*Important Notice*: Make sure to share this petition with as much people as possible: friends, news outlets, influencial figures, meme pages and like so we truly make this have an impact.

Recently the studio responsible for producing the

"Station X" riddim (Impulse Productions) which featured a song by artistes, Noydie Glow & Scatter, called "Bop" was removed from all streaming platforms due to the outrage of the parents of a girl who is allegedly the person being described in the song. This allegation has arisen based on the fact that she irresponsibly recorded herself engaging in a certain act and the song apparently describes said act. We believe that this song is a form of social commentary, or even basic reporting through music as the artistes give no actual opinion on the girl's use of "D Bop" neither do they use her name or any form of alias, hence it should not be taken down. Based on that logic, if an article were to be written on the incident in, say, the Grenada Informer, the parents' outrage could constitute a removal of the article. However, we in Grenada have freedom of expression and are able to make our opinions heard on any public platform, through any means. Whether it be by song, news article or the like. With that said, if you, like us, also agree that we should be free to express our thoughts on public matters regardless of the medium we do it by, please sign this petition to Free D Bop. #airfreshener


This also goes to all young artistes, radios personalities, entertainers and news media personnel. If a story is made public and you report or comment on through whatever medium you choose, you are NOT doing anything wrong! The responsibility is on the people involved in the incident to keep it private or to not engage in the activity in the first place.

I am in total disagreement with the removal of this song, with this removal the attention going right back to that video that was circulating on sicial media. However the artist owning that hit tune did not call any nane and so there are no evidence saying that the song was written for any particular individual. We need to stop giving peoples expression meaning. Look at scholar calypso song last year.....seetahal don't like pumpum at all. Did that get any form of stoppage. No so we need to leave that song playing otheriwse that video will be circulated again. Carnival is over, we may block that song but many of us already bought it on itunes or download it. So there will still be played in private vehicles and across the globe.

This young did her do where she was very comfortable and happy doing it , if the video didn't go viral all now she would have pleasure herself wit the bop and airfreshner, these guy sang their song they didn't call no name so she shouldn't have their song off the market , because these guys effort on singing and it's something they love doin , this young lady is responsible for her actions , she already got satisfaction by taking the girl to court where she has to pay a large lonesome, free the bop please thanks

This song doesn't deserve to be banned it was a great part of this year's carnival. Also, no direct name or person was involved in the making of this song. #FreeTheBop

They cannot band the song cause no name was mentioned and no description was given and secondly the young girl should conduct her self maturely and keep their stuff private
