Singer Terry Linen, correct name Nee Kiplin Simpson, was recently released after he was taken into police custody last week for questioning in connection with a murder which occurred in St Elizabeth last month.
In a release issued by Linen's management team, it said: 'Terry Linen is not suspect to any foul play and is not involved in any further suspicion or investigation in this matter. This comes as no surprise to Terry Linen's local and international fan base from across the globe who know and love Terry for his Christian based and heart felt lyrics.'
Adeka 'Newsman' Miller who is Linen's manager says, "It is a very unfortunate circumstance for an artiste's reputation when a situation like this occurs that reflects nothing of the artiste's character or nature."
"When someone is imitating an artiste's image and music through things like selling imitation dubplates and collecting money under false pretence and something like this happens, then automatically that innocent artiste becomes someone to be questioned, he added."
Since a few days have passed since Linen has been home, his feelings have softened as he offers condolences to the family as they grieve and he prays that justice will be served .
Spoken in Linen's upbeat, positive patois, he states that "This is just one of them unfortunate things and Jah gives us many challenge to face."
Newsman (Linen's manager) also wants to note that all business including dub plate production is done only and exclusively through himself. Any and all other business that is executed through the use and representation of Terry Linen's music outside of this manner is strictly done through imitation and fraud.
Among his upcoming projects, Linen is slated to be on an upcoming 11-island tour in support of a charity yet to be disclosed. Terry Linen and his management team are happy that all association and speculation in this matter is put to rest and he can move forward and continue sharing his positive music and energy worldwide.
