No Beenie Causes Bottles Fly at Portland Jerk Fest
07 Jul 2008 | by Phlex, Staff Writer
Bottles blotted out the moon during the Portland Jerk Festival when irate patrons exploded in rage when main headliner Beenie Man failed to appear. One876entertainment understands that the deejay lost his passport and will have to acquire what they call an 'emergency passport' so that he can return home today or Tuesday.
"We tried to get him to talk to the audience, he wanted to explain to his fans why he wasn't there. We spoke to the person who booked the show, head of the marketing department of Pepsi, we tried to set it up to address the audience but it wasn't possible, so we're sorry about what eventually happened," Tameka Reynolds of Free People Entertainment, who are handling Beenie Man's bookings, said.
"We tried to contact them very early in the day but they failed to answer the phone, and when we finally got to them, I guess they were not able to appease the audience."
