Tola Radio parts with Percival | Heritage takes legal action

Former talk show host on Tola Radio, Dameon Percival.

It seems the founder of Tola Radio Floyd ‘Heritage’ Burnett has parted ways with his co-host Dameon Percival who has been facing backlash due to funds raised to save his house from foreclosure.

Percival’s home has been placed on the market for a second time after the public raised thousands of dollars to prevent his property from being foreclosed. Many have been asking about the funds that were raised but they say Percival has not explained.

Earlier this week, Percival called the Morning Braff show – a platform which he once used to scrutinise public figures – and accused Burnett and Cindy Rosan of helping to fuel the public backlash he’s facing. He also said both co-hosts have been asking for some of the funds which the public donated.

However, on the August 22 airing of the Morning Braff show, Burnett referred to Percival as his “former employee” and denied asking Percival for a portion of the funds donated to him. He also said he is taking legal action against Percival due to the comments he made.

“Twenty-four hours have passed and this brother has not produced any proof that I have approached him for as much as a red cent,” Heritage stated. “Let it be known that my cease and desist letter has already been sent along with other formal, legal precedence from my lawyer and legal team, via email, Whatsapp and text and there’s a bailiff currently seeking Mr Percival as we speak,” Burnett said.

He continued: “I take these allegations seriously because my integrity is all I have. God blessed me with my businesses and I don’t have anything to fall back on. This is what I use to feed my son. I’m not a thief.”

Heritage went on to explain that he was just as shocked as the public to learn that Percival had not handed over the funds that were raised to the bank that was threatening to sell his home. He also mentioned other discrepancies in statements that Percival made since the funds were raised.

Since news broke that Percival is embroiled in a public scandal over donated funds, the Morning Braff show has been trending in the territory as people have been tuning in to witness the drama unfolding live on air.

No formal statement has been released by Percival and his house remains posted on the National Bank’s website, which is reportedly looking for a buyer to recoup the funds owed.

  4. Who is lying says:

    Not so long ago Sindee said that she had issued legal proceedings and served them on Heritage. Heritage denied he had been served. Somebody lying.
    A search at the a high Court a registry would reveal whether any proceedings were ever issued. Sindee has always refused to produce the proceedings or make any comment about whether she did actually issue them.
    One of them is lying.

    Now you throwing the man under the bus because he spoke his truth. You all must be mindful of what you engage in before taking action because a dog bite with rabies is more dangerous than a mosquito with dengue.

    Hope you learnt your lesson from this one and take your integrity and be a real man and help the man without interest both you and sinful Cindy.

    Phony drama in an attempt to fool the public. Thiefing and scamming is in their DNA.
    Reason why they and their homelands are forever in survival mode.
    BVIslanders knew little about functioning locks until this demographic lot start invading our shores desperately leaving their bountiful natural resourced countries for dry weather Tola where civility existed with a thriving local population.

    @shameful: They both expose how small minded, low educated people of the BVI believe and peddle in untruths so crazy that no thinking person would take them seriously. These media entities are private platforms pretending to be important public institutions. As such they have influence over a portion of the population, even if they are talking absolutely bull crap.

    The house was never taken off auction. From the first time we saw it there and the funds were raised even then it was out of the bank hands. It was in lawyers hands. So while the monies are still sitting on his account even if paid he will still loose the house. That was known from before but never communicated and he was hoping someone would change their minds and allow him to keep him after the payment. So what he did…. he’s been trying to negotiate all this time but luck is not on his side. So the decision still remains..pay and loose the house and keep the monies and invest else where. Transparency was needed from the beginning

    If the house cannot be saved and the bank does not receive this money and he doesn’t give the people back their money basically this would be fraud right?

  33. Well look drama says:

    Dameon stab the person who give him a chance straight in the back. I also believe Heritage is going to have Dameon sitting right back up on Tola Radio soon. Remember last year when Heritage and Cindy had the falling out? He said she could never come back in his studio and now she is sitting in the driver’s seat.

  34. @fact says:

    Please go and ask the minister for communications and works why he continue to victimize dameon even while he was trying to get a taxi license to support himself. But they found money to pay credit card bills, vehicle, sofa and other expenses.

Cindy is a walking grumpy angry drama beacon female. Anything she involved in is always riddled with drama. What ever happened to Cut Deep? She turns on anyone that does align with her mandate. The entire ordeal was destined for doom.
