LA Lewis releases Beenie diss!

After their physical altercation following the funeral of dancehall artiste Oneil Edwards recently, LA Lewis has released a song hurling insults at Beenie Man.

The song, Rush Mi, surfaced on the Internet late last week. In it LA Lewis sings on the same rhythm as Drake's Find Your Love. It also copies the melody of the R&B song, with Drake's voice being heard at intervals.

In the song, LA Lewis says, "Dem seh dem a Moses but dem a Antichrist/ Dem too Bruce Goldious/ Dem too lie and wicked/ Di ole dog and him fren dem rush mi/ Dem neva know a Father God a protect mi/ See dem all bring dem gun fi shot mi."

The song goes on to explain what LA Lewis claimed happened on the day of the incident.

When THE STAR contacted the self-proclaimed seven-star general, he said his decision to do a song about the incident was triggered by threats he received.

"Mi just do the song fi mek people know how the whole story guh. Yuh have some likkle people a call an' a try intimidate mi but mi just a show dem seh mi nuh fraid of intimidation. Him (Beenie Man) either haffi ansa back but it is in the streets right ya now," he said.

He said he also did the song to show that he actually does songs. "Mi nuh get no help fi write da song deh. It was so easy to write," he told THE STAR.

This comes after the two artistes were involved in a squabble after Edwards' funeral. Reports are that both deejays were leaving the funeral when the vehicle Lewis was driving hit the back of the Audi SUV, driven by Beenie Man. It is alleged that an argument developed between the two, during which Lewis was punched in the face.

Later, Beenie Man and selector Rolexx, who LA Lewis claimed was also involved in the incident, were both charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, after Lewis made a report to the Duhaney Park Police Station.

Beenie Man was still able to leave the island for a 22-show European tour, after being granted $100,000 station bail. However, he will break the tour to attend court.

Meanwhile, some of the more than 1500 persons who listened to the song on YouTube were far from pleased with its quality and even questioned its relevance.

"Me jus a wonda how me siddung and waste mi 1:38 minutes. Da man yah a fool," one viewer said.

Another said, "Jah know if mi did have one wish and mi affi choose either fi end world war or get back mi 2:41 minutes weh mi just waste a listen to da bredda ya, mi woulda wish back fi mi minutes dem."
