Veteran entertainers Merciless and Paul Elliott had a physical altercation at the free concert held Down Kingston on Sunday (29/01/12) in memory of the late Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emanuel Brown. According to Paul Elliott he was peeved after Merciless said some disparaging things to him backstage at the event.

The brawl occurred while Half Pint was on stage performing We a One Big Family. Paul Elliot was later prevented from performing. Meanwhile, numerous efforts to get a comment from Merciless proved futile. Nonetheless, the memorial concert for Dennis Brown was well supported. Half Pint, Big Youte, Beres Hammond, Ken Boothe and Jimmy Riley were some of the entertainers who performed.

Paul Elliot is threatening to take legal action against fellow entertainer Merciless if he continues to tarnish his reputation. According to Elliot, if Merciless continues to say offensive things about him during his stage performances and in his songs he will be forced to sue the deejay for defamation of character.

This ongoing saga involving Paul Elliot and Merciless started at a tribute concert for Dennis Brown where the two had a physical altercation. Meanwhile, numerous efforts to get a comment from Merciless proved futile.
