Angered by today’s shooting incident concering former Portmore Empire member, Dancehall deejay Blak Ryno in the Waterford Community of Portmore, St. Catherine, Adidjahiem Records President and Portmore Empire leader Vybz Kartel condemns the attack, and issues a firm warning to those who seek to harm the artist:
 
“I condemn today’s shooting in Waterford, and I condemn any attack made on Blak Ryno,” states Kartel firmly. “Regardless of what transpires between the Portmore Empire and Blak Ryno, whether or not he is a part of the Empire,  I will not tolerate any acts of violence against him. ANYBODY who does ANYTHING to Ryno has to answer to me.”
 
Earlier today, the Waterford Police confirmed that shots were fired into a house believed to belong to the family of Romaine “Blak Ryno” Anderson. No one was injured. The incident is currently under investigation.
 
” I express my concern, sympathy, and support for the Anderson family. I urge authorities to act swiftly to deal with this situation,” states Kartel.
 
The shooting comes on the heals of yesterday’s announcement of Ryno’s departure from the Portmore Empire. Ryno had been a member of the Empire since 2007, and released a number of hit singles including “Mek Di Paper,” “Thug Anthem,” ” Real Stingers,” and “Bike Back.”
