Dancehall deejay Assassin and famed music video director Julia Braham are at odds regarding a video shoot gone bad.

According to reports Assassin's management and Ms. Braham had a verbal agreement to shoot the video for the song 'Don't Mek Mi Hold Yuh'. She was paid some moneys for the project and the shoot went according to plan, but the same can't be said for the editing session. It seems that the hard drive containing the footage from the shoot was accidentally drop by her editor during the editing session, and hence the drive became dysfunctional.

She said the mishap was conveyed to Assassin and his management team and an agreement was reached to do another shoot but this time it would be for the 'Money Machine' song featuring Sakidi. The new arrangement was that she would shoot the new video for free, with provisions in place to pay any excess that may occur (if the new video cost more that the previous one she would be paid the residual amounts)

Even though the agreement was reached there was still no a formal written contract in place but Assassin's Brother/Manager Garath Campbell gave the nod of approval.

Braham said after the new video was shot and edited she had adviced her editor not to hand over the finish product to Assassin's team until the excess was paid, unfortunately those instructions were not followed and now she has been put in a compromising position with a lot of her workers some of whom have threatened her if the relevant payments are not forthcoming.

Assassin's manager in response to Julia's claims had this to say,

"Ms. Braham was granted a huge favour has we could have taken our business elsewhere after her earlier mishaps, we did spend an additional $200,000 out of pocket and so I cannot understand how we are still indebted to her, as even the damaged drive which was shipped to Connecticut for recovery is being paid for by us, Julia is unprofessional, as one could see, she never even had a backup of the data, she threatened to hit me in my face if the additional moneys were not paid to her, and now that the project is complete all i have to say is she is on her own".
