Vershon moves to Avoid War with Mavado4 min read

Following a mini feud with Jahmiel earlier this year, recording artiste Vershon is now seeking to avoid a confrontation with Gully Gad, Mavado. Vershon’s move to diffuse a potentially hostile situation follows the labelling of his song, My Success, as a Mavado diss on the popular social media platform, YouTube.

According to the deejay, who fended off a lyrical confrontation from Mavado’s protege Jahmiel earlier this year, the song is intended to motivate persons to strive for excellence. However, his good intentions have been marred by persons who appear hungry for controversy.

In My Success, Vershon sings: “Boy come a boast, money fool, money fright. Yu nuh memba when you used to live pon di gully side.”

According to Vershon, persons believe some lines in the song are directed at Mavado, since he makes reference to gully side in his first verse. It is also well known that his rival, Jahmiel, has been a firm fixture in Mavado’s Gully Side camp, which would cause some fans to assume that Vershon has directed his wrath at Mavado.

When THE STAR contacted sound system operator Tall Man for comment, he said he does not think Vershon disrespected Mavado.

Roger Barrett, record producer at Frenz For Real records, agreed with Tall Man. He believes Vershon’s mention of the gully in the song is coincidence.
