The Jamaica Observer broke news of Irie FM’s ban of Richie Spice’s Music on its airwaves. According to the station “Effective immediately, artistes who include explicit lyrics or indecent language in previously clean pre-released singles on CDs or other released music, will be facing a media black-out by the company.” This comes on the heels of an embarrassing moment for a radio DJ who played the title track off Riche Spice’s "Gideon Boot" Album on the air. At the end of the song there was an expletive “B*&% c@#%, it finish already." It seems promotional CDs that the station were given were clean, but when the actual album was received and played on air, the format was different as the expletive was added. Of course it comes as a shock to many since Richie Spice is known not for using profanity, but for his positive and uplifting music. The newspaper quotes his assistant Ornaldo 'Junior' Thompson as saying that, "It was just a vibe. When he finished singing the song he made the exclamation and the engineer captured it. I guess because it sounded natural and musical, he left it on the track. When the raw footage was being submitted to the company it was on it and because our badwords have no meaning on the overseas market, the company just left it at the end of the track."
Hopefully his new management team can do some damage control to rectify the situation. He amicably broke ties with Fifth Element Records and is coming full circle to his previously formed family based Bonner Conerstone Music, who currently represents, Spanner Banner, Snatcha Lion.
