10 times Popcaan proved he’s a national treasure

Yeeooooooow!!! Up inna di trends wi gone agen!

Andrae Hugh Sutherland, Woyoi.

First of his name, King of the Unruly, Father

of fry-yiys, burner of spliffs, the great hotskull is a national treasure – at

least that’s the consensus on social media.

His humble beginnings in the Gaza camp as the ‘Prefect’, to his global reach with Canadian rapper Drake and the OVO movement – ‘Poppy’ as he’s affectionately called, has come a long way.

His talent has grown from leaps and bounds, and the only person who could truly stop his upward trajectory is the effervescent Miss Rhona – who he taunts almost daily in his Instagram stories.

In true BUZZ style, we present ten of the most epic times Popcaan proved himself to be one of Jamaica’s national treasures, who should be protected at all costs.

*Dear anti-Dancehall posse, this is a Popcaan appreciation post, so fi all loose talk*YYYY
