QQ Given 'Ok' To Perform By Jamaican Government
Kingston, Jamaica: Sep 22, 2007 Kareem Dawkins better known as QQ, has been given the go-ahead to start performing again by the Jamaican Government; the young dancehall artist was granted a special permit. In July of this year, QQ was forced to cancel a number of stage shows abroad as advocates of Jamaica's Child Labour Laws forced the young star to desist from performing. QQ lost roughly, over US$40,000 in income that had to be returned to promoters. The clamp-down came at the peak of the summer holidays when QQ would have been looking forward to a number of shows, both locally and abroad, as school was out for the holidays. However, QQ still made the most of his free time, not on stage, but inside the studios. Meantime, while that is over and done with, the question as to who will be QQ's guardian in the future still hangs in the balance. QQ's mother, Jackqueey Banks, had filed for custody of the child earlier this year. A judge is to make a final verdict on the matter when both parents appear before the court next Friday for their final hearing.
