Mobay Street Vendor Bursts Chinese Business Woman's Head with Frying Pan

Reports are that a Chinese female national is recovering from a head injury after being assaulted with a frying pan by an enraged female street vendor. The altercation arose from an accusation that the Chinese woman had struck the vendor's child.

The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon when the vendor's child entered the Chinese woman's store situated near the street vendor's stall. Witnesses observed the child tampering with items on the shelves. Subsequently, the store owner, whose identity remains undisclosed for security reasons, reprimanded the child and escorted her out of the store, per police.

Later, the child allegedly informed her mother that she had been hit by the store owner. Enraged by this claim, the vendor stormed into the store to confront the Chinese woman. Despite the store owner's attempts to explain the situation, the vendor, in a fit of anger, grabbed a frying pan from a nearby shelf and struck the Chinese woman on the head.

As per the Jamaica Star, the attack inflicted a severe wound, causing the Chinese national to suffer a gash on her head, which resulted in profuse bleeding. Following the assault, the enraged woman dropped the frying pan and fled the scene. Despite efforts by the police to locate her, she remains at large.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the whereabouts of the assailant to come forward and assist in the investigation. The incident serves as a reminder of the need to maintain calm and composure during disputes, as resorting to violence only exacerbates the situation and endangers lives.

As investigations into the assault continue, local authorities are reviewing security measures in the area to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. In particular, Members of the business community, who are unhappy with the attack on their colleague are calling for the return of Operation Restore Pride, which is an initiative to keep vendors out of the area.

DJ Khaled Continues to Show Profound Love for Reggae and Dancehall

DJ Khaled has always been vocal about his love for Jamaica and its music, whether Dancehall or Reggae, and he shows this in different ways which includes his frequent visits to the island and posting videos vibing to Jamaican music.

On Wednesday, Khaled paid his latest respect to the culture, sharing a video of himself chilling and listening to a Super Cat dubplate titled 'Jah Run Things'. He captioned the video, "Maximum manners and respect🌞🏝️."

Notably, the American DJ turned record producer has been promoting YG Marley's Praise Jah in the Moonlight in his many Instagram uploads, adding to the song's already worldwide popularity. In addition, DJ Khaled is expected to collaborate with the artiste for an upcoming song, based on a clip of the two men enjoying themselves in the studio, along with other associates.

This will be adding to the long list of Jamaican artistes that the producer has partnered with in the past. He has done music with veterans in the business like Bounty Killer, Capleton, Buju Banton, Sizzla, and also signed Mavado to his label back in 2011.

However, things have not always been a bed of roses as shown by a recent fallout between the producer and Sizzla Kalonji where Sizzla videoed himself destroying and burning the plaques given to him by DJ Khaled. Over time, the two seem to have let bygones be bygones.

Khaled recently shared and pinned a post on his IG account of Bob Marley speaking about Reggae music getting "bigger and bigger..." In another post, DJ Khaled states that he is working on a "special experience" for his new upcoming album and it is expected that Reggae and or Dancehall music will be featured on it.

He can also be seen in posts uploaded a couple of days ago working away in the studio with a caption that said, "Working on my biggest album @wethebest I'm inspired to give the world great energy."

Reggae and Dancehall 'Biggest-Hits' Back on TikTok After New Deal with Universal Music Group

Universal Music Group (UMG) and TikTok have announced a comprehensive licensing deal that promises a host of benefits for artistes, songwriters, and music lovers worldwide. Under the terms of the new agreement, UMG's extensive catalogue of recordings and songs will return to TikTok's platform, reinstating beloved Reggae and Dancehall tracks from iconic artistes such as Bob Marley, Shaggy, Skip Marley, Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Shenseea, Buju Banton, Chaka Demus & Pliers and more.

The partnership, unveiled on May 1, 2024, heralds a significant milestone in the music industry, with both entities committing to foster creativity, drive innovation, and protect artistic integrity. This development comes in the wake of recent negotiations that saw UMG pulling its music from TikTok due to payment disputes earlier in the year.

A few months ago, a trove of music from several genres was pulled from the platform on February 1. One such casualty was Shenseea and Masicka’s rising hit, Hit & Run, which quickly racked up millions of views after its release and was growing in popularity on TikTok. Like Bob Marley, tracks from Shenseea and Masicka’s catalogue are managed by UMG under its subsidiary labels.

Following Hit & Run‘s removal, Shenseea’s co-manager, Romeich Major, addressed the situation. Seemingly disappointed with the outcome, Romeich noted that the song had been removed just as Shenseea and Masicka had released it.

The new deal between both entities signifies a renewed commitment to collaboration, with UMG and TikTok pledging to explore new avenues for artiste promotion, fan engagement, and revenue generation. Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, lauded the partnership as a testament to the enduring value of music and the importance of supporting artistes and songwriters.

Shou Chew, CEO of TikTok, echoed Grainge's sentiments, emphasizing music's integral role within the TikTok ecosystem and the platform's dedication to fostering a vibrant creative community.

As part of the agreement, both UMG and TikTok will leverage their respective strengths to enhance the music experience for users. TikTok's advanced technology, marketing tools, and promotional capabilities will be harnessed to deliver improved remuneration for UMG's songwriters and artistes, while providing new opportunities for engagement and discovery.

Additionally, TikTok will continue to invest in artiste-centric features, including enhanced analytics, integrated ticketing, and online safety protections, empowering artistes to connect with fans and build their global fanbases.

The deal represents a win-win for both parties, with UMG's music returning to TikTok's platform and TikTok gaining access to UMG's extensive catalogue, enriching the user experience and fostering creativity and joy across the platform.
