UPDATED - IN THE PRESS:

Sting Bans Sizzla & D'Angel [Jamaica Star 12/31/2013]
Dancehall artistes D'Angel and Sizzla Kalonji are facing the wrath of Supreme Promotions boss Isaiah Laing, after the two behaved in a less-than-complimentary manner at Sting 30 last week.
Sizzla will no longer be able to perform at Sting, while D'Angel won't even be able to enter the venue during the event. […]The ban comes as a result of Sizzla's set where he reportedly went against agreed-upon protocol to lambaste homosexuality on several occasions.[…] FULL ARTICLE HERE

Saw Says Sorry [Jamaica Observer 1/1/2014]
Lady Saw, who was declared winner of the clash, is today apologising for her behaviour on stage, calling it demeaning and degrading to women.

"There are a lot of people rejoicing for me out there after the clash at Sting, but there is really nothing to rejoice about," she said in a telephone interview with the Jamaica Observer.

"I am not happy about my performance and behaviour. I have stayed away from such clashes over the years, and always said I would never clash with another female artiste as I find it degrading to women and so I have always avoided a clash," a penitent-sounding Lady Saw continued.[…] FULL ARTICLE HERE

Wyclef, 2Chainz & Super Cat (joined on stage by 9-year-old Wayne J) performed from 12am to 2am, followed by Lady Saw, who was joined shortly by Macka Diamond for a clash! Lady Saw killed Macka!

Tommy Lee Sparta, Aidonia, Beenie Man appeared next and Ninjaman marked the end of the cable pay-per-view close to 4am. D'Angel joined Beenie Man and Ninjaman on stage during their sets.

Next were Mavado, Josey Wales & Brigradier Jerry & Admiral Bailey, Burro Banton & Peter Metro & Major Mackerel and I Wayne... then at 5:35am Sizzla Kalonji took over and was obviously in a war mood burning the FIRE hot!

Kip Rich entered the stage around 6:30, but before the 30,000 US-$ clash started, the pay-per-view LIVE-Stream was stopped and left thousands of viewers frustrated. Sting's facebook is full of complaints!

 
According to recent tweets Black Ryno won the clash against Kip Rich and Mad Cobra!
