A nasty big of schadenfreude is playing itself out in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands regarding Serani being robbed. Some residents are actually celebrating the singer's misfortune, one post on an Internet website gleefully sang: "Everywhere I go, they ROB me-ee--eee".
One teenager sent out an email which was forwarded to one876 that spoke about the anticipation that accompanied the initial concert that Serani was supposed to attend but failed to show angering his fans.
"Time went on and a rumor of Serani not coming to the concert started to surface in the club. Obviously thismade people mad. With ticket prices at $30 for advanced tickets, more at the door, and $50 for limited VIP tickets, people were not trying to believe he wasn't coming. Finally around 3 a.m. is when a representative of Daseca (serani's peepz) came on stage to confirm that the rumor was true. He claimed that the reason Serani was not coming was because he missed his plane from Jamaica to St. Croix. This mad me vex! How could you have people waiting for this man for a couple hours while being subjected to all kinds of foolishness? They brought on another local artists named Pumpa to keep the concert going, but not even the VI Energy God could satisfy angered Serani fans.
In St. Croix, what we were given at that Serani "concert" was a jam (a local party) and was worth nothing more than $10 in my opinion. Then to top it off, the Daseca Rep. had the nerve to tell us "Keep your wristbands, when Serani comes he is going to give you a free show. "HOW CAN YOU GIVE US A FREE SHOW WHEN WE PAID $30 & $50 FOR IT?!!!" That made people even more vexed. With all of that said some people stayed out and partied while the others (including myself, my bro, & his friend) left disappointed.
Serani was going to get "Stinkin Rich" alright, stinkin rich of the money of the VI people that came out to see him!
Serani's reps kept their word and arranged with the promoter Ayinde Gomez to have another show on Sunday, January 4th, where "Serani would perform for free at the Festival Village for the general public... while those who held on to their VIP wristbands would enter for free on Monday, Jan. 5th for Daddy Jones and Pumpa alongside Dog Heart and Avalanche in Club Flava. The promoter said that Serani missed his plane twice in a note on Facebook.
One anrgy VI teen wrote in the widely disseminated email that said:
"Missed his plane twice? Yuh to lie! How do you miss your plane twice? No Green Card? No work Visa? Or did he just NOT want to come? The people want to know.
Anyway, Serani did come to the Festival village. The DJs were actually saying "People get ready for Serani! He's coming up!" This was the last day of Village and it was packed. I believe the fact that Serani was going to be there brought more people out.
Serani came on the stage about 11 p.m. He was there for a while "hyping up" the crowd. During his performance he sang about a half of each song. His attitude was terrible. You could tell he was only performing because he had to. When he wanted the DJ to stop halfway through the song he would like fling his arm. When the DJ messed up (which was a couple times) he turned around with an angry look on his face, at one point he even told the audience to kill the DJ not him.
It even seemed like he talked more than he sang. At one point while he was talking he said, "all man dat does hit woman, dem is faggit!" He also said, "You see me, I'm Serani. And no bad man can do me nuttin', and no gun man can do me NUTTIN!" Hello buddy this is a family show! He even practically embarra**ed this one girl on the mic by telling her when she asked him to sing a certain song, "it is not your time, when your time come you will know." Rudeness!
Overall that little make-up performance wasn't good at all. What's up with that? He was on the stage for about a 30 minutes and with an attitude. He looked bad, talked too much, had a stinking attitude, didn't sing a reasonable amount of any of his songs, and then ended and left the stage. When he was done it was about 11:30 p.m. and had people wondering if that was it? He was there to do a free show and he *u*ked. Shame on Serani. He didn't even sign autographs or anything, just left in a vehicle that was waiting for him. That man didn't even say goodnight or thanks for coming out. Terrible!! No manners! I don't know about everyone else but I WANT MY $30 BACK!
It was then said that later that night the promoter dropped Serani and a member of his entourage outside of their hotel and left them at the curbside without escorting them into the building. Well it has been reported that they were held up and robbed of money and jewelry. Not to sound mean but...OH WELL SERANI! SOMEBODY ELSE IS STINKIN RICH! I still like your music, just won't go to anymore of your shows! The promoters did try after this disaster at the village to give people with their wristbands another free "jam" at another club, but I don't feel that was a good enough attempt to satisfy the people. During the current economic state, in all due respect I must say, I WANT MI BLASTED MONEY BACK!"
Boy, that's harsh.
