“Let them do what they have to do,” a defiant Weston “Cro Cro” Rawlins said, following news that Bamboo businessman Inshan Ishmael is threatening a defamation lawsuit against him.
Rawlins told Guardian Media that he did not receive a pre-action protocol letter from Ishmael or his attorney Richard Jaggasar, nor did he see any reports of it as he does not watch the news.
“I have not received any letter from any man.”
Rawlins also denied that the person he referred to in the calypso titled “Another Sat Around Again” was Ishmael. In the letter on Monday, Jagassar said the calypso identifies Ishmael as the subject and links the Foreign-Used Vehicles dealer with stolen car parts in Bamboo. Jagessar said defamatory remarks in the calypso about Ishmael were untrue, lowering his client’s reputation and resulting in a loss of sales at his business. Ishmael, also a television presenter, wants Rawlins to pay general damages for defamation, aggravated damages, costs and any further reliefs a court considers appropriate. He also wants Rawlins to immediately issue a written apology and publish it in all three daily newspapers and an injunction preventing him from performing any song that defames him.
However, when told that Ishmael wants him to stop performing the calypso, Rawlins said they could not tell him not to perform his song. He plans to sing it at his upcoming gigs.
“That is downright, outright impertinent. They cannot ban me from singing anything. I am not worrying about them. My thing is, I am not singing about Inshan Ishmael. I do not know how he can depict my song as Inshan Ishmael. My song is in I-M-C-H-A-N I-M-C-H-E-L-L-E, so I do not know what problem he has, and we will take it down the line,” Rawlins said.
