The police have confirmed that unknown assailants shot up a corner where entertainer David ‘Mavado’ Brooks hangs out along the Cassava Piece gully bank in St. Andrew. A 34 year-old man was shot and injured in the incident, but was treated and later released. “It was a drive-by shooting that happened at about 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, and eyewitnesses said that it was a black car that was seen leaving the crime scene. A man was shot and injured, he was shot in the buttocks and later released from the hospital. Right now, it is still just a rumour about the shooting being a result of a feud between two entertainers,” a member of the Constant Spring C.I.B, told One876Entertainment.com. The shooting occurred at a location less than a mile from the nearby Constant Spring police station.
Mavado has been involved in a recent feud with deejay Vybz Kartel and they have traded barbs over songs such as Mavado’s ‘Songwriter’, Kartel’s ‘Dem a P--- inna Bad Man Place’ and the latest song by Mavado has derogatory lines about Kartel’s babymother and labels him an informer. Sources close to both camps gave reports that suggested that the feud between the two had become personal, especially when Kartel heard the track while hanging out with friends as he celebrated his birthday on Sunday.
A member of Mavado’s camp told One876Entertainment.com that when he arrived at Cassava Piece, he saw a black car speeding away from the scene.
Efforts to get comments from Mavado and Vybz Kartel proved futile.
