Sean Paul, Justin Bieber
Dancehall superstar Sean Paul has taken exception to Justin Bieber’s recent failure to fully acknowledge Jamaican Dancehall and Reggae for its influence on some of his successful music.
Sorry], are you inspired by Reggae music, Dancehall music?” but he responded, “so the answer is yes, I am inspired by really all music but in particular I love Island music, I love the feel of just the percussion.”
Sean Paul reacted to Bieber’s comments during an interview with
The Entertainment Report, which was aired on Television Jamaica on Friday night. Journalist Anthony Miller had asked Paul why the Dancehall songs laid on Trap beats were “falling on deaf ears internationally” when compared with traditional Dancehall music.
