Mark Kenny, executive producer of the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall competition, has denied rumors of a physical confrontation at its finals Saturday night.
"There was no fight backstage or anything. However, we had a power outage that lasted for about 10 minutes due to a major fault with our generator," Kenny told the Jamaica Observer.
He said the glitch cast the venue into darkness and made the audience anxious.
"We lost the electricity right after Khago's performance and there was a loud explosion due to the power outage. Several persons in the audience panicked which resulted in a bit of a stampede as persons thought there was a fire," Kenny explained. "Thankfully, there were no reports of injuries."
Over the weekend, there were numerous posts on social media about a physical bout between the entourage of dancehall producer and Magnum judge Cordell 'Skatta' Burrell and deejay Khago.
The two have been feuding since Khago's recent split from Downsound Records where Burrell is a senior player.
