Speaking of the Doctor

Reggae Sunsplash hired both the Shocking Vibes studio and Ruff Kut - Beenie Man's band of 7 years - to help with the event's rehearsals.

Due to a prior disagreement with Twin of Twins, on hearing they were rehearsing in the same studio as Beenie, he demanded they leave. Trying to diffuse the situation, manager Patrick Roberts asked that they stay.

Words were exchanged, resulting in Beenie Man firing his band, and a rumoured split with the Shocking Vibes camp.

Beenie Man did perform at Sunsplash, minus his band, and despite not all members of the band being reinstated, the disagreement with Shocking Vibes seems to have been resolved.

As they say, all good relationships have their ups and downs!
