TIVOLI ENQUIRY: I Wish Dudus Was Still Here, Says Resident

“At the murder rate now (in Tivoli Gardens) you can’t even walk in peace.
Of course I wish him was still there to continue keep the peace,” Annette Marshall testified during cross-examination by lead attorney for the Jamaica Constabulary Force, Deborah Martin.

“We would sleep wid we door open. We wouldn’t wake up and hear say dem rob da man deh (and) the market would a full back wid market people,” Marshall added.
The long time Tivoli Gardens resident, however, insisted that she did not know how Coke was able to keep the peace in his west Kingston stronghold.
Marshall said when people in the community had a problem they would go to Coke and if he could assist he would.

“If he couldn’t assist he would send them to Denham Town (police station),” she testified.

Marshall also told the commission that police personnel at the Denham Town Police Station would send citizens to Coke to resolve issues.

Unlike other residents in her Tivoli Gardens community, Marshall openly acknowledged that she knew Coke.
“I am not going to say I didn’t know him, I know Dudus. I am not his friend, but I socialise with him, he is so nice,” Marshall testified before the West Kingston Commission of Enquiry.

The three-member commission is probing the conduct of the May 2010 police-military operations aimed at capturing Coke.

However, in most cases, residents in Coke’s Tivoli Gardens stronghold who have testified before the commission have maintained that they only knew of the convicted drug kingpin.

Marshall also recounted how Coke “straightened out” her son after he got into trouble at school and later refused to attend.

“Prezi (Coke’s nickname) heard about it and got him into Tivoli Gardens (high school) and on the football team and him (Coke) programme him (her son) and from that him don’t smoke or do nutten like that,” the long time Tivoli Gardens resident said.

Coke is now serving a 23-year sentence in the United States on drug and and gun charges.

New ‘DPG 4 Life’ Film Coming Soon

Dillinger was joking about his DPG 4 Life biopic following the Straight Outta Compton wave, prepare to be surprised. The tireless one-half of Tha Dogg Pound has been especially active on social media as of late and he’s been revealing some key components to the biopic. Such as the actors who are set to play Tupac Shakur, Nate Dogg and Suge Knight in full costume.

“F*c what they talking bout…,” Daz captioned in a message to all his recent critics. “Tell that to the ones who’s making a film who wasn’t there…I call ’em bootleggers. I was there…I know what it [supposed] to look like and sound like. Remember I’m still alive and I’m the music producer to ‘Ambitionz [Az A Ridah]” and ‘[I Ain’t] Mad @ Cha,’ so f*cc ya,” he said, adding a “LOL” at the end.

The latter two references were to the O.G. rapper’s contributions to 2Pac’s diamond-selling All Eyez On Me album. In a separate Instagram post, Daz was adamant that DPG 4 Life is not a sequel to Straight Outta Compton.

As for the casting, the actors have since been revealed as DaDa as Tupac Shakur, Azad Arnaud (an apparent relative of Daz, whose real name is Delmar Arnaud) playing Daz Dilli, Reggie Noble (no, not that Reggie Noble) as Suge Knight, Melvin Jackson Jr. as Kurupt Young Gotti, and Curtis Young Jr. taking a page out of the Straight Outta Compton script and portraying his own father, Dr. Dre. Some unnamed “homey” has also been nabbed to play Nate Dogg.
