TeeJay Issues Apology To St. Lucia After Negative Comments About Island’s Economy

Dancehall artiste TeeJay has had to tuck his tail between his legs after recently taking a joke too far. The gag came at the expense of St. Lucia and what he insinuated was their dilapidated economy.

In a heated comeback on Instagram sometime in October, the Up Top Boss aimed insults at “some bwoy” referring to his girl as ‘ill-shaped’ and comparable to what he said was St. Lucia’s economy.

“Hey bwoy, some a unuh b*bole bwoy and gyal need fi go look wuk enuh. Unuh get up everyday pon man name and unuh nuh own nutten inna life. Some a unuh gyal shape like St Lucia economy,” he ranted on in the post.

This seemingly went unnoticed, especially to Jamaicans then, but St. Lucians have apparently caught wind of Teejay’s loose comments, and now the deejay has had to issue a public apology almost two months later.

“St Lucia, St Lucia. Just wanna say my apologies straight from mi heart, pon the name a God, pon di name a mi children. Only love, only music,” he said regrettably in an apologetic video.

He further explained, “We a entertainer, so we entertain people. We laugh, we talk about serious things and make joke at it cause we have life and life is the greatest thing. So, mi just waa say only love. Love only, St Lucia, my people. And mi respect unuh 1,000, one billion times. Mi nuh want unuh tek dat ting too serious,” then ended by singing a verse from his single, From Rags To Riches.

Where so much time has passed, many of his followers were confused by his apology.

Several fans from St. Lucia were unaware of Teejay’s statement but accepted the apology nonetheless.

“Big up yourself Nuff respect💯We accept your apology 💯,” said one fan, and “No hard feelings on this side,” added another. Also, “We love you too🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨,” followed with a string of many more supporting comments.
