The lawyer said his client threw the box at the artiste but it bounced on the turn table and did not hit Burke. According to Dewar, Burke reported the matter because of influence.
Corey Todd is the former business partner of Vybz Kartel, well known as the brain behind the once popular Street Vybz Rum. Todd is now working with the likes of Beenie Man and Aidonia to launch new products such as Yaad Swag Rum.
