Reggae artiste Pashon Minott is calling for sponsors to come on board for the fourth staging of the annual Sugar Minott's Day Tribute, which is hosted at his studio, Youth Man Promotions in Kingston.

According to Pashon, her father, who died in 2010, is a legend and is deserving of a properly produced event in his honour.

The singer says she has sent several proposals to entities with the hope that at least one would find it in their heart to be the event's title sponsor.

However, there have been no takers.

"Sugar Minott is the Godfather of Dancehall, therefore, this shouldn't be so. This is the fourth staging since Dad died and I always produced it out of my pocket, but I want the event to grow and I need assistance. Dad is a legend and has done a lot to put our music where it is today. Daddy was one of the first artistes to deejay on a computerised rhythm," she said.

Pashon does not believe her father, even while alive, got the respect he deserved and she is urging the music industry and potential sponsors to do the honourable thing and salute the Herb Man singer by contributing to this year's staging of Sugar Minott's Day Tribute. more
