Wyclef Jean’s sister, Melky Jean got married this past weekend in South Florida and Mavado was a guest of the bride and groom.
Melky and her husband, Supreme planned an amazingly lavish wedding a luxurious resort and one of the bride’s special wishes was for Mavado to attend.
Melky, who is a Grammy nominated songwriter, considers Mavado as her favorite artist. The ‘Gully God’ has also been a friend of Wyclef’s for some time now. They have collaborated on recordings in the past and plan on continuing to do so.
From the wedding Mavado went on to rock the cities of Orlando and Tampa with two sold out performances.
This year has started off with a bang for Mavado whose sophomore album titled, “Mr Brooks - a Better Tomorrow”, will be on shelves next month.
With BET’s 106 & Park set to jam the premiere of the “So Special” video; and his many promotional appearances, Mavado is definitely in line for greater things this in 2009.

Deejay Kapri calls Kipo a 'coward'
Deejay Kapri, while congratulating Kip Rich on his fine Sting performance where he dismantled the Monster Hemp Higher, believes that Kipo could not stand up to a lyrical confrontation with him.
"I applaud him for his performance but a man is easy to shine among reflectors, but him caan shine against the light, which is me. Mi waan know wah him a deal wid because him never answer me, him not even foul me up fi open up the people dem ears, wah Lip-rich ah deal wid?" he said.
"Yet still him tek on the Monster Hemp Higher...everybody know dem a flosser, dem not lyrically inclined to war. I want to know where he is because him ah celebrate him victory yet still he is afraid to face me. If him call him owna name and mek it all sound like Kapri, mi ah go murder him lyrically," he boasted.
He has a new song that he is ready to unleash to the world which declares:
Yu and 19 man ah step plus him bredda that a 20 fag
Yu ah search fi me like mi hard fi find
After yu go trick Jamworld wid yu bomboc---t nursery rhyme
Him ah hype up hype up
Say me call him name fi get a write up
But mi a pree him from the day him say mi caan buss
But how a coward fi a call a man a coward
When mi dun hear say Ele say yu a bowas

Dancer 'Ice' to go out in 'Brite Lites' - Celebrity funeral home to provide glitzy send-off
The funeral for popular dancer David Alexander Smith, aka Ice, will be held on Saturday, January 31, at the Our Lady of the Angels church on Molynes Road, St Andrew.
Ice was gunned down in the early hours of Boxing Day, December 26, 2008 along Newark Avenue, Kingston 11.
According to a report in the STAR, the St Andrew Central police said Ice was shot and killed moments after exiting a bar where he had gone to purchase a pack of cigarettes. Further reports are that the vehicle in which he was travelling, a Mitsubishi Lancer, was also stolen.
Ice's sister, Natalie 'Pinky' Smith, says the funeral will be open to the public and will have all the 'fandangles' courtesy of Brite Lite Funeral Services.
She tells the STAR, "It will have the whole fandangles, the glass casket right through, the glass chariot, the limousine, the banner - the whole works."
According to Pinky, Ice's family is back to life as normal weeks after his death and is doing their best to 'hang on'.
As to whether Ice's former fellow dancers will be giving a special tribute to the fallen dancer, Pinky says she is unsure. She says she is not familiar with the popular dancers to make the arrangements.
'Nine night'
A 'nine night' for Ice will be held at his home on Zinnia Avenue on Friday, January 30, while an unofficial nine night was already held on January 4, on the Black Roses corner in Arnett Gardens.
Ice was a long-time member of the Black Roses crew, formerly led by William 'Willie' Haggart. Gerald 'Bogle' Levy, popular dancer, was also a member of the crew. Both men were shot dead in separate incidents.
Ice created the popular dance, 'Gully Creepa'. The dance brought attention to the dancer, especially after Jamaican athlete and world record-holder Usain Bolt performed the move after winning the 100-metre event at the 2008 Olympics in China, last August.
Vybz Kartel unleashes 'Sting' on Antigua
Vybz Kartel gave a workmanlike performance at Sting Antigua, held last Saturday, at the popular Millers by the Sea.
Kartel was the Last Man Standing. The final act for the night, 'Addi the Teacha,' as he is called by his peers, was in concert.
He had the patrons in a frenzy, rolling out a barrage of hit songs from his lyrical arsenal including Life Sweet, Picture This, Trailer Load A Money, Beyonce Wine, Tek, Wine Up and Wine Pan You.
A favourite in Antigua
His Rampin' Shop collaboration with Spice got three encores. The Antiguans loved Kartel and the song that was recorded immediately after the clash with Mavado is already a favourite in Antigua.
Spice, the lone female on the bill, gave a commanding performance. The raunchy, entertainer performed Fight Ova Man,along with other songs. She also invited a male patron on stage to do the 'Sky Daggaring' which got thunderous applause.
"Antigua a my place. Anytime I perform here the audience always want more, the man them love me and the woman them scream fi mi," noted Spice.
Love mi vibes
Egg Nog, who sang and danced, got three encores. "The Antiguans love mi vibes. I was surprised to know that they know my song Party Time Again. Antigua mi ready again, it's was all about the party," said Egg Nog.
Shano O had Lightning Flash in the venue, the people showed a lot love for his Ghetto Prayer and Crab Inna Barrel.
"Anytime I perform here the audience just show me a lot of love and mi give thanks fi that," he said.
Flippa Mafia, flossing Dem Yah and Dem Yah did the usual throwing of money (three times) and spraying into champagne in the audience and got a good response.
Sting Antigua was promoted by R Five Entertainment.
Nuffy wants public apology from Mavado
Popular MC Nuffy says he wants a public apology from dancehall artiste Mavado.
The MC is upset, claiming that Mavado wrongfully accused him of bias on CVM TV's On Stage which was aired on January 3.
This followed the highly publicised lyrical clash between Mavado and Vybz Kartel at Sting, which was held on December 26 at Jamworld Entertainment Centre, Portmore.
"I heard Mavado saying that me and Vybz Kartel set him up (at Sting). Him seh me Nuffy call him on 15 minutes before him even reach the venue. Me woulda like fi know weh him get dat argument from," Nuffy told The STAR.
"Mi need a public apology from Mavado. And, if him don't do it mi know seh him have something against me."
Is fi him problem
As one of the hosts of the event, Nuffy said he was simply working off the instructions given by the stage manager.
"Mi nuh deh pon no man side, mi a nuh Alliance, me a nuh (Portmore) Empire. Him need fi go sort out him thing wid him and Vybz Kartel. Is not my problem, is fi him problem," Nuffy said.
The STAR tried to contact Mavado for a comment several times yesterday but was unsuccessful.
However, his manager Julian-Jones-Griffith said he was unaware of the accusations.
No man draw mi inna dem thing
But MC Nuffy is concerned about his safety.
"Mi nuh want no man draw mi inna dem thing. Mi feel cut up over it 'cause Mavado have him fans and I am a public figure. A serious thing 'cause mi can deh a road and people see mi and seh Nuffy a try disrespect the gully gaad (in reference to Mavado)," Nuffy told The STAR.
While that is the case, Jones-Griffith said Nuffy has nothing to worry about.
"Nobody nah do Nuffy nutten man. Ah him a prolong it now and fi bring it back inna di media. And it's time everybody moved on from Sting, a last year thing dat," Jones-Griffith told The STAR.
"We and Nuffy a fren, a wi brethren. A Bounty (Killer) buss Nuffy. Mavado been telling his fans not to follow-up the clashing thing in the streets."
Kip Rich sums up his view on Monster Empire in new track ”Coward”
“Coward” is the latest release from Kip Rich who tore up the STING stage by putting some serious dents in the Monster Empire’s flow.
It has been an ongoing battle of the words spilling over from 2008, between Monster Empire – known also as Ghost, Roundhead and General B and the verbally slamming Kip Rich.
Releases from Kip Rich like: “Dem Caan Cow Wi” was salting up Monster Empire’s wounds in preparation for the STING blasting. To the disappointment of many, Monster Empire did not rise to the challenge that the tens of thousands were expecting at STING. They did not come out to clash Kip Rich.
“Coward” is how Kip Rich is calling it now with the track that refers to the former Monster Shock as, “Three duppy ah Jamworld…:”
Taking the lyrical feud into the New Year, “Coward” can be heard on several music programmes
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.
Serani robbed at gunpoint
Craig from DASECA confirmed that Jamaican artiste Serani and his manager had been robbed at gunpoint in St.Croix over the weekend, and that the singer, whose No Games is doing well on the Billboard chart, would be returning to the island today.
"We believe that the promoter set them up. They were robbed inside the hotel while they were on their way to their rooms. They were held at gunpoint and robbed, everything gone, the money from the show the night before in St. Thomas and the show before that in Guyana, everything gone," Craig told a one876entertainment.com reporter a short while ago.
"I am going to pick them up at the airport today, and then I will know more."
Serani has had a remarkable 2008, scoring several hits, Doh, a combination with Bugle and the aforementioned No Games.
