General B - File

Dancehall artiste General B was yesterday morning questioned again by police.

After being accosted by police while sitting in his BMW X5 outside of Island Grill on Red Hills Road on Monday, General B was surprised to see more police personnel turn up at his door yesterday morning.

"Mi dey a mi house, cause mi did lef from Hot Mondays bout 3:30 inna di morning. Police come dey bout 5 a.m. When mi guh pull di door dem put on handcuff pon mi an start search up di place. Dem search every room an a ask if mi have gun," General B said.

General B said he felt disrespected by the manner in which the police handled the situation, as they spoke down to him and even made threatening remarks. "Cause all when mi ask dem if dem have search warrant, dem a sey wah dem have bigga dan dat ...," he said.

According to General B, although the police apologised afterwards, he said he would never forget the experience.

"All when mi live 'till mi a 100 mi nah figget dis. When uno (police) a carry out uno investigation, uno fi handle di people wid respect and be more professional inna uno approach."

But his ordeal with the police did not end there, as General B says, "Afta wa gwaan dis morning, some different police stop mi again when mi guh pon di road. Dem carry mi guh a Constant Spring Police Station an tek picture a mi vehicle from every angle and mi get a paper from dem fi show whenever any more police stop mi again, suh mi nuh haffi guh thru di same procedure all over again," General B said.

Following a shooting incident on Friday night, which left one teenager dead, police have been searching for the culprit who is said to drive a dark colour BMW X5.

General B, who also drives an X5 fitting the same description as the one driven by the culprit, says his recent ordeal with the police was just a case of mistaken identity as he was at a different location at the time.

"I am an entertainer, is music I do, I don't have time to be causing harm to people," said General B.

The artiste is currently making preparations to go on a US tour this month, along with the other members of the Monster Empire. General B says he also has some new singles out like InnaDi Bus produced by Truckback Records and More Liquor.
