[A nuh split or royalty mi a look from Ele enuh, a justice. Jus deal wid mi right - a my dance bring yuh back. Now mi hear im a say "Sweep" but "Sweep" a "Nuh Linga" an "Nuh Linga" a "Log On", so mi no know wah him a try.]



Has anyone heard about Ice's alleged endorsement deal with the sports wear giants, Puma? Hmmm, we see.

On the heels of the big man Usain "Lightning" Bolt sprinting and Gully Creeping his way into the collective hearts of the sporting world, it seemed things were starting to look up for Ice, the creator of the 'Gully Creeper' dance - finally. This, after, he accused his on-and-off-again (Nicole Richie-Paris Hylton-like) best friend, Elephant Man of usurping his glory (READ: "Ice Left Out In the Cold"), and not sharing the wealth acquired as a result of his dance.

But alas! David "Ice" Smith's endorsement deal was only a photoshoot and nothing more...still, no significant financial glory as a result of his dance sweeping the world.

In addition, the outspoken dancer, (who subsequent to the STAR interview in which he aired his grouses with Elephant Man, also appeared on a popular television programme with Ele, who he was again 'mucho mucho' friends with), told Dancehallmuzik.com what his current friendship was like with Elephant Man.

Dancehallmuzik.com: First of all, did you get a Puma deal?

ICE: A no deal enuh, dem jus call mi in fi put on some clothes an take some picture.

DHM: It seems that Elephant Man, as the one who came up with the song, "Gully Creeper" is reaping a lot more rewards than yourself, the creator of the dance, and this is usually the case with deejays, dancers and their creattions; how do you feel about this?

ICE: Well we been creating dances an slangs ova di years an wi no get no credit. A we say, "Wi Mucho Mucho," a we say "Caliente," a we say "Wi Tranquelo," an im tek it an run wid it - nuff people no know say a we say dat.
