Meenie Man: raving homophobe to play rare UK dates
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly January 19th, 2007

Heterocentric dancehall star Beenie Man has announced a couple of rare UK dates for February.

Tickets for the shows went on sale today (19 Jan), though expect controversy to surround the visit of a man who once penned the lyrics "I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the gays".

Here are the full details of the dates:

February
9 Bristol Malcolm X Centre
10 Birmingham Aston Villa Events Centre

Rumours abound that Beenie Man may precede the shows with a stint in the Big Brother household. More news when we got it, innit.

DiScuss: Should this rancid cauldron of stinking hatred be allowed to breach the UK's fair shores? Should we start a campaign here and now to vanquish Beenie Man? Shall I go across the road and buy a breakfast brap? You decide.
