Yes congratulations to the Jamaican synchronized swimmers who are featured in Beyoncé’s Black is King video.
There aren’t many blacks involved in this sport so when the artiste needed to feature such swimmers of darker hues the Jamaicans were poised to get the call. Big up🙌🏽🇯🇲

He points out most are without any form of sponsorship & must work regular 9-5 jobs.

“I know the people of Jamaica love my music as everywhere I go they show me love. However, I can’t understand why after 30 yrs of success my country hasn’t seen it fit to honour me for the work that I’ve done in Reggae music.”
RIP Bunny Wailer🙏🏾
Reggae fans around the world are in mourning once more with the passing of Neville O'Riley Livingston, OM.
The 3 times Jamaican Grammy winner & musician extraordinaire was an original member of the legendary The Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.

RIP ...U Roy👑
We have lost a pioneering icon of Jamaican music culture, Ewart Beckford known as Daddy U Roy, the God Father of Dancehall. His legendary ‘toasting’ on sound systems is the precursor to today’s Deejays & Rappers.
Thankful
@IrishandChin
honoured him in 2019🙏🏾
The moment so many are still talking about from
#RebelSalute
night 1, Young Dancehall artiste Jahshii made such an impression with his performance that lead on Mutabaruka addressing him personally at the end of his set.
Two Jamaican stowaways picked up. They hid on a tug boat hoping to reach America but instead miscalculated and jumped off when it reached Montego Bay and were picked up by the coast guard.

Former track rivals Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell catch up in Jamaica where Gatlin is in to cover this weekend’s Racers Grand Prix taking place at the National Stadium.
How fun for the kids😄. School & parents collaborated to bring their ‘hot’ cars to campus for Child’s Day &
@officialasafa
was among them and he signed the drawings the kids did of his car.

Knew it was gonna come to this. Too many Jamaicans do not take accountability for their wrong and have the nerve to threaten this lady who did the public a service by exposing what is probably more common than we know.
The welcome at Piarco International is unmatched, watch Jamaica’s Chris Gayle ‘jump’ right into the revelry as he & thousands of others head to Trinidad for the culmination of their 2023 Carnival season, this weekend into next week Tuesday🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Disgruntled passengers from the UK flight yesterday got angry when told mid flight that they had to go to a government quarantine in St Ann for 48 hours.
It’s always interesting hearing

Big up

So missing 7 days of school is appropriate punishment for that 10 sec clip that showed a faulty fan dangling precariously above kids heads?
The ministry of education never seems to be on the side of the kids’ well being, in these overbearing /power thirsty situations.
@JamaicaObserver
Bless the students who took it upon themselves to take him to get medical help, this is just terrible to watch can imagine his family.
@balleralert
Absolutely nothing is funny about this, instead it’s distasteful and traumatizing to mention that man and the egregious situation he created.
#ShabbaRanks
pleads for older artistes to give younger acts a chance to express themselves.
He says had he listened to his elders including his mom, he would not have won 2 Grammys.
He also warned today’s artistes to be wise & unite against ‘outside’ unscrupulous forces.

Violence at events is a huge problem for the culture. This incident occurred in Canada where a top young Dancehall act was billed to perform last night.
It’s really hard to access venues to keep events associated with Dancehall, we have experienced this in Canada & the UK.
#LeeScratchPerry
spoke of his Upsetter label started in 1968, which featured in the 1970s pioneer of dub music when he began experimenting with remixes by adding various studio effects & unconventional sounds to create new instrumental or vocal versions of existing Reggae tracks.

as part of reparatory justice move. The Jamaican Giant Galliwasp, a species now presumed extinct, is thought to have been collected in the 1850s and became part of Glasgow University's collections in 1888.
The athletes were merely referring to being respected none of them are clamoring for celebrity worship behaviour from Jamaicans, it’s baffling why some interpreted it as such.
The framing & reactions though, shows why some stay away from local media because some are disingenuous
