The Original story
Reggae/soca star Devon Samuel best known by his sobriquet Prophet Benjamin has cat problems.
While this might make a good name for his next soca song, the singer is seeing ‘red’ after an unfortunate incident with a furry feline.
Two videos started circulating on social media yesterday, showing the singer nursing an injury on his right hand.
Samuel who is from Point Fortin is seen in the video explaining to villagers that a cat belonging to a woman who lives close by bit him.
An irate Samuel is seen in the video saying: Me and that yard……all dem cat dead. All dem cat dead! Really and truly dem cat does really be interfering with people ting. Yuh know I ketch the cat in the corner and next ting yuh know the cat fly up and bite me. On top of that - like it bite a vein. The doctors say it’s a serious ting….. (who paying for that) that’s what ah come to talk to she about.
In the second video, it shows Samuel going to the lady’s home to speak with her.
The video which runs just over a minute shows Samuel trying to explain to the woman what has happened to him, but the woman vehemently denies her cat was involved.
She said, “My cat bite you……so wait what yuh trying to tell meh – my cat evil. No, no my cat doh bite nobody.”
Samuel, frustrated by the woman’s response, began arguing with the woman about her cat.
Their raised voices alerted neighbours who came out and started recording it on their phones.
She said, “It raise yuh raising yuh voice for meh. When all yuh broke and hungry and looking for compensation – not this here.”
Benjamin, who seemed to have had enough with the woman, tirade picked up a dried branch and threw it at one of the lady’s cats in the yard.
She retaliated by throwing water at the singer, who scampered away.
Yes, this happenedHe said, “Ah go come back, yuh feel it done dey…..all dem cat in trouble.”
“Ah will go in the cemetery for yuh,” she said.
The Express spoke to Samuel’s manager Rick Davis on Saturday, who said, there was a previous altercation, and he saw the videos circulating on social media, but he hasn’t spoken to Samuel as yet on it, so he doesn’t know the particulars surrounding the incident.
