Keeps promise made after becoming a Christian
Former dancehall artiste Lady Saw has begun reimbursing
promoters who had contracted her to perform prior to her conversion to
Christianity.
Following her decision to become a Christian,
Saw, whose real name is Marion Hall, also announced that she would be ceasing
her performances as a dancehall artiste.
"I have spoken, every promoter that I was
supposed to work with in the future and started the process to repay
them," explained Saw.
According to the artiste, dubbed the Queen of
Dancehall, she has begun repaying several promoters since her conversion more
than a week ago.
"I have been doing transfers daily to
promoters, but I haven't been able to repay everyone yet because there is a
limit to the sum that I can use daily," she added.

One promoter, Jermaine Blake, who had been
contemplating legal action against Hall because she had not contacted him
initially since her conversion, told THE STAR that he and the
former dancehall had reached an agreement.
"We have spoken and she had agreed to repay
both the deposit and promotional cost so we are good now," said Blake.
In a prior interview, the event promoter had
said he paid over $300,000 for promotions in addition to the deposit paid to
Saw for his St Thomas show, Rumbar Glow, but he had not been contacted by the
deejay since her baptism.
The promoter of Yush, Phillip Palmer, which Saw
was set to perform on tomorrow, told THE STAR that they are
trusting the former deejay to keep her word that she will be repaying the
deposit they had paid.
"She has promised to refund all deposits.
We have not gotten the money back as yet, but we are holding on to her word in
good faith."
The 43-year-old veteran dancehall icon said she
will be able to complete the process of reimbursement in short order.
"I am just working on finishing this as
soon as possible so I can focus fully on being a servant of the Lord, and the
promoters have been very understanding so far," said Saw.
