International dancehall group T.O.K. has been left feeling angry, disappointed and disrespected as they say popular music video director Wayne South took their money and has to date not produced a music video for their new single.

According to Craigy T, one of the members of the four-man group, South, who is known for music videos such as Vybz Kartel's Life Sweet and Trailer Load A Money, Portmore Empire's Remand Medley and Anthony B's Mama Don't Worry No More, was paid a sum of money to do a music video for their Friend For Life song on Cashflow Records' Good Friends rhythm. The video was shot at Waves Beach, Portmore, but they are yet to get word on the video's progress, much less the whereabouts of South.

"Yuh have some youth out deh weh a some con artist who only a pose as video directors. Wi give him (South) some money fi deliver a video an all now di video cyaan deliver. If yuh a do yuh ting yuh do yuh ting professionally," said Craigy T

transaction

It has been three or four months since the transaction took place between them, and according to Craigy T, South "just disappear off the face of the Earth."

"All now him nuh deliver, him owe wi a video or wi money. We get whole heap of stories bout hard drive crash an dis an dat. We tried to contact him several times, well not us, our road manager through emails and several phone calls," he said.

Craigy T also went on to say that the only reason why South was given the chance to do the video in the first place was because he is the cousin of Alex, another member of the group.

"Is a youth weh want to work wid T.O.K. from a longer while, and for us to seh wi a gi im a one chance and him do that ... yuh dishonour your reputation and yuh dishonour your family," said Craigy T.

He continued, "At the end of the day it not even come down to the money, it come down to the honour. Him disrespect wi and him disrespect him family. Wi just have fi get either one, wi video or wi money."

T.O.K. also has a recent video for No Sah on DJ Karim'Swag Team rhythm which was directed by Steezyfresh and recently returned from a four-week European tour.
