KINGSTON, JAMAICA - Fans of dancehall artiste
I Octane took to social media to voice their disgust with the revelation that
Octane has not been booked to perform on this year's Reggae Sumfest concert in
Montego Bay.
"I know that Sumfest is under new management but why
no Octane, fans in the west love Octane, he always gives a great performance
every year, he is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser so why the change?" one fan
posed on Facebook.
The response on Twitter was just as incendiary.
"How Sumfest so biased!? No Octane, no
Sumfest!" @badgalrenee tweeted. Another Twitter user, @monzashotta
tweeted: 'wah Sumfest ah deal wid? How the Genna Octane no de pon the show this
year after him bun it down 2016".
jhana_grant said: why haven't I seen IOctane listed in
the lineup? I come every year from Atlanta and he is my favourite part of the
show."

year???? #pleaseexplain.
I-Octane has come a long way since his debut at Reggae
Sumfest several years agoas an opening act and through his fiery performances
gradually worked his way up to appearing later on the festival to become a
middle-order artiste in 2011, when he delivered a set that surpassed the
expectations of the Reggae Sumfest crowd. Over the years, I-Octane has been
consistent in his career and that has boosted him to become known as one of
Jamaica's best artistes. He closed the festival two consecutive years, 2013 and
2014.
He is known for massive hits such as Lose a Friend,
L.O.V.E Y.O.U and Gyal A Gi Me Bun.
Other artistes who have not been booked or announced for
this year's edition of Reggae Sumfest include Popcaan, Assassin and
Konshens.
