Was Serani Set Up in St Croix?


With no confirmation forthcoming so far from authorities in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, the dancehall community has been anxious about the reported robbery at gunpoint suffered by multi-talented Serani of DASECA Productions while in that island.

The man who has helped hone the skills of many popular dancehall superstars and cranked out solid hits including ones of his own, appeared in St Croix on Saturday night, after having performed in Guyana last week, it was reported.

Following his performance, described by a Star forum blogger as “much to be desired, because the extremely popular singer is said to have performed for only a short time,” he was taken to his hotel and dropped off along with his road manager.

It was reported that there just happened to be a set of robbers on the scene as the two alighted from their ride, who held up both parties at gunpoint, led them to their room and ordered them to lay face down, before robbing them. The coincidence in terms of the perfect timing of these Virgin Island robbers and their ‘perfect’ victims – who just got paid a tidy sum for performing, is leaving a sour taste in all forward thinkers’ mouths.

While no statements have yet been released from DASECA Productions, it has been reported that Serani and his road manager were also relieved of payment secured from the show held the previous night in St. Thomas as well money collected in Guyana. They also were allegedly robbed of some very costly jewelry.
