YardFlex.com: Ninja’s daughter distraught at alleged beating of dad

Samantha Ballentyne, the daughter of incarcerated dancehall deejay Desmond ‘Ninjaman’ Ballentyne, is distraught over reports that her father has been beaten in prison.
“I can’t believe that this is happening to him. I saw him two weeks ago and it was bad. But now for me to hear that he has been beaten … this just hurts,” the 18 year-old said from her home in Switzerland.
According to Samantha’s mother Joy, the deejay is having a rough time.
“I should be elsewhere but I am here because of Samantha. She loves her dad a lot and she is worried about him, so I am here just trying to do whatever I can to help Desmond. Ninja is a kind guy and he has given away a lot to people, but when he needs help where are these people?” Joy asked.
She explained that the whole situation erupted, ironically, after Samantha paid her father a visit just before leaving for Switzerland and gave him some money.
“The reports are that the money was taken from him and that caused the problem that led to him getting a fist in his face,” Joy explained.
“I am just waiting for a call to hear that he is out on bail,” a tearful Samantha, who deejays under the moniker Ninja Princess declared.
Ninjaman, who has been refused bail on numerous occasions, has been behind bars for nearly two years. He is now an inmate at the Horizon Remand Centre in Kingston.
Ninjaman, along with his 20 year old son and two others have been charged with murder, conspiracy to murder, shooting with intent and illegal possession of a firearm in connection with the death of a 20 year-old man in March 2009.
He returns to court on February 11.
