It a recent media report it was indicated that another bail application for the incarcerated dancehall entertainer, Vybz Kartel in relation to the Clive 'Lizard' Williams murder case has been denied.
The bail application was made by his attorney Tom Tavres-Finson in the Home Circuit Court this afternoon.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer and the five other men are accused of murdering Williams at Kartel's home in Havendale, St Andrew on August 16, 2011.
The application was turned down following arguments that Kartel is a flight risk.
The prosecution also argued that the accused could attempt to pervert the course of justice if granted bail.
Williams was allegedly beaten to death in August 2011 over the disappearance of an illegal gun.
They are to return to the Home Circuit Court on November 18 when their trial will begin.
Kartel has been in custody since September 2011.

Buju Banton almost freed
US federal judge today threw out a 2011 gun conviction against reggae star Buju Banton.
The decision means that Banton, whose given name is Mark Myrie, will have his 15 year sentence reduced to 10 years for now.
Meanwhile, Judge James Moody has told the government to bring a criminal contempt charge against a juror who helped send him to prison.
Banton's legal team had sought a new trial following the disclosure that a juror, Terri Wright, had conducted an internet research on aspects of the case during the trial.
Today, Judge Moody concluded that Wright did independent research during Banton's February 2011 trial and then discussed her findings with other jurors, behavior that came to light after she did a newspaper interview in October 2012.
She could face a fine and up to six months in prison if found guilty of contempt
According to a report by The Tampa Bay Times, Banton's attorney Chokwe Lumumba said afterward that he appreciated Judge Moody's decision on the gun charge but he didn't think the judge went far enough.
"I thought he should have thrown out the whole case," Lumumba said.

Queen Ifirca rhained in after Singing about Security Minister Mr Bunting
To tell you the truth i like that song by Queen Ifrica ...dont cry Mr Bunting ... the song grabs you attention reminds you of the harsh reallity in the country ...scares you that the powerfull is almost powerless to help and funny cause Ifrica speaks with such wit, clarity and truth.
According to a rcent report it was indicated that Queen Ifrika is not the first to call out a politician in a song but she’s certainly the first to go to parliament following the release of her fiery single “Don’t Cry” in which she questions the Security Minister’s efforts in his bid to fight crime. Upon hearing the song, Minister Bunting has invited Queen Ifrika to a few meetings and to parliament. The Security Minister shares with Music News his plans with Queen Ifrika.
We are not certain if this is to make sure that he not too embarrassed by the song ... this attempt will perhaps bear no fruit... but it looks good on the Queen .

Shell vs Peanut Shell
The timing was odd... in my view cause this song was done shortly after Kartel song was released and the fact that Roach is embeded in the track ...who have tons of reason to have a beef with the now prisoned bleached artiste ... who perhaps is "cleaning up Cell"...
The Agent Sasco's shell sounds like a counteraction to Vybz Kartels peanut shell...there was repeated reference to peanut shell in his song as well... If you ask him i can bet you billion dollar he would deny it that this was the case.

Now there is no certainty that these feuds are alive and well but of late though Agent Sasco aka Assassin have been dancehall police hitting the likes of Khago for his threesome song recently. In his new song called "shell" one has to wonder if he is hitting at Vybz Kartel who has a song called "peanut shell". This new Agent Sasco songs seem to be throwing words at Kartels peanut shell song. Agent Sasco "shell" appear to be involve producer Roach.... Stay tuned to this website as we will point out the areas where we think this is in our next article.

Bounty Killer and Popcaaan are Now Friends
In a recent report in the star news paper it was indicated that Although Popcaan pledged his allegiance to his former mentor Vybz Kartel, the dancehall artiste has buried the hatchet and has reconciled with iconic dancehall artiste Bounty Killer a natural enemy of the now defunct Gaza Empire.
Bounty Killer celebrated his 41st birthday last weekend at Sugarman Beach in Portmore, St Catherine which was alleged to have been flopped in reports earlier this week. It was during selector Boom Boom's set that the surprise came.
"Him (Popcaan) deh Canada pon tour and him send a voicenote to him sister and tell him sister fi mek sure mi get the song. Mi mek the link wid har and she burn it off pon a CD and mi just premiere it at the party," Boom Boom said.
In the voicenote, Popcaan said, "Yuh done know a Popcaan a represent fi Bounty Killer the legendary. Yuh done know today a yuh special day so mi just waan seh on behalf of me and the Unruly Gang, big up yuh damn self." This was followed by an a capella version of one of his songs, Party Non Stop.
Bounty Killer told THE WEEKEND STAR that he was surprised by the birthday greeting.
"I was a bit surprised but it touched everybody. I went to his birthday party at the Quad too so there is a mutual understanding," Bounty Killer said.
The Warlord went on to say that he is now more focused on music and less on war.
"My earlier days was fighting against who I didn't like. Now in my later days, it's all about uniting with the people. I care zero about haters," he said.
Although speculation has been rampant that Popcaan has joined Bounty Killer's Alliance Next Generation (ANG) camp, Bounty Killer refuted these claims.
With an arsenal of new hits under his belt, including a recent collab with I-Octane, Bounty Killer told THE WEEKEND STAR that is now focused on positivity in the music.
"Everything that is great and positive is up with me from here onwards. Fans can look out for new tracks, albums, videos and tours. I'm also focusing on the development of my 'young gaads' artistes, producers, musicians and selectors. Greatness and beyond mi say. Alliance for life," the deejay said.

Did Bounty kller Birthday Party 2013 Flopped?
Did the might Bounty Killer party flop?. Its perhaps too early to say what has happened as they are no formal reports of what happened. Bounty Killer is celebrating his birthday as he always does in June. Now there was one blogger who alleged that he party flopped because he was there and saw no one as it was alleged that tickets were not given for the event and hence ended up being a flopped show.
As soon as the evidence appear to confirm or deny this allegation it will be poblished. As we know Bounty Killer the general is still a force to be rekoned with in the dancehall, to be feared, to be honored and never to be flopped on his birthday party
