In the wake of the heated verbal exchange between Harry Toddler and General B and the subsequent physical altercation at Boom Box Fridays, fellow entertainer Flexx, a former member of Mavado’s Gullyside outfit, has expressed his deep concern and disappointment over the incident.
Flexx underscored that while artists may have disagreements, it is wholly inappropriate for members of their entourages to resort to physical violence, as seen when General B was pushed off the stage.
In a passionate message, Flexx criticized Harry Toddler and the individual who physically assaulted General B, stating, “All yuh Harry Toddler, you a wah wicked bwoy, a suh oonu would mek dem beat General B and kill him and nobody no seh nutt’n, nobody nuh stop it a dat me a try tell uno, and memba me tell yuh seh youth if one a oonu ever try all dat wid me one-day man, my youth me vex, me vex.”
General B, speaking with a popular YouTube commentator after the incident, recounted the events at the Boom Box event in detail. According to him, he was asked to give up the microphone he was using after responding to Toddler’s disrespect. He expressed deep disappointment in Harry Toddler, describing him as the “wickedest person” he has ever encountered. He expressed surprise at this level of hostility, especially since he had forgiven Harry Toddler for past insults.
General B opened up about feeling disrespected by someone he considered a business partner on several occasions, highlighting the emotional toll it has taken on him.
He described the frightening moments after being pushed off the stage, where he narrowly escaped being stabbed by defending himself with a broken camera grip, ultimately managing to evade his attackers but not without suffering some physical blows. The artist, one of the creators and promoters of the Boom Box Fridays event, revealed that he is now contemplating whether he will ever participate in another staging, given the current atmosphere.
The incident has profoundly impacted General B, raising questions about the safety and decorum within the dancehall music scene.
