The
track, Jamaica Miss World, debuted on the singer’s YouTube and Instagram
accounts a mere seven hours after it was announced that the crown would go to
the St Thomas native.
Singh,
23, is now Jamaica’s fourth Miss World with Lisa Hanna copping the crown in
1993, Cindy Breakspeare winning in 1976 and Carole Joan Crawford first winning
the title in 1963.
Jamaica Miss World is
short and catchy, and sees Ganggoolie praising Singh for her incredible feat
and beauty.

The
track is receiving mixed reviews online with some people accusing Ganggoolie of
trying to capitalise off Singh’s moment, while others are lauding the
entertainer for immortalising the moment with a few bars.
Ganggoolie
is no stranger to making music inspired by events in popular culture, and he
has definitely been on a roll this year.
In
April he released the music video for the song Mackerel, rooted in the
popular ‘tek weh people man’ mantra popularised by the Internet sensation.
This
track was soon followed by Wow in July, a collaboration with Internet
personality Candie Baddie.
Ganggoolie is also known for
other songs penned off trending issues like his 2018 tracks, NeymarDance
and LikeSpice.
