On Monday, he posted a Facebook video that frightened Belizeans all across the country, and, today, the artist named Cross Di Nitro went to court to answer for it.
His real name is Shikell Nunez, and he is a 24 year old rapper. Today in court, he was charged with threat of death before Magistrate Stephanie Gillett.
Nunez pled not guilty to the charge. The prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds that the offence is a serious one and if tolerated it can become more serious.
In response Nunez said that on the day he made the video clip he was frustrated and he had overreacted with certain words. He said he was in fear of his life and the life of his manager, Kenneth "Big Tom" Flowers. Magistrate Gillett upheld the objection and she remanded Nunez into custody until December 11.
The complaint against him was made by Andres Makin, the head of the GSU, who said that he viewed a video clip in which Nunez, threatened members of the GSU and their families with death. Makin reported that Nunez said he would use hand grenades and guns to carry out his threat.
