Prominent American businessman Corey Todd is due in court next Tuesday facing a charge of assault regarding an incident with a Stone Love selector earlier this month.
Todd reportedly received a summons earlier this week to appear in Corporate Area Resident Magistrates Court to answer the assault charge stemming from an altercation with Stone Loves Bill Cosby inside Club Riddim.
The incident took place while Cosby was performing his set during the weekly event, Swag Tuesdays inside the club. While Cosby was juggling, he played a series of Vybz Kartel songs including a song by Di Teacha that allegedly is a Corey Todd diss song. In an attempt to stop Cosby from playing the song, Todd is alleged to have dropped a cup then a banner on the Stone Love disc jocks head to gain his attention. When that failed, Cosby intimated that Todd then approached him with a box full of CDs; throwing them at Cosby who knocked away the box. However, Cosby suggested that he was in pain from the altercation.
Todd later admitted to an altercation taking place & that he did indeed drop a banner on Cosbys head but implied that the altercation was nowhere near physical. Nevertheless, Todd said that the Kartel diss song towards him sparked the incident & insisted that no Kartel diss songs or any diss songs in general should be played at any Club Riddim event as he attempts to change the atmosphere of the New Kingston based club.
Todd is the former business partner of Vybz Kartel, who he severed ties with after alleging the Dancehall Hero made threats on his life. Hes since teamed with Beenie Man to promote the new Yaad Swag rum brand & most recently signed Aidonia to a management contract. Aidonia will be the focal point of a marketing campaign for Todds latest drink, Yaad Stout which hits Jamaican shelves next week.
