Grammy Award-winning dancehall artiste Sean Paul has taken the decision to cancel his New Year's Eve performance in The Maldives, following death threats the artiste recently received.
In a post to the artiste's wall on Facebook, Sean Paul acknowledged the threat, but thanked the government and the people of Maldives for having invited him to perform.
"As a Jamaican reggae musician, I have always promoted love and unity of all cultures, races and religions. Unfortunately, the world has reached a point where cyber threats must affect real life decisions. With that said, due to safety concerns for my crew and the people of The Maldives attending the Tourist Arrival Countdown, it is with deep regret that I have come to the difficult decision to cancel my appearance," the post read.
"I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the government and the people of The Maldives for their invitation and wish for them peace," it continued.
Recently, Sean Paul was to meet with his Headline Entertainment team over the threats he had received from an extremist Islamic group.
The group had threatened to kill the artiste if he performed in the Islamic nation.
