A recent interview with Mr. Vegas and Chin from Love Chat Radio has sparked controversy after Vegas explained how the SingJay category came about in Dancehall.
Vegas stated that the category was established in 1998 when he rose to prominence.
His comments prompted a strong video response from veteran entertainer Little John, who accused him of disrespecting elders in the industry.
Selector Foota Hype supported Little John by reposting the video on his timeline with the caption, “Little John say show you elder some respect.”
Mr. Vegas later responded, clarifying that he never claimed to have created the term “SingJay.” Instead, he explained that the category was formally recognized in Dancehall around the time of his breakthrough.
The exchange has fueled debate among fans and industry insiders about the history and recognition of the SingJay style in Dancehall.
