Two of Jamaica's prominent dancehall artists, Rodney 'Bounty Killer' Price and David 'Mavado' Brooks, have been banned from Guyana.  Bounty Killer has been banned because he failed to follow performance guidelines set out previously to a show he performed at two Sundays ago at the National Park. Guyana's Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee, yesterday stated that Bounty Killer blatantly bashed gays and glorified guns during his performance. The promoters, Entertainment Company Wildfire Productions, have also been sanctioned according to Rohee.
 Meanwhile, Mavado has been blacklisted due to security concerns. Mavado was scheduled to perform in Guyana this weekend at the Linden Town Week celebrations alongside Lady Saw. Mavado's career is currently at a crossroads as his single with Jay-Z, "I'm on the Rock", has been getting a lot of airplay on US radio stations. However, he has not be able to exploit this opportunity as the US, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and now Guyana, have prevented him from enetring their countries.
