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🌞🏝️."

https://yardhype.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1000539521.mp4

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.

Shenseea

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.

Delomar RDX's Performance in New York Cut Short by Police Due to Unruly Crowd, Resulting in Riot - Watch Video

Video footage of a crowd rioting after a performance by Delomar RDX was cut short by law enforcement shutting down the event is circulating online. Delomar RDX, birth name Andre Bedward, one half of the duo RDX that split in 2020, had a performance in Albany, New York, as a part of his promotional tour for his upcoming album called 'Galiday'.

However, due to overzealous fans and those who took the liberty to climb over fences, the event was cut short while Delomar was performing the hit single Jump onstage to a lively crowd who was singing and dancing along to the music.

Before his performance started, Delomar stated, "Mi know say it agguh be craaazy...cuz yow dem crazy out desso..." Little did he know, however, that a long line of police would have to intervene to take control of the crowd.

After returning to his car, the entertainer was commenting on how the event had to be shut down and the amount of police called to the university where it took place.

While driving away and videoing the aftermath, he said, "Watch yah. A me alone cause e wul a dis ennuh...watch yah cuh police...Albany get destroyed by Delomar."

Watch the video below:

https://yardhype.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1000539183.mp4

Despite the fame that came with being a part of the group RDX, people in the comment section seemed not to know about them and questioned who Delomar was.

Marvalynforrest asked, "Perform what? Which song him sing?" sensationalsue_ said, "A who dis?" and west_mark_west stated, "It's the ppl asking who is RDX 😂😂😂😂 has some of the biggest dancehall songs."

Kraff's 'Daggering' Skills Criticised After This Performance On Stage With Female Fan - Watch Video

Dancehall artiste Kraff is facing criticism due to a video of his latest performance, which caused some viewers to speculate about his bedroom skills. Unfortunately, some viewers have concluded that the Sinna deejay is not skilled when it comes to giving a woman a good time in bed.

The assumption was made after critics watched Kraff dagger a female on stage. The deejay can be seen shirtless as he holds the microphone in one hand and uses the other to grip the woman's pants as she bends over in front of him.

He deejays Rum Behaviour while dancing with her, and shortly afterwards, she stands up and returns to the audience. Afterwards, Kraff resumes his solo performance, and the video concludes seconds later.

The video was shared on X April 30 by Donz Media shortly before midday, then later reshared by Kadidja Palmer, who commented, "From me look pon dis me know him cyah f**k."

Watch the video of Kraff's performance below:

Another negative comment blamed what they deemed as Kraff having insufficient sexual abilities on "Too much weed and liquor."

Another viewer said, "No waist movement, not even like wine??"

"Literally said the same thing. Most a dem can’t actually f*ck based off how they act," Trashley wrote.

Another Road Rage Between Taximan and Private Vehicle Owner in Corporate Area - Watch Video

Another video is circulating online of a taximan (yellow shirt) and a private vehicle owner (brown shirt) swearing at each other with their cars blocking off a section of one of the lanes below the 3 Miles Bridge located in Kingston/St. Andrew, Jamaica

The video started recording seemingly by someone in a car behind the two cars, after both cars had already stopped on the road causing traffic to build up behind. Based on what the private vehicle owner was saying, it seems as if the taxi man tried to squeeze past his car in a tight space.

The incident shows the private car owner walking around his vehicle toward the taxi filled with people saying, "Pu**ycl**t wrong wid yuh? Wapm to yuh, eh?" He reeled off a number of expletives and told the taximan about his mother, telling him to pray that no damage was done to his car.

The taxi operator then reversed and exited his car to look it over, holding what seems to be a tire iron in his hand. At one point, the two men got in each other's faces while shouting, but did not touch each other.

Next, the passengers start to exit the taxi, seemingly to get away from the confrontation as the men continue to argue.
