KINGSTON, Jamaica — Veteran dancehall artiste Beenie Man says he is hurt by comments made by his daughter Desha Davis alleging a lack of financial support from her father following a house gift dispute earlier this year.

Beenie Man, whose given name is Moses Anthony Davis, made the revelation during a Monday interview on The Breakfast Club to promote his upcoming “King of the Dancehall” Tour.

“Sometimes the people that you think aren’t gonna do certain things, they’re the ones that surprise you,” the dancehall artiste said.

Desha had in February taken to social media to disown her father following a house gift dispute. Addressing an Instagram live audience then, the dancer, who is more widely known as Desha Ravers, shared that her father had promised her a home space then retracted the offer once she started showing genuine interest.

“It’s so heartbreaking that it has to come to this, but obviously me and him, we nah go have no ties,” she had said back then, “Because me feel like over the years mi go through so much and mi endure so much and mi stay quiet and everybody feel like him a this good fada, and him always a take care of his pickney dem.”

“Paying school fee is not being a father, and that is all you’ve done for your kids,” she added.

Responding to questions about whether the social media exchange had hurt his feelings, Beenie Man told The Breakfast Club, “Yeah of course.”

“Only your own kid can make you feel a certain way,” he explained. “When you dedicate your life to take care of a person and the person dedicates their life to bringing you down, you’re gonna be hurt.”

“Yes she did hurt some feelings but I move on and I get over that,” he continued.

Addressing whether or not he is now on good terms with his daughter, Beenie Man said, “She’s good. She’s a thirty-odd-year-old woman so she knows the balance of herself.”

“It’s always one thing or the other. Someone asks for one thing and didn’t get it at the time that they want it and just take it out on you but yours is yours and you work for yours so all you have to do it be humble, mild it down and know that’s your daughter,” he shared, adding “She speaks foul things and things that she’s not supposed to speak and those are all lies. It’s not true.”

Using humour to lighten the mood of the conversation, the artiste said, “It’s not like she burst any secrets. The only secret she burst was talking about my Maserati when I didn’t want anyone to know I’m gonna bring it to Jamaica.”
