Jamaican dancehall maestro, Elephant Man drew applause from revellers at Saturday's Smirnoff Street Jam when he had on-stage simulated sex with a Ugandan girl yet to be identified.

A similar act with a 15-year-old girl last year caused trouble for Senegalese-American singer, Akon while in Trinidad and Tobago. In fact, the club was shut down over the incident.

But who cares? This Ugandan girl took herself on stage and when security tried to push her back, Elephant Man replied, "Leave the people alone." And she didn't disappoint him - pulling off all the Jamaican stunts that we have watched in music videos. They are not as easy as you think.

Another girl that yearned to dance with Elephant Man failed to deliver when the singer tried bending her over and she couldn't.

He pushed her aside and called back his 'multi-talented babe' who wowed the fans again.

Like one blogger describes him, Elephant is the best thing since Bob Marley. He is a great dancehall singer and even after a one and half hour's performance, he wasn't about to leave the stage. The singer wanted all his songs sampled.

In a country where smoking in public is prohibited, Elephant Man could not hold his 'thirst for weed' while on stage. He asked for his pipe which he smoked while on stage.

Perhaps he was building on Bobi Wine's earlier message that government should legalize ganja and instead ban homosexuality.

The show had kicked off at 9.30p.m with fireworks.
