Mr Vegas Banned Grenada

The Grenada government has refused a work permit to Jamaican artiste Mr. Vegas, who was scheduled to perform there on Saturday.


Vegas who performed in Grenada at a rally of the then ruling new national party in 2008 said the move is political one by the government.

Steve Duncan said no specific reason had been given by the Minister of labour for refusing the work permit.

Mr vegas on his twitter page hit back by saying “How could the minister of labor in Grenada be so lie and call himself a pastor,he is on the news saying steve duncan applied For a work permit late,this man is a pastor and is out their lying through his unholy teeth the permit was applied 4 jan 22 we have proof “

Duncan ,who claimed to have invested more than EC$30,000 in marketing the show, is questioning the move to ban the artiste and wants the government to say if it has a list containing the names of persons who should not perform in Grenada

Grenada’s labour laws do not require the labour minister to provide a reason for denying an artiste a work permit.

This is the second Jamacian artiste to be banned from performing in Grenada by the 19th month old Tillman Thomas administration. Last April, the government refused a work permit for artiste known as Vybz Kartel
