Beenie man needs to be bagged from BDO
BDO organisers investigate Beenie Man
Big Day Out organisers are investigating whether controversial Jamaican Dancehall act Beenie Man will perform homophobic songs at next year's music festival. Beenie Man was yesterday named to perform at the 2010 Big Day Out music festival at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland on January 15, alongside Muse, Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, Groove Armada, The Horrors, Mastodon and others. Beenie Man, real name Anthony Moses Davis, caused an outcry earlier this decade over a series of songs that contained homophobic lyrics. He had concerts cancelled in 2004, and was stopped by police at Heathrow Airport. He claimed he wasn't homophobic in 2007, but denied reports he had signed the Reggae Compassionate Act, a petition renouncing homophobia. Concerts have been cancelled in the past because of the lyrics to some of his songs, and a Facebook page, Standing up against Beenie Man at Big Day Out 2010, already has 900 members.
I just can’t believe that Beannie Man was allowed to come into the country? He hates gay people, here are his lyrics…
Beenie Man - Han Up Deh
Hang chi chi gal wid a long piece of rope
Hang lesbians with a long piece of rope
Beenie Man – Damn
I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the gays
I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the gays
Beenie Man - Batty Man Fi Dead (Queers Must Be killed)
All batty man fi dead!
All faggots must be killed!
From you fuck batty den a coppa and lead
If you fuck arse, then you get copper and lead [bullets]
Nuh man nuh fi have a another man in a him bed.
No man must have another man in his bed
Beenie Man - Roll Deep
Roll deep motherfucka, kill pussy-sucker
Roll deep motherfucker, kill pussy-sucker
Pussy-sucker:a lesbian, or anyone who performs cunnilingus.
Tek a Bazooka and kill batty-fucker
Take a bazooka and kill bum-fuckers [gay men]
How on earth did this guy get an invite from BDO? Big Day Out are in damage control right now and the only way out would be to un-invite him. Asking him not to sing these lyrics isn’t a solution, if BDO let him in they will be insulting all Gay NZers., and knowing the people at BDO I can not imagine that is what they want to do.

perhaps he will be here for the ACT party conference....
Just what we need a Hone impersonator insulting more people.
Surely this piece of crap will never be let through New Zealand customs!! For years he has verbalised his hate in one way or another. I've placed him alongside the cult leader Brainless Tamaki. In this day and age, these people are not needed in our society.
Why didn't BDO organizers do their homework first instead of inviting people willy nilly!!!
I'd like to know how the BDO organisers thought this would be ok.
Does anyone konw how to contact Lily Allen - I have a suspicion she might trheaten to pull out if she knows this guy's in the same event as her.
I have got tickets for the BDO and I wont be going if that chimpanzee is going to be there! I will certainly boycott BDO and will be very vocal about the reasons why!

How would you feel about an Eminem concert?
What did you think of Damian Marley coming to NZ?
The Rastafarians are strongly homophobic and Jamaica has many very conservative Christian churches. I think the Christian churches and the Rastafarians both think that Levitcus 20:13 should be literally enforced, meaning that homosexuals should be executed.
There's lots of information about Jamaican homophobia on the internet. Here are a couple of links:
