Dancehall star Tommy Lee Sparta received some bad press last week after his highly publicised Trinidad show ended before it even started.
The “Uncle Demon” deejay was billed as the headline act for “Sparta The Concert” at Guaracara Park in Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad.

However, promoters of the event called off the show at approximately 2 a.m. after only nine patrons made their way to the venue.
A rep for Tommy Lee sent Urban Islandz a statement blaming high crime rate and the location of the venue for the poor turnout.

“Besides rain at the out door venue, Trinidad is presently experiencing a spike in crime rates and most persons did not feel comfortable going out to the event,” Tommy Lee reps said in the statement. “The location selected by the promoter was farfetched in South Trinidad.”
Since the incident, Tommy Lee has released two new singles titled “Do Weh Mi Feel” and “C4.”

Trini people don’t play with no demon craziness. Wrong place for that we not messing with no jumbie! We have enough Lajabless, Duppy, Douen and Soucouyant to worry about!
We already have our own demons to deal with here , we doe need tommy lee own nah.
1. Crime rate had nothing to do with turn out because for carnival people was whining low in fetes. 2. I hear people saying the venue was farfetched, what happen people don’t live down south. Conclusion ‘Tommy Lee’! Who is that? I never heard of this artist before now, and I listen to a lot of dancehall music. Anit nobody got time for Tommy Lee!
