Assassin and Video Director Warring over Video

In what has turned out to be a he said she sad battle, Video director Julia Braham are warring over alleged monies owed to her for the production of the Assassin music video for Money Machine. According to www.outaroad.com Assassins brother Manager, Gareth Campbell is on the offensive. Campbell who has been Assassin's manager from his earliest rise in dancehall is adamant that �negligence and a lack of professionalism on the part of Braham led to the falling out.�

Campbell claims they paid the director 300k via money wire transfer to do the �Don�t Make me Hold You� video. After sometime Ms. Braham was unable to produce the edited version and subsequently informed them that the footage was lost due to a damaged hard drive. Campbell claimed they were lenient and allowed her to redeem herself by filming the other video. �On the day of the shoot I went in my pocket and spent over $200,000.00 - I even paid for the crane that gave her the aerial shots. We wrapped on the Money Machine video and the footage was sent again to the same Editor for editing and then a day after the shoot she called me about additional expense�. Campbell said he was already doing Braham a favor by not taking his money elsewhere and despite him being understanding and cognizant of the fact she didn�t have the original deposit she still threw it back in his face. �I cant understand how we owe her money, you know what we even took the damaged hard drive and sent it to a Data Recovery specialist in Connecticut to see if we could get back the work and they said someone had opened the drive and tried fixing it which cause the footage to be lost and she didn�t tell us this�.

What makes it even more hurtful Campbell laments was the fact that for the first video which was shot in Kintyre Papine the whole community turned out to support Assassin and was distraught when they heard the video had been scrapped. �Julia Braham is unprofessional, how can you not have a backup of such important data, your clients depend on you to produce a clean edited version and you give a silly excuse about it falling then try and get more money by calling and talking about you have to get it by will or by force. She even threatened to lick me in my face, like a badness she wa bring�.

With the video now out Gareth insists that the business transaction though spoiled is complete and says Julia is on her own. �She basically was like on the day of the shoot she had to provide food for the ground crew but that�s not my responsibility so she need to sort that out her self�.
