The response was a mainly negative one from those commenting on the announcement.

The Trojan Riddim video was condemned by Prime Minister Mia Mottley, Anglican Bishop of Barbados Michael Maxwell and others for appearing to promote gun violence, especially at a time when violent crime spiked in the country.

Peter Ram apologised for the part he played in the video. (SAT)
