Little Mermaid Live premieres November 5 on ABC.
Shaggy appears to have snagged the role after a video of him critiquing bad Jamaican accent in movies went viral. Sebastian was portrayed as a crab with a Jamaican accent during the cartoon editions of the Little Mermaid book.
American entertainer Queen Latifah will play the villainous Ursula in the musical. Auli’i Cravalho will be the lead character Princess Ariel.
