Mavado
Deejay David 'Mavado' Brooks is calling for the end of the Gully/Gaza war by inviting musical rival Adidja 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer to make peace at his birthday bash on Saturday, December 5.
Mavado's manager, Julian Jones-Griffith, yesterday said he wanted to publicly invite Kartel to make peace once and for all. "Basically we want to invite him to the show at Temple Hall Estate as a show of unity for the nation," Jones-Griffith said.
Jones-Griffith and Mavado have been in discussions with Bishop Herro Blair and other prominent figures to come up with a solution for the Gully/Gaza issue, which people have insisted is dividing Jamaica. Vybz Kartel is supposed to be appearing on Bolt's SuperParty in St Ann on the same night as Mavado's bash.
Jones-Griffith said: "We just want to put it out there, Mavado has been coming under pressure for this Gully/Gaza thing and I'm sure he wants a better Jamaica. I'm sure Vybz Kartel, as a Jamaican, wants the same thing. For the sake of the Jamaican youths we're inviting him to come on stage to show the people it's all about the music and dat we can live good. We want him to come and participate, its something that needs to be done and we need a big stage to do it."
According to Jones-Griffith, Kartel or his representatives can contact them before the show, through the media or simply come to the show on the night. He says Mavado is 100 per cent behind the initiative. Efforts to speak to Kartel were futile up to press time.
This will not be the first time that the two have tried to make peace. In March 2007, the deejays met with DCP Mark Shields to call for an end to the feud, however, weeks later the two were at it again. Jones-Griffith says that will not be happening again: "We've been down dis road before and we don't feel good it ended up going back to the feuding. This is not a publicity stunt, we want to explore how we can do this - reach out to di youths in schools and make it permanent. The war is in no way beneficial to anybody's career and it's bringing a lot of negative energy to the country."
The two have been feuding since 2006 and last year faced off at Sting. Since then they have come under increasing pressure garnering nationwide attention due to the negative effects of the feud.

( L - R ) Vybes Kartel, Aidonia - File
Rumours have been circulating on the Internet that deejay Aidonia's most recently released song, 'Mac 90' is a diss aimed at former mentor Vybz Kartel.
Yesterday, the song, Mac 90, on the Israel rhythm was released on the Internet on sites such as www.youtube.com, among others. On YouTube, the song is listed as a 'Kartel Diss,' with persons commenting on the references they believe were made at the Portmore Empire leader.
Kartel and Aidonia are both former members of the Alliance, the latter known for referring to Kartel as 'Addi Mi Daddy' in several songs. Speculations, however, have been going on for months that the relationship between the two had turned sour. In an interview with THE STAR in July, Aidonia announced that he now has no allegiance to anyone but his JOP crew saying, "No Alliance, no 'Gaza', no 'Plaza', no 'Gully'; JOP a dat me seh." The deejay did admit that the two were no longer as close as one time.
the real Lord Evil
In a song, Rifle Shot, previously released on the Israel rhythm, Kartel is believed to have taken aim at Aidonia, referring to himself as 'the real Lord Evil'. Throughout various songs released this year, Aidonia has been using the moniker 'Lord Evil' to describe himself.
In Mac 90 Aidonia responds, "a one man name Lord Evil an dat a me, your name a evil freak." Aidonia also makes repeated references to the 'devil', Kartel has referred to himself as 'the devil' in a number of songs.
A few weeks earlier, Aidonia raised a few eyebrows with his song Art of War, where he made reference to "some bwoy wid dem tongue bore ... can't call me jerky." The song was released after rumours were going around that Kartel had his tongue pierced, which the deejay later denied.
Aidonia's Mac 90 is the second song to be released on the Israel rhythm without the producer, the Gully affiliated DJ Frass' consent. Over the weekend in a controversial move, Kartel voiced Rifle Shot which not only appeared to be throwing words at Aidonia, but took direct shots at singjay Mavado discussing the invitation he made to attend his birthday bash.
When THE STAR spoke to DJ Frass, while commenting that he did not want Kartel to voice on the rhythm, he said the same of Aidonia and any member of his JOP crew.
Frass explained to THE STAR that Aidonia's camp had made efforts to contact him about voicing on the rhythm but he was unwilling to voice the deejay, calling the deejay a "traitor".
THE STAR, however, was not successful in getting a comment from Aidonia on the matter. When contacted, his brother and manager, Lav said the deejay was in studio.
'Some bwoy wid dem tongue bore ... can't call me jerky.'
