Trinidad Denies Bounty Killer

Trinidad wants no part of Bounty Killer. Authorities barred him from visiting the island for a weekend show where he was scheduled to perform, a concert promoter told the Associated Press Sunday.

The Jamaican rapper was turned away upon arrival and flew back to Jamaica, according to Verne Extavour, spokesman for Jacho Entertainment. No explanation was given, Extavour said.

Bounty Killer's last visit to Trinidad ended with his arrest on stage for using obscene language. Authorities in Jamaica arrested him for the same reason during last year's Reggae Sumfest.

Best known for the album "My Xperience" and for collaborating with No Doubt on the song "Hey Baby," Bounty Killer was one of a number of musicians scheduled to perform at Saturday's concert. Among them was Vybz Kartel, with whom Bounty Killer has a long-standing rivalry that has led to violence between their fans.

Promoters had said the concert would represent a truce.
