The anti social antics and indeed anti gay utterances is just bravado to gain, pontificate and keep a following with hardly any real music being released lately by him as the music industry overall suffer from sluggish sales, downloads and falling standards of production.
Dancehall artiste Miguel Collins, more popularly known as Sizzla Kolanji, has been charged for using expletives onstage during a performance at the Falmouth Police Station early on the morning of the 29th.
The case is to mentioned today I since gathered.
Sizzla had been invited in good faith to perform at the station for an entertainment event organised by the police Community Safety & Security Branch, a community outreach arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
However, on entering the stage, his opening sentence was reportedly laced with expletives as he berated the police.
The police, who had invited the artiste, did not turn a blind eye to his performance and he was taken from the stage and charged.
Some persons in attendance at the event said they were angered by his removal from the stage, arguing that the police knew his style and should not have invited the artiste if they did not want to hear what he had to say.
The majority of attendees, however, were of the view that Sizzla's performance was an attack on, and disrespectful to, law and order, particularly since he was performing at the station said to be one of the largest in the Caribbean.
His appearance at Caymanas Park the month before also was reported to have had some out of turn remarks despite that young ones were also in attendance at that time, it was only February 2014 he also found himself in trouble with cops for the same infraction to this present case. Then he was dragged before the St. Thomas R-M court on February 18 2014 after he was charged with using indecent language. Sizzla was at a night club in South Haven, Yallahs in January when the police turned off the sound system, as it was being operated after the approved lock off time.
It is reported that Sizzla then turned the system back on, and uttered expletives to the cops. The sound system was subsequently seized by the lawmen.
The deejay was later served with a summons to attend court when he showed up at the Yallahs Police Station the following day to retrieve the seized equipment.

Remember also he has been banned from performing at Sting of all places where fire brand performances once were the mainstay and pull for that event but pressure came from some of the sponsors including allegedly Red Stripe and other brands regarding the anti gay lyrical content and violence promotion generally.
Earlier as well he supposedly 'bun out' gays on On Stage from CVM News among other platforms as well gloating in the public's response.
He has also refuse to sign the symbolic Reggae Compassionate ACT as done in the example below by artistes such as Vybz Kartel.

So the standoff in as far as Sizzla and LGBT advocacy is concerned may not be resolved anytime soon.
Peace and tolerance
