Beenie Man and Corey Todd, Vybz Kartel's former business partner, are at it again. After Yaad Swag Rum (news of 28/06/2011), they are now taking on the beer market with Yaad Stout.
A new drink bearing the Doctor's image, also joined by Aidonia, Khago, Notnice and Jahvinci, who can be seen in the ad below settling scores with Red Stripe (note also the reference to Clifton Brown and his "Nobody canna cross it", which had all of Jamaica laughing in June).
Beenie Man, Jamaica's child star, is used to this sort of thing, but Aidonia far less so. In an interview with the Weekend Star, the deejay (who will promote the drink in his songs) said he was expecting a lot from this advertising sponsorship: "It's a good thing for Aidonia as a brand, not just as an artist. (...) As I grow commercially, the product will grow as well."
"Beenie Man is the King of Dancehall, and Aidonia is Jamaica's most promising deejay," said Corey Todd to explain his choice. He added that other artists will appear on the bottle in future.
