Minister Marion Hall is not turning the other cheek when it comes to dealing with what she says are defamatory statements made about her over the past several months.
In her Sunday sermon yesterday, Hall said that she will be taking the legal route to deal with the perpetrators.
“As we speak, my lawyer is putting together some papers because some people are gonna be sued,” Hall told her virtual congregation.
She later added, “People who are saying things and don’t have any proof will have to go to court to prove it. Things are being said about me; [that] I obeah and kill people and all of that, so some people are gonna be in court for it.”
Her statements were made as she played her song From Mi Born (Obeah Man), which was released last year. The song came after spiritual advisor Nardo ‘RT Boss’ Smith used Instagram Live in December 2020 to claim she had performed obeah on her former protege Spice. At the time, Smith said he advised Spice to burn a coat gifted by Hall (who was using the moniker Lady Saw at the time), as he claimed it held a bond that ensured no one would replace Saw as queen of dancehall.
While Hall called no names in her sermon, she said she wrote the song “from I was accused about obeahing a jacket. I ‘obeah’ a jacket and give to another lady”.
While some have made her out to be the common denominator in conflicts among female artistes, Hall said she was drama-free before befriending “them”.
“I realised from early that women was gonna be my enemies because there was a set of women who started out with all the troubles and I took myself away from that,” she said. Nonetheless, she said she always admired artistes including Sister Nancy, Lady G and Patra.
“Days ago, I was here after all hell break loose because I spoke the truth and a lot of fabricated lies came out, patching and chopping up of things put together and all these things,” she said. “The witches and warlocks were out, dead people woke up out of the grave and people who hated me all these years cause as I said, when I stepped into the music industry, everything changed and everyone had something to say about me because there was too much attention on this one girl out of St Mary.”
