Rift between dancehall divas
There is still a rift brewing between dancehall divas Macka Diamond and Lady Saw. According Macka Diamond, Lady Saw needs to stop advertising her Christianity and simply practise it.
She says that it’s a good thing that Lady Saw decided to trade in her dancehall lyrics for the word of God, however, instead of talking about church, she should try going there.
She believes that Lady saw should “go missing off the scene, and go deeper in her spirituality, so there is no need to advertise Christianity like is some form of promotion”.
Macka also stated that she is not convinced of Lady Saw’s Christian calling as she is still dominant in the dancehall scene performing songs.
She claims that if her former colleague was truly changed then she would have put grudges behind her and since she is yet to receive a call, then obviously she has no intention of settling disagreements.
Macka concludes: “If you are a Christian, dancehall is just not the place for you, but she is doing the same things she did before.”
