'It was all in fun' - Bounty Killer

Montego Bay, St James - Dancehall 'warlord' Bounty Killer, who on Thursday launched an attack on his rival Beenie Man at Sumfest's Dancehall Night, insulting the artiste, his fiance and his mother, yesterday said it was a non-issue.
"It's not a issue," charged Bounty, a playful smile on his face. "Me and Beenie just having fun with it," he told the Observer yesterday following a press conference at the Half Moon Hotel where many of the big acts for Sumfest including Fifty Cent and Damian 'Jr Gong' Marley were present.
When asked whether D'Angel was aware that the issue was being used as a public gimmick, Bounty said he would not know since he was not on speaking terms with her.
"I couldn't tell" answered Bounty. "It's not like me and her speak."
And despite using an entire portion of his act Thursday to address the issue of his former flame now being an expectant mother and the wife to be of his nemesis, Beenie Man the Killer insisted that it was not a public issue. "The issue is in the public but it is not a public issue," he charged as he rolled himself a 'joint' outside the lobby of the posh Half Moon Hotel.
The Killer, who spewed rhetoric about throwing away garbage that was picked up by somebody else insisted that he was not bitter over the issue, which has been a source of public scrutiny and curiosity since Beenie and D'Angel made their relationship public earlier this year.
"Me and her broke up last July," he explained. "We tried to reconcile but it just never happen then she start to par with this brethren in October."
He admitted however that he had to speak out at Sumfest because he was being 'provoked' by the two. "You see, what they are doing they are trying to upset me," he charged, as he pointed to songs done by Beenie Man which attempted to ridicule him.
He maintained however, that his angry onstage rhetoric was nothing but an act and maintained that this was the last time he would address the issue. "You know that Bounty performance is a serious high-energy performance, it not really about Beeenie and Angel," he said. "It's not worthwhile," explained the Killer. "It old and tired. It was good for one last hurrah."
Bounty said he used the issue Thursday night as a laughing stock against Beenie for one last time. However it was not just Bounty who was laughing Thursday as the Doctor launched his own counter-attack. He claimed that D'Angel was tired of the Killer's boring bedroom act and had now hooked up with a real man.
He even turned one of the Killer's signature phrases 'bullet, bullet, bullet' against him. "Mi no fraid a bullet cause mi wear bullet, what mi use a rocket and shoot yuh outta yuh shoes," sang the Doctor to the delight of the crowd. "What we do is hold gal and breed it, breed it, breed it," he concluded to shouts of endorsement from the crowd, lighters and gun salute.
