Pantin gets bad feeling over Bounty Killer concert

At last month’s launch of the Grenada Relief Concert promoted by Tri Star Promotions, the Foundation for the Enhancement and Enrichment of Life (FEEL) CEO, Clive Pantin, said he had  second thoughts about Jamaican artiste Bounty Killer; he did not want to judge, and decided to endorse the concert given the motive. Pantin had warned back then, however, “I want to make an appeal to Bounty Killer and Elephant Man and whichever artiste will be performing at the concert — You see your fame? You see your popularity? That did not come from you. God gave you that talent and when you misuse that talent, so help me, you’re going to lose it.” Pantin then ended by asking for God’s blessings at the concert, from where 35 percent of the collected contributions expected at the door will go to Grenada, 30 percent for Jamaica, 20 percent to FEEL and 15 percent for Tobago.

However,  FEEL is now distancing itself from this weekend’s concert, as indicated in a release issued yesterday, which reads as follows: “We are not partners with Tri Star Promotions Ltd and/or Mr Roy Maharaj; neither are we promoters. “We are no longer the endorsers of the Bounty Killer Concert to take place on October 31 2004 at the Queen’s Park Savannah. “We should, therefore, not be held liable to costs, expenses, fees, liabilities etc that may be incurred as a result.” When asked what happened to warrant this release, Pantin told Newsday, “I am not satisfied that proper arrangements have been made, especially in the line of security. I am not getting that feeling and I thought it’s best that I stay out at this time.”
