Gangster for Life singjay Mavado is to pay ten thousand or ten days in prison for breaches of the town and country act.

Mavado appeared in the Spanish Town RM this morning (20/01/09) after a warrant was issued for his arrest for using profanity on stage during his performance at the controversial Sting held on Boxing Day, last year.

Meanwhile Vybz Kartel will appear in court tomorrow (21/01/09) on similar charges.

Both Kartel and Mavado blurted out expletives during their lyrical clash at Sting.

Warrants were subsequently issued for their arrests after police stated that the men were not arrested on spot in light of safety concerns.

However, Kartel and Mavado were not the only entertainers who used profanity at Sting, but still no word on what will happen to the other perpetrators.

Keep it locked for the full hundred.
