Vybz Kartel’s reality show, Teacha’s Pet could soon be losing one of
its major sponsors following the arrest of its centerpiece on Thursday
night.
Kartel was arrested at his New Kingston hotel room and later
charged with ganja possession along with a woman and two other men
following an operation conducted by the Flying Squad. However, it was
revealed on Friday that Kartel was being investigated regarding the
discovery of a dead body at his Havendale, St. Andrew residence &
was a subject of a bigger case that the “Dancehall Hero” might be
connected to.
Now, telecommunications company, LIME, who sponsors Kartel’s new
reality series, Teacha’s Pet, could be withdrawing their sponsorship
from the show should bigger charges be laid against “Di Teacha.”
Officials from LIME intimated that they were following the case of the
prominent deejay; engaging in talks with the producers of the reality
show, Creative Source Productions regarding the charges that were issued
against Kartel. "We will continue to monitor the situation and as more
information becomes available, if necessary, we will issue a further
statement,” LIME stated via press release.
LIME’s mobile television outlet, LIME TV is responsible for showing
the “Too Hot for TV” version of Teacha’s Pet. The uncut episodes air via
LIME TV’s Peppa Channel every Friday night at 11pm local time; an hour
after the show’s initial airing on CVM TV.
Friday night’s episode of
Teacha’s Pet did not air on CVM TV at its regular time slot due to circumstances beyond their control ; specifically issues within the editing process.
However, the full, uncut version of the episode was still shown via LIME
TV at 11PM last night.
