Kranium said to be at centre of dispute

CURTIS CAMPBELL, STAR Writer

Popular selector Boom Boom recently had tongues wagging at Uptown Mondays when suggested that female dancehall artistes Tiana and Vanessa Bling (Gaza Slim) were embroiled in a feud for the love of ‘Nobody Has To Know’ singer, Kranium.

In a video which went viral on social media, the award-winning selector can be heard saying, “Kranium deh wid Gaza Slim and Kranium deh wid Tiana, a deh so the mix-up deh yuh hear. Kranium yuh have the two female dem a war over yuh.”

Recently, Vanessa Bling recorded Future Guaranteed, while Tiana did a counteraction called No Future Guaranteed. Both songs have gone over 60,000 views on YouTube since the ongoing controversy.

NO FUTURE

When contacted, Tiana told THE STAR that she released the counteraction because Vanessa Bling is bragging about a man that is unfaithful.

“There are certain things that have to be left unsaid, but it is a counteraction to Gaza Slim because no future is guaranteed with a man that has cheated on you. Because once he has cheated on you, that means that you cannot hold your man and there are other things out there that has his attention,” she said.

When asked about Boom Boom’s allegations, Tiana did not refute. She also said she and Vanessa Bling are no longer on speaking terms.

“We are not speaking and you can read between the lines of the song because the counteraction says it all. As it relates to Boom Boom’s comments, people have their own opinion and are free to express themselves. My point is that you cannot be bragging about a man that is constantly cheating,” Tiana said..

THE STAR also spoke with Vanessa Bling’s camp. Her road manager, Kamar Tarnell, told THE STAR that Vanessa Bling is ignorant to Tiana’s existence in the music industry.

“Wi nuh know nobody name suh. Who name Tiana? We only know about Vanessa Bling song Future Guaranteed and she was talking about relationships in general,” he said.

In recent times, allegations have been swirling in the music industry that Vanessa Bling and Kranium are romantically involved. The two were recently spotted together in the United States and are also promoting a collaborative love song called Notice You.

Tiana has developed a strong following in Europe where she frequently tours. She is also promoting new singles No Worries and Balance Pon Yuh Head.
