TSTT HANGS UP ON MACHEL.........

THE Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT)
this morning confirmed that it had suspended all existing ties with entertainer Machel Montano.

In a statement, TSTT gave no reason for suspending its sponsorship deal with Montano, who was found guilty last month on charges of assaulting four persons outside the Zen nightclub in Port of Spain on April 26, 2007, and on the charge of using obscene language.

Montano was due to be sentenced on January 17, but the sentencing
was adjourned on February 25.

Since Montano's guilty verdict, a number of persons and non government organisations have called on TSTT to cut ties with the superstar, who was scheduled to perform today at the TSTT-sponsored Soca in bSquare concert series at Woodford Square, Port of Spain.

In its media release TSTT stated that "at this time it has suspended all existing arrangements between Mr Montano and the company.

However, TSTT wishes to reiterate to its customers that it is a long
supporter of the nation's culture.

The company also wishes to assure the general public that it remains committed to its leading role in providing valued telecommunications services for the people of Trinidad and Tobago".

Comment by Roots aka TJ What De Ras on February 1, 2013 at 2:29am: At life is good. He can still travel on an entertainment visa. I wouldn't give him that type of credit. Sparrow is the face of soca. And singers like sparrow represent soca. You have arrow with feeling hot hot hot.. If you are not a ware not sure of the exact year, he tried sneaking coke in his mother bag onto a plane after he finished his performance in another country. He allowed His own mother to take the fall for him. He paid some good money I mean paid people off to get it to a fine. Machel changed over the years once the money start rolling in. I give him credit for combining soca, reggae, house music into one.

Comment by Roots aka TJ What De Ras on January 31, 2013 at 10:38am: But do you noticed he is being sentenced after carnival. That's because he generates revenue for the country. People from all over wants to see him perform for a large amount of fee. I still think he sold his soul to the devil and now it's time for him to pay up.

He's a great artist/performer, that however is not an excuse to beat up on people-your fans no less. Or should I say former fans. BTW I live in NYC. IJS
