Just heard from a friend that former Calypso King of Dominica Dennison "King Dice" Joseph has been arrested.
Allegedly, over an altercation at the market this morning involving an officer of the law. His house was searched, drugs were discovered. He along with others were placed into custody.
Wow. I had seen Dennison at the last lap at Crazy Coconuts TripleKay/MFRJam. He was hanging with fellow Klockerz members S.K.I.NN.Yaka Shadowflow, and Sky Dimex. They were having a time. I was at the market too, but left before this 'incident' occured.
I hope that police followed proper procedure in their actions, and I hope that in due time we can find out the truenature of the incident on both sides. I know many consider Dice a bad role model and already tongues were wagging since he decided not to defend his crown.
I was not there so as far as I am concerned, he is innocent until proven guilty.
Developing......
UPDATE: I was told he was charged with Obstruction of Justice. He intervened in a dispute between a policeman and a young man. That sounds like the Dice I know. He does get a bad rap because he is so opinionated, but he abhors injustice, and so do I. So I guess this should be on local news tomorrow which as far as I am told is when he will go to court.
Thursday Feb 19th was a hell of a rainy night. I braved the cold wet streets of Dominica, to finally get some treatment for my gambling problem. lol.
I traversed to the Harlem Plaza where Dominica's 2008 calypso King performed his hits to eager fans. This was the first of two scheduled performances for "Dicey" as he is affectionately known since announcing that he would not defend his crown this year.
Here are some pics from the event. For those of you new to the blog, I like to be in the pics, eh. If you don't know, well now you know!!!!! So when I got home early Friday morning, I realized I did not have one decent pic of me at the show. Well hello, I got my locally made, rasta-themed jewelry, my funky hairstyle, and I still had some makeup the rain had not washed off. Oh yeah, I was gonna take a pic. Never mind the two headlamps on my chin. Loose yourself in de eyes dem!!!!!!
(yes I took it in my bathroom. I didn't want to wake da family... damn do I need counseling for this???? lol)
Enjoy
