees and drinking Hennessey.
Needless to say the Alliance will be representing to the fullest, with the 5 Star General Bounty Killer leading the charge alongside Mavado himself, Busy Signal, Bling Dawg, Wayne Marshall, Serani, Bugle, Flex, Kibaki, Elephant Man, Einstein, Dada and more. A strong Rastafari contingent is lead by Jah Cure, Sizzla, Luton Fyah, Fanton Mojah, Pressure and Munga Honourebel. Alaine, Lady Saw, K Queens and Macka Diamond will be repping for the ladies and there will be a host of special surprise guests on the night.
Jamaica's top selectors and radio personalities will be providing the musical high; Tony Matterhorn, Fire Links, Stone Love, Raz n Biggy, Noah, ZJ Liquid, DJ Wayne, Jazzy T, Coppershot, Jigsy, Innocent and ZJ Ice.
