Guyana banns Jamaican reggae singer 'Bounty Killer' over violence

GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Guyanese authorities have banned a Jamaican reggae artist known for anti-gay lyrics from performing in the South American country.

Interior Minister Clement Rohee says Bounty Killer is no longer welcome because gunfire erupted at an April 19 concert.

Rohee announced the ban Monday. He says Bounty Killer's lyrics promote violence and celebrate criminal behaviour. He also banned the Jamaican singer Movado.

Bounty Killer concerts earlier were scrapped in Britain and Germany because of protests over lyrics that include references to killing homosexuals.
