… deejay says he does not want “any form of retaliation’
I was not taken to hospital, I drove there myself, adds deejay
Dancehall artist Konshens has moved to clarify an incident in which he was reportedly attacked and had to seek treatment at a hospital.
The incident reportedly happened at at Southdale Plaza, St Andrew sometime after midnight. Konshens was attacked by a music producer at ‘Mojito Mondays’ and then taken to the Andrew’s Memorial Hospital to treat injuries, it was reported.
Konshens… says there was no setup or intent to hurt friend.
In a statement late Tuesday morning, the Gal a Bubble deejay sought to throw cold water on the reports, claiming that he was “accidentally hit” over his eye by a “friend” who he had a confrontation with at the party.
“Calm down. I was accidentally hit over my eye with a bottle and he was only protecting himself so I’m not upset. He’s not just a music producer, he’s also my friend,” Konshens said, adding that he does not want “any form of retaliation.”
According to Konshens, the argument was over a record that went missing from his studio, allegedly taken by his “friend”. The deejay claimed he approached the “friend” at ‘Mojito Mondays’ in a non-confrontational manner, but the man “felt threatened and made a decision to just swing and run!!”
“A crazy uncalled for decision if you ask me. Upon running he was accosted by persons from the crowd, there was no setup or intent to hurt him; people see Konshens with blood on his face and see you running, it will be dangerous for you,” the deejay said.
Konshens… I do not condone any form of retaliation nor do I hold any grudge against him.
He added: “I was not taken to hospital, I drove there myself; I am not in critical condition, I am safe at home. And I do not condone any form of retaliation nor do I hold any grudge against him…. Him a our likkle ute from long time. Me chat to him whole night last night. mek it rest right now.”
Konshens also apologized to the owners of the venue the party was held, the promoters and patrons of ‘Mojito Mondays’ for the disruption.

WAAAIIITTT!! I wasnt attacked, i wasnt taken to no hospital and im not in critical condition… Calm down. I was accidentally hit over my eye with a bottle and he was only protecting himself so im not upset. He’s not just a music producer, he’s also my friend.
I DO NOT WANT ANY FORM OF RETALIATION. NO ONE ASSOCIATED WITH ME WILL RETALIATE AND I CONDEMN ANYBODY ELSE THAT DOES SO. AND PLEASE BARE IN MIND HE IS STILL A FRIEND OF MINE.
Misunderstanding, fear and misjudgment.
We have an issue over a song that he took from my studio that i ordered him not to take that ended up being stolen by sum1 he’s doing biz with and released. I was upset but Aparently he thought i was way more upset than i actually was.
I saw him last night and sent someone to call him. He came over and i began asking him about the issue. He started explaining that he did not release it and the other person did it to get back at him, i responded asking why he took it from the studio in the first place. Apparently all this time he wasn’t even listening to me, my hand was on his shoulders and his hand was on my back, we are both straight, this is not an unfamiliar situation for ppl in the middle of parties having a convo. However he was looking at the people around me and saw them coming closer and felt threatened. But he has known me long enough to know that NO ONE AROUND ME regardless of who they are can touch him or anyone else in my presence without my consent. And i would never hurt him because i known him for years he was even an engineer at my studio so he knows how i operate. AND i would never try to have an altercation in public especially over such minute matters. Anyway he felt threatened and made a decision to just swing and run!! A crazy uncalled for decision if you ask me. Upon running he was accosted by persons from the crowd, there was no setup or intent to hurt him, people see konshens with blood on his face and see you running it will be dangerous for you. And im sure several persons on the scene can attest to seeing me with my bloody face pulling people off of him even before i left.
I was not taken to hospital, i drove there myself, i am not in critical condition i am safe at home. AND I DO NOT CONDONE ANY FORM OF RETALIATION NOR DO I HOLD ANY GRUDGE AGAINST HIM…. ANY SUCH ACTION BY MY TEAM OR ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS TOTALLY CONDEMNED BY ME. please… Him a our likkle ute from long time. Me chat to him whole night last night. mek it rest right now.
I would like to apologize to the owners of suzies and the promoters and patrons of mojito mondays for our disruption of what was a nice vibe last night, we are not there on a regular and its so unfortunate that the one time we get a chance to be there this happened. Deffinately not SUB style. Very sorry again especially to the loyal patrons of this event and supahype and the 007family. Jus one a dem ting deh.
