Popular New York radio station Irie Jam Radio is considering a lawsuit against Susanne Persson, the alleged the ex-girlfriend of Jamaican entertainer, Sean Paul, for using the name “Irie Jamboree”, as the title of her tell-all-book.


In the lawsuit, she included a book titled “Irie Jamboree”, stating that Sean Paul abused cocaine, has erectile dysfunction and that the star committed murders during their time together.


Persson a Swedish blonde is seeking US$80 million in damages from the prominent entertainer, claiming she was “emotionally tortured” her during a love affair that began in early 2010,


Upon hearing of this book, Irie Jam Radio has accused Persson of illegally using the Irie Jamboree title given their station trademarked the name given to their annual music festival.


In a joint statement issued Wednesday afternoon by Irie Jam Radio’s CEO, Bobby Clarke and the Irie Jamboree’s co-producer, Steven Williams, their media outlet spoke out on the matter saying, “We are flabbergasted and outraged as to the use of Irie Jamboree by Persson as the name of her tell all book, since Irie Jamboree is a registered trade name which we have used as the legal name of our festival since the inaugural concert was staged in 2003.”


The statement continued, “We have now engaged the services of an attorney to determine what legal course if any we need to immediately take to protect our integrity and our brand. We will aggressively fight to legally protect our brand and any damage that may result by the use of the name Irie Jamboree by Persson.”
