The management team of recording artiste Gage has denied allegations by websites that his voice was used to mimic Tommy Lee Sparta's, in the recently released audio of a male, said to be Tommy Lee Sparta, who cried during a conversation.

According to Gage's manager, Neil, Tommy Lee Sparta's management is trying to do damage control by dragging Gage into the fracas because he has a similar voice.

"The websites are trying to give Tommy Lee a buzz and Tommy Lee dem a try repair dem thing by making up stuff like dat. Gage don't duh nothing like dat. as a matter of fact, Gage did not even know about the audio," he said.

"Gage's personal selector told us about Tommy Lee's incident and Gage nuh have nuh time fi dat, its garbage. Tommy Lee is just looking a comeback, and what he needs to do is just mek some good song," he said.

The manager also had advice for persons helping to spread the allegations. "Stop spread rumour, and find out real facts. Leave the deejay alone, a studio him deh a mek good music," Neil said.

Gage recently released a new single, featuring a Vybz Kartel sample, New King. The deejay's voice is sometimes compared to that of Tommy Lee Sparta. however, the two have not been very fond of each other and have released songs throwing jabs at each other in recent times.

Tommy Lee Sparta's business partner and publicist, Keona Williams, recently told THE weekend STAR the artiste claimed to have had no knowledge as to the origin of the audio.

Tommy Lee Sparta is promoting new UIM Records-produced singles, Wine Up and Dream.
