One of Jamaica's biggest stars will be banned from performing at a major music festival in Jamaica this year after he included an extended anti-gay rhyme during his performance at the festival on Dec. 26.

"We had a meeting on Saturday and we ... came to the decision to ban Sizzla Kalonji" from next year's concert, Laing told the Gleaner. "Sizzla was warned repeatedly before going onstage about not promoting hate music and he went up there and did it repeatedly. We are going international and we warned every artist before they went on to the stage."
