BZR WKND has now backed Jamaica’s government and directly denied Cardi B’s claims about government funding for her cancelled performance.
The event organizers say they received no financial assistance from the Jamaican government, no funding was promised or agreed upon, and Cardi B was paid in full through independent funding.
This is getting messier than #that gumbo. 👀

This is @iamcardib herself saying that the JLP government led by @AndrewHolnessJM was ready to pay the remaining $US 1.5MILLION.

BZR media launch had 2 ministers in attendance. Which offered to foot the bill for Cardi's fee? We know no commitment was made because the offer was rejected, we know the promoter was having issues coming up with the funds.

So JLP FM decides to push the fake graphic. I ask any reasonable person to total the list and tell me you got 84 billion dollars. Research has shown that many items cant be verified and most have not spent half of the allocation. Imagine posting fake news.
Schools have been handed the biggest slice of the Government’s Hurricane Melissa recovery money to date, with $25 billion allocated to the Education Ministry for repairs.
But less than half of it has been spent so far.
The Government has given a breakdown of the over $84 billion it has spent so far to address post-Hurricane Melissa recovery.

The rangers got talking point of 84 billion dollars spent and so they created a list out of thin air, not knowing the list totalled 102.89 billion dollars (because nobody will check). I went and researched the info and as we say there is a diff between allocation and spent.

Jamaica Federation of Musicians and Affiliates properly fixed PM Holness.
"We consider your remarks deeply concerning and dismissive of cultural Ambassadors and disrespectful to the legacy of the pioneers. Brand Jamaica belongs to the people of Jamaica."
And I add, not to you.

🔘 UPDATE: Why Jamaica is banning official overseas travel
It all comes down to money!
Jamaica's Cabinet Secretary, Audrey Sewell, has issued a memorandum to the Financial Secretary and Permanent Secretaries explaining the rationale for the immediate ban on official overseas travel.
"Government must lead by example in demonstrating prudence, restraint and an unwavering commitment to directing scarce public resources towards the country's most urgent priorities," she wrote.
▫️ Sewell said the unprecedented destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa has placed enormous pressure on Jamaica's financial resources and public sector capacity, declaring that the country is now at a "critical juncture", requiring the Government to exercise the "highest degree of fiscal discipline".
▫️ She said Ministers and senior public officials must remain firmly focused on national reconstruction, economic recovery and the effective delivery of public services.
▫️ The ban applies across the public sector, regardless of whether travel is funded by taxpayers or external organisations. It takes immediate effect and will remain in place until March 31, 2027.
▫️Overseas travel may only be permitted with written prior approval for post-Melissa reconstruction and recovery, national security, approved board meetings, essential tourism promotion and genuine emergencies of compelling national importance.

🔘 DEVELOPING: Jamaica restricting official travel until end of March 2027
The Jamaican Government has imposed an immediate ban on official overseas travel by ministers and public sector officials until March 31, 2027, except in special circumstances. This coincides with mounting scrutiny on government spending amid a slow Hurricane Melissa recovery and rising inflation, one year after the disaster.
▫️The directive, issued by Cabinet Secretary Audrey Sewell, applies across the public sector, regardless of whether travel is funded by taxpayers or external organisations.
▫️The Government says the unprecedented destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa demands strict spending controls, with financial resources and the attention of senior officials focused on reconstruction, economic recovery and public services.
▫️ Previously approved trips must be reviewed, while non-essential conferences, training and ceremonial engagements should be deferred or conducted virtually.
▫️Overseas travel may only be permitted for post-Melissa reconstruction and recovery, national security, approved board meetings, essential tourism promotion and genuine emergencies of compelling national importance.
▫️ All exceptions require prior written approval from the Cabinet Secretary, supported by justification of the necessity of the trip, cost and expected benefits.

Poorly planned operation.
