I-Octane is often criticised for

making “badmind” and “friend killers” key topics in his music, but he defends

his reasons for prioritising these messages in a recent Instagram post.

The Day One Friends singjay shared an animation video (done by

filmmaker Prince Angelo) about a green-eyed man who hires a hitman to murder

his friend. His motive? “If mi cya mek it, him cya mek it either.”

The video brought out an

impassioned I-Octane.

“WEN MI SING BOUT DEM THING YAH

[SUM BIG PU**Y ARTIST BOY] LOVE RUN GO PON DI NET GO TALK BOUT OCTANE SING TOO

MUCH ABOUT FAKE PEOPLE AND SUM FOOL FOOL FANZ A FOLLOW DEM A CHAT F**KRY TOO,”

he said. “BUT UNNU GWAN TRUST TRUST PEOPLE AND WATCH WAT AGO HAPPEN TO UNNU

R*SS…. AS SAD AS DIS VIDEO IS… DIS ADI THINGS DEM WEH A HAPPEN INNA REAL

LIFE… ANYWAY MI STILL A SAY WI NUH LIKE FRIEND KILLA.”

Followers, also shaken up by the

video, encouraged I-Octane to continue singing songs which denounce envy.

“Real talk bro, nuh stop bun

dem,” said selector Tony Matterhorn.

“Don’t stop sing bout dem, mi

love yuh song dem,” one user added.

“No joke fam memba u seh study yo

frenz dem cause dem a study yo,” another referenced.

“Real talk mi artist, bun fren

killa.”

Among I-Octane’s most popular

releases about these matters are Badmind

Dem A Pree featuring Bounty Killer, Badmind

Fi Di Year, Hurt By Friends and

the 2020 release Friend Killa.
