Aug 5th 2008, www.one876ent.com reported Deva Bratt was granted bail on his court case, however, they continued to report that based on information from Portmore Empire insiders he was not a member and is not signed to the organization. Deva Bratt responds in an exclusive interview with PRGirlAngel.



Deva Bratt states he created Portmore Empire when Kartel was an alliance member. At that time Deva Bratt was in a feud with Aidonia, Munga and Busy. He goes on to say that subsequently, Kartel was thrown out of alliance by Bounty Killer. Kartel realized that Deva Bratt had the perfect name, and perfect idea. Deva states, Kartel took it and licensed it in his name, without Deva Bratt being named as the founder of Portmore Empire. Next, Kartel tried to sign Deva Bratt as an artist, to the newly-licensed, Portmore Empire, but Deva Bratt refused. He states this was because, instead of Kartel licensing Portmore Empire with him as a business partner, he simply wanted to sign him as an artist, and have full ownership of the Portmore Empire name. Deva Bratt says he never made this an issue because he was content that he was making music and doing what he loved. Throughout his incarceration there have been rumors of turmoil within Portmore Empire, however Deva Bratt has remained neutral about the rumors. He says the reason insiders would say he is not a part of the Empire is because, some dont respect the fact that he is someone who leads and will not succumb to the trends and hype of others around him. An example would be Alliance vs Portmore Empire. Even when Kartel and Mavado was at war, Deva Bratt continued to hail Mavado, Bounty and other Alliance members. In closing he states Deva Bratt built Portmore Empire, Portmore Empire never built Deva Bratt



In regards to his court case Deva confirms that yes he was granted bail, and also wants to thank his fans and supporters for believing in him and holding the faith.
