According to ‘Heads High‘ deejay Mr. Vegas, Vybz Kartel and Spice’s dominance in Dancehall has left a negative impact on the genre, he made the statement while critiquing Spice’s performance at Popcaan’s Unruly Fest held in London, England over the weekend.
Before making his bold statement, he informed his viewers on his most recent live chat that he was in Dancehall before he became a popular artiste, hence he knows a lot about the business, highlighting that the lyrics being used in songs nowadays could not have been used back in the days.
With regards to Spice, Mr. Vegas expressed that she has no “talent” and often times draws for theatrics while performing, he stated, “Spice, pan di woman dem side, with no talent when it comes on to being a recording artiste, she’s not a great talent, great stage performer if yuh wah call it that with har one bag a theatrics.”
He highlighted a controversial moment during her performance over the weekend in England, “one time that cuddnt gwaan inna Dancehall, man a guh pan stage and skinout, nuh man!… dem nuh have nuh boundaries… Spice totally destroy the fabric of Dancehall,” he stated.
