Reggae artiste Sizzla has rejected as false a claim that he demanded a fee equal to that of fellow Jamaican artiste Vybz Kartel to close the One Caribbean Music Festival after Kartel failed to appear.
Kartel’s fee was US$1.35 million to perform in Trinidad.
Promoter Dane Anderson told regional media that Sizzla’s team revised their fee upwards after learning that Kartel would no longer perform. According to Anderson, the new demand matched Kartel’s contracted amount—an increase he said was not feasible due to the festival’s strained budget.
