Ruff Kut drummer Ricardo 'Drummy' Davis is disappointed at a leaked diss track by up-and-coming artiste JQuan, which references an incident at Sharkies Seafood Festival in Runaway Bay, St Ann, on Heroes Day. "To be honest, what I was expecting was an apology. But that's the power of the mic," Davis told THE WEEKEND STAR .
Videos of the incident show JQuan getting annoyed with the band and calling them out. He and Davis subsequently got into a shouting match with expletives traded back and forth until the microphone was cut. One of the artiste's managers, Emanuel Wung, said that the song was done by JQuan "in the heat of the moment".
"But since that, we and Drummy ting quash and everything is good. Drummy ah do nuff interview still but JQuan just a hold it. The song sounds a bit heated because JQuan did vex about the whole thing at the time and he want to tell his side of the story, but somehow the song leaked," Wung told THE WEEKEND STAR .
Co-manager Tameka Reynolds said that JQuan "will not apologise because he has nothing to apologise for". Chronic Law, Skippa, Armanii and Yaksta were also on the line-up of the festival. Davis said that he had no idea who JQuan was, but he knew and liked one of his songs.
He said all of the artistes turned up for rehearsals except JQuan. "We reached out to his people and were told that he was coming ..
. at one point we even heard that he wasn't doing the show. The last day of rehearsals Nigel [Staff, keyboard player] got seven songs for JQu.
