Rising dancehall artiste Kalado is one of the latest victims of a slick scam which has resulted in false advertising, loss of revenue for the deejay, and has proven to be a promotional nightmare.

Shut down pages
Davis said requests have been sent to Facebook to have the pages shut down, "but as soon as one goes down, another comes up". She emphasised that
"Our numbers are 1-876-365-2116

The thought-provoking single and the just-released music video have made a solid impression on not just the dancehall, but the entire music-loving public, and for this, Kalado and his team say: Mission Accomplished.
