Shaggy blows top
GRAMMY-AWARD-WINNING artiste Shaggy unleashed his wrath at stage hands who tried to cut his performance short at the Summerjam in Cologne, Germany, on Sunday.
A clip making rounds on social media shows the entertainer, who was recently conferred with an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Brown University in the United States, in the middle of the set when unidentified personnel attempted to “pack up his gear”.
This sent the It Wasn’t Me singer into a rage.
Reports are that the entertainer had exhausted the time alloted for his set.
He is heard at one point stating: “Everybody ah go over pon dis… tonight.”
Other artistes on Sunday’s line-up were Sara Lugo, Third World, Christopher Martin, and Protoje.
Shaggy has not made any public comment about the incident.
He is also mourning the death of former member of the Alliance, Assailant, who was killed in Los Angeles this week.
Shaggy, whose given name is Orville Burrell, is best known for hit songs like Oh Carolina (1993), Boombastic (1995), It Wasn’t Me (2000), and Angel (2000).
The 53-year-old won in the Best Reggae Album category at the Grammy Awards in 1996 with Boombastic and shared it with Sting for 44/876 in 2019.
