‘Corona mash up mi life’: Popcaan, Quada among dancehall acts longing for the stage

The coronavirus has devastated industries worldwide, perhaps none more so than entertainment.

As many sectors continue to recover from the virus impact, entertainment largely remains at a standstill in most countries. Live shows, touring, concerts, theatres and more continue to be paused as social distancing measures remain in place to stem the COVID-19 spread.

One

artiste who is surely feeling the effect is Popcaan, who yesterday posted a

picture of himself performing in front a large crowd with the caption, “jah

know me miss stage show yo f**kâ€, adding several sad emojis for good measure. The

Party Shot artiste continued, “ppl

how much more longer unu think before we can do this again?â€

Popcaan’s

OVO label head, Drake, replied, “Next unruly fest will be a mawdddaz†to which

Popcaan replied, “no joke braâ€.

Dancehall

act Quada added his sentiments with, “Corona mash up mi life. Anytime the place

free up a trouble any stage show unruly touchâ€

Reggae

artiste Jesse Royal dropped three emojis that showed he was also disheartened

by the downturn in entertainment.

Dancer

Desha Ravers added, “A swear I miss it tooâ€.

Numerous

fans shared their sympathies with the artiste and his contemporaries who have

seen much of their livelihood put on pause since mid-March.

However,

in a moment of clarity, one commenter shared, “The longer wi tek fi hear fi wear yuh mask, social distance

and wash u hand. Wi will be locked inside for a LOONG time. Just have to do

this until the virus ‘calm down’. It ruff. But we are the solution to this

problem.â€

We couldn’t

agree more!
