Dancehall singjay Vegas has given credence to Prime Minister Andrew Holness’ comments in Parliament that some lyrical content in Dancehall music has contributed to the widespread violence that is wreaking havoc across Jamaica.
The
Hot Wuk deejay, who took exception to recent statements made by Dancehall aritst Cham, explained that art and artists have an effect on the people and the content of the art is what determines whether it is received negatively or positively.
“He (Baby Cham) refuses to accept responsibility that our music, that our lyrical contents in the music, we as influential people, the lyrical content that is in our music, he failed to point out that, of course, it is also impacting society, when it comes on to crime and violence,” deejay Vegas countered in an Instagram video two days ago.

The revelation and assurance came from the company yesterday after it was taken to task by several Jamaican skeptics, who said they hope it was not seeking to exploit
Brand Jamaica for selfish gain, by unveiling the line which carries the Jamaica Trek, Desert Jamaica and the Jamaica Bees and which is part of their Spring 2021 collection.
