Tributes are pouring in for the late veteran reggae singer, Colvin ‘Cocoa Tea’ Scott.

The 65-year-old reportedly passed away early this morning at a hospital in Florida, in the United States.

Among those expressing condolences to his loved ones is Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

In a social media post, Mr. Holness said Cocoa Tea’s smooth vocals and compelling lyrics, resulted in timeless classics like “Rocking Dolly” and “I Lost My Sonia,” songs that have become anthems in Jamaica’s cultural landscape.

He added that cocoa tea was a beacon of kindness and generosity, consistently uplifting the less fortunate.

Opposition Leader, Mark Golding, in a social media post, said Cocoa Tea’s artistry, talent, and message of love and unity will live on forever.
