Dancehall artiste Pamputtae has sought to downplay the hype surrounding her upcoming performance at Toronto’s Pride Parade, noting that it is just one of the stops on her tour of Canada.

“Cause at the end of the day, me haffi pay my bills,” she added.

According to the 37-year-old, her brand is one that doesn’t support discrimination, given what she’s been through in the industry.

“Discrimination inna everything. Remember seh me come inna the music fat and them tell me seh me nah buss cause me too fat and black,” Pamputtae said.

“So, me sing for everybody,” Pamputtae added, noting that her music aims to empower others who are different from the status quo.

The ‘Goody Good’ hitmaker further shared that other stops on her Canadian tour include the country’s capital city, Ottawa as well as Calgary.

According to Pamputtae, after her tour of Canada, she will be heading to the UK, explaining that 2023 is all about expanding her career as she also prepped fans to look out for her acting debut on Netflix.
