Nearly three weeks after his hunger strike protesting Vybz Kartel’s inclusion during Carnival Week, Soca artiste Yankey Boy has shifted his stance.
In a humorous video on his verified Instagram account, Yankey Boy mimicked a hostage situation. The clip featured him clutching a sign that says “I love Dancehall” while reciting a script. The video also shows someone holding a scissor to his head, a fork near his mouth, and another holding a string around his neck. In his caption he declared, “I give up. You all win.”
Yankey Boy, who previously felt Kartel’s booking for the One Caribbean Festival could overshadow Trinidad’s Soca culture, changed his perspective after Kartel’s recent visit to Trinidad to launch his Straight Vybz Rum.
