Kama OG Reflects on Bandandy Skeete in Queensflip Trinidad Vlog

Kama OG Speaks on Bandandy Ski’s Death During Queensflip’s Trinidad Visit

When Kama OG walked through Trinidad with OG Origin Stories, the moment wasn’t about clout or controversy. It was about legacy.

His emotional reflection on the late Dylan “Bandandy” Skeete came during the highly discussed Trinidad vlog by Queensflip, who traveled to St. Paul — one of the most volatile communities in East Port of Spain — to understand what truly happened the night Bandandy lost his life.

A Death That Still Echoes in St. Paul

Queensflip’s visit wasn’t surface-level content. He walked through the neighborhood, spoke directly with residents, and confronted difficult questions surrounding the killing of Bandandy — a figure many in the community describe as fearless, loyal, and protective of his people.

Bandandy rose as a prominent presence in East Port of Spain, particularly within the younger generation connected to Roster City. His name became intertwined with long-standing tensions in the area, including friction between older anti-drug community factions and emerging street influences.

Locals expressed a consistent belief: Bandandy was unjustly targeted.

The vlog even documents Queensflip attempting to question former National Security Minister Gary Griffith about the case — a move that underscored how serious and unresolved the situation remains for many residents.


Kama OG: “I Told Him His Name Would Live On”

During the WWETV OG Origin Stories segment filmed while Queensflip was on the island, Kama shared something deeply personal.

He spoke about having a feeling something tragic was going to happen.

He recalled telling Bandandy that no matter what, his name would live on.

Bandandy had thanked him for the opportunity to be part of the film “YANK (You Ain’t No Killa)” — a moment Kama says meant more now than ever.

It wasn’t just about a movie credit.
It was about validation.
It was about being seen.

And in communities like St. Paul, that matters.


More Than a Vlog — A Community Reckoning

Queensflip’s Trinidad journey went beyond storytelling. A significant part of the vlog focused on restoring the long-abandoned Rose Hill Community Center, inactive for nearly a decade.

His plan:

  • Renovate the space

  • Create a safe haven for children

  • Fund events personally (no government, no sponsors)

  • Dedicate the effort to Bandandy’s memory

He spoke about providing:

  • Study spaces

  • Recreational areas

  • Bouncy castles, food, and gifts for kids

  • A sense of hope in a place often defined by headlines

The message was clear — if systems fail, community must respond.


The Cycle of Violence & The Search for Unity

The vlog also highlights:

  • The breakdown of former friendships

  • The rise of rival factions

  • The psychological toll of living in constant tension

  • The absence of sustained governmental investment

What once was described as tight-knit unity has fractured.

But voices like Kama’s represent something different — preservation of story and legacy.


Why This Moment Matters

For WWETV’s OG Origin Stories, this wasn’t just content.

It was documentation.

It was cultural archiving.

It was ensuring that when conversations happen about St. Paul, they include the voices of those who lived it — not just those who report on it.

Bandandy Skeete’s name continues to carry weight in East Port of Spain. Whether viewed as controversial, heroic, misunderstood, or all of the above — his impact is undeniable.

And through interviews like Kama OG’s, that impact is recorded.
