Squash Defends Producer Shab Don In New Song “No Doubt” After ‘Sir P’ Allegations

Just last week, following the release of Kyodi’s latest song, Asset, which seems to have taken aim at popular Jamaican YouTuber, ‘Sir P’, Dancehall fans were loosely left with hints as to whether or not the young guns of the genre were finally acting against the former serviceman’s allegations. Two days ago, however, Squash removed all doubt when he all but said Sir P’s name in a fiery 3-minute-and-23 second track, titled No Doubt, targeting the allegations popularized by the YouTuber, all while reminding his fans that the 6ixx is all about loyalty and trust. Ironically, the song – which sits at No. 7 on YouTube’s Trending Music chart at the time of this writing – is produced by Shab Don Records (Vybz Kartel’s Any Weather, Teejay’s Henne And Weed and Shub Out), more specifically, Shab Don, one of the main subjects of Sir P’s recent exposé.

Squash kicks off the surprise track with a word of reassurance to Shab Don, telling him, “Yow Shab Don, nuh watch nutn, yuh hear dat?” As the track rolls on, fans are treated to a catchy hook that’s as relatable as it is defiant, particularly in light of the allegations directed at the seasoned producer.

The 6ixx boss sings: “Do dis fi mi dawg dem cause mi naah no doubt, dawg dem yow a mi dawg dem yow, bredda from anedda madda nah let go, cyaa let go, friendship a so it go…” Immediately following that hook, Squash wasted no time in getting gritty, direct and frank.

“Dem nuh know how e guh, Shab Don dem want fi setup,
If a you kill mi bredda mi woulda mus’ f@#k yuh up,
A nuh disrespect mi G, you a mi fam, mi love yuh,
But some p@%&y jus’ a talk and dem nuh know how e guh,
Waan fi get mi corrupt, bag a tings fi stir up,
Instigator instigating jus’ fi get yuh picture,
See a Babylon di p@%&y dem a sen’ fi kill yuh,
Wi a family we grow together bredda we nuh live suh…”

For those unaware, a video released on the 12th of September on the Politricks Watch YouTube channel – which alleged that Shab Don, whose real name is Linval Thompson Jr., is now Montego Bay’s top violence producer – provided much of the inspiration behind Squash’s spirited delivery in No Doubt.

The lines, “Dem nuh know how e guh, Shab Don dem want fi setup, if a you kill mi bredda mi woulda mus’ f@#k yuh up” make reference to the tragic incident in 2017 in which Squash’s brother, 20-year-old Daniel Whittaker, also called ‘Dan Dan’, was killed in an alleged confrontation with the police. And, despite a number of theories being bandied about at the time surrounding the youngster’s death, Sir P’s recent allegations that not only is Shab Don a snake, but that he is partly responsible for Whittaker’s demise, seem to have gotten Squash sufficiently worked up.

He insists: “…some p@%&y jus’ a talk and dem nuh know how e guh”, suggesting that Sir P, or others like him, couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Instigator instigating jus’ fi get yuh picture” is a telling line in Squash’s rebuttal, which may be further proof that he is referring specifically to the Politricks Watch frontman – Sir P. At exactly the 2:08 mark in Sir P’s 36 minutes-long video, a clear picture of Shab Don is revealed, which is shortly followed by some tone-setting remarks by the YouTuber.

Prior to revealing the photo – which Squash may be referring to with the aforementioned lines, Sir P explained that he had to do “a lot of digging” to find Shab Don’s mugshot, and that he came up short in his attempt to get pictures of the producer behind bars. Just why was this a big deal? Readers should know that one of Shab Don’s signature styles is that his face is almost never seen in photos, so – to use Sir P’s words – to unmask the Trap Dancehall producer was no doubt a big deal and went a long way in asserting his allegations.

But Squash makes it clear throughout the song that he remains unfazed by Sir P’s allegations, and cites that history between himself and Shab Don transcends any issues that may arise between the two of them.

For Squash, whose real name is Andre Whittaker, the rest of the song is a humble admission of his humanity and the reality that though disagreements surface between friends, friendship wins out each and every time. He cements this by highlighting that even amidst being disrespected by one of his friends recently, he refused to let harm him befall him, driving home the sentiment that despite the fiery nature of the song, it’s really a heartfelt track about pain, compassion and understanding. Fans will notice, as well, that Squash chose a cover art for the song that would honor his brother, Daniel, his former associate and long-time friend, DJ National, and a few other close friends he’s lost on his journey.

What prevails now between Sir P and the Dancehall artists who’ve called him out can hardly be defined as a beef, but these subtle jabs are certainly the makings of one. If anything, this is all a sign that some Dancehall acts have decided to trade in their silence for a chance at respect or notoriety, even if it ultimately means Sir P will focus his seemingly extensive investigative resources on them.
