As expected, when Beyoncé and Jay-Z were spotted filming video footage in Jamaica yesterday, residents turned out in numbers. The duo, accompanied by an entourage that included local police, arrived in the area at noon on March 20. They shot scenes along Collie Smith Drive and Fifth Street, where Bob Marley once lived.
However, according to one local resident, things weren’t has peaceful and inviting as they may have seemed. A woman in Trenchtown, Jamaica is claiming she was forced out of her home, and then arrested for refusing to hand over her footage of Beyoncé and Jay during their visit. The woman tweeted the following:
“Oh wow Beyoncé went to Jamaica and paid the police to stop people from taking pictures and videos of her. The police are entering homes and confiscating property. Beyoncé is going too far this time! #BoycottBeyoncé #BeyoncéInJamaica”
“The officers said they saw me take 360 photos and said if we didn’t let them in they can breach the premises. They threaten us saying they had snipers. Like really now?? I wanted to laugh but couldn’t.”
Take a look at both tweets below. At the time of this article, Bey and Jay’s reps have not spoken out in regards to the accusations. What do you guys think?
