Dexta Daps - From Mi Heart
Popular dancehall artiste Dexta Daps was once again the topic of discussion yesterday. However, this time, it was not for his hit-making abilities.
The artiste was involved in a tussle with police officers at the Sangter International Airport in Montego-Bay.
According to reports, the artiste parked his car in a restricted area and was accosted by the police. This resulted in a verbal altercation, which then became physical.
In a video, which is being circulated by social media, a crowd gathered outside the airport as several officers attempted to put handcuffs on him. They were however met with resistance, as he refused to be placed under arrest without a valid reason.
One officer grabbed him by his waistband, while they struggled to place him in the back of a waiting police car. Dexta Daps could be heard asking why he was being arrested, several times throughout the video.
At one point, a fan of the artiste attempted to wipe the sweat off his face during the tussle.
“Wha me do fi get arrest? Me have the right to know whe unu a lock me up fah …” were some of the words uttered by the 7-11 singer.
After more heated exchanges, including several expletives, he agreed to go with the officers, but not in the car. Up until news time, it was not clear whether he had been arrested or even charged.
When contacted, a member of his management team told THE STAR that there was an incident, but that he was working to resolve it.
SINGJAY Dexta Daps is set to make his New York debut as the headliner at the Oracabessa Festival at the Roy Wilkins Park, on Memorial Day, May 25.
Bobby Clarke, CEO of Irie Jam Radio, organisers of the festival, said he was pleased that the artiste was part of the line-up.
“We are very pleased to welcome to the Oracabessa Festival and New York city, breakout Jamaica artiste for 2015, Dexta Daps,” said Clarke.
Also booked are Tarrus Riley, Alaine, and the Grace Thrillers.
