Supercat assaults stage manager over racism
Shortly before his appearance on stage at Trinidad
and Tobago’s MOB II Club, in Chaguaramas, "The
Original Don Dadda" Supercat, reportedly struck the
stage manager of "The Super Chutney Show" pushing
him to the ground. Supercat just could not "settle" with
racial abuse flung his way by the prominent
businessman, Wendell Naipaul.
Supercat, whose real name is William Maragh reportedly
said to the audience, "I box down the promoter because
him wha dis super Cat. Me ain't come Trinidad fi get mix
up in no racism."
The "Wild Apache" performed for an extra 30 minutes,
before making his exit. On his final song, which had the
phrase "I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane," Supercat walked off the
stage into the audience and made his way while still singing
straight to the parking lot and his car. He left before police
could question him on the fracas.
Naipaul has not pressed charges and Supercat left Trinidad and
Tobago the following day, customs officials said.
