Paula Mae woulda dead if she hears this

If things get sticky, he can just scrap the anthem part and continue with the song.

[bluefete]

I hope he got permission, in writing, from all those people whose music he sampled in that song.

We are not serious as a people!!

Never was, Never will.

i feel that song was designed for diaspora audiences

cashing in on the trini-in-foreign market
cuz islanders getting more broken every. year
but we happy
apparently
like little caricatures

[Chimera]

All he do is sing the anthem before the start of his song.
I thought he change it up and mix in madness

[matix]

I’m sure there are his supporters out there who will think he wrote it.

[VexXx Dogg]

Nothing like bad publicity in this business.

[pugboy]

Nothing like bad publicity in this business.

THIS?! THIS is what people are "outraged" about in the country right now? THIS?!!!

[The_Honourable]

I don't think there is any outrage as what the media is making this out to be. Just some persons for or against on social media.

Hahahahaha...allyuh dohfoccmehupnah.

Say what allyuh want about Iwer...he's a f**king genius,

The biggest problem with this 'song' is deciding to stand at attention during the anthem part, take a jump, or show yuh hananananan.
