The information was blown out of proportion,” Deva Bratt said.The artist, that got bail, has so far recorded two songs making reference to the situation, one titled Consider Mi, produced by Nothing To Something Records.
Deva Bratt says the song is unreleased, but speaks of the misinformation that was spread against his name. The other song is called Give It To You and is an attempt for the artist to clear his name.At the time of his arrest, Deva Bratt was expected to embark on his European tour, and had to postpone shows in Belgium and Amsterdam.“My apologies to my fans and the people who are disgusted by the rumors. I am not a womanizer nor am I an abuser of women, we live and we learn, and you are never too big to learn,” he says.The artist is scheduled to leave the island for performances in Amsterdam and Switzerland shortly, and is expected to return just in time for his court date on August 14, to answer to charges of indecent assault.
