Shenseea Not “Freaky Enough” For Bobby Shmurda
Like his idol Vybz Kartel said over a decade ago, Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda says he too loves “freaky girls” and joked that Blessed singer Shenseea was too “sweet” to make the cut.
During a backstage linkup with DJ Akademiks after an Off The Record episode last Friday (April 22), Shmurda was nudged to do a song with Shenseea. To the surprise of many, including Akademiks, Bobby responded by saying, “Shenseea, she not freaky enough for me,” but he quickly rescinded “Nah I’m playing, I’m playing.”
The Hot N-gga rapper also declared: “I like a nasty girl”, before breaking out to Vybz Kartel’s 2011 Freaky Gal (Juleen) track. In his usual enthusiastic delivery, Shmurda sang the lyrics out aloud, “Freaky gal, a dem gyal me love…”
Akademiks was sure to inform Bobby that Shenseea was as ‘freaky’ as they come. “What you mean? Shenseea?… Shenseea is a different type of freak though,” he said, likely alluding to her Dancehall catalog and her controversial (in Jamaica) stance on oral sex, among several other things.
But Bobby, who is of Jamaican parentage, contended: “She is sweet, I feel like she is sweet.”

Shenseea’s catalog includes ‘freaky’ songs like Foreplay, Bad Habit, Tie Me Up, Limited Edition, Good Comfort, and her more recent, Lick, R U That, Bouncy, to name a few.
The Dancehall singer has also been quite open about her sex life in several interviews. Just last month she made headlines admitting she can get pretty ‘nasty’ in the bedroom with Angela Yee on a Breakfast Club interview. Prior to that, Shenseea also appeared on Yee’s Lip Service and shared details of some of her other “kinky” preferences.
Since branching over into the US market, Shenseea has been upsetting local music enthusiasts and music peers, who think she has been going against her culture, especially after the January-released Lick with Megan Thee Stallion. Though still out of the norm for Jamaican female deejays to endorse reciprocal oral sex, Shenseea has picked up the baton from fellow singer Ishawna, who faced the wrath of many critics for her game-changing track Equal Rights.
Among male deejays, Cham is thought to have first raised the subject in 1998’s Boom. However, it was Vybz Kartel’s Freaky Gal (Juleen) and Freaky Gal Part 2 that opened the lyrical flood gates on oral sex in Dancehall content in 2011. Both songs were produced by Rvssian.
In 2012, he further extended his love for freaky girls in Part 3, which was produced by TJ Records.
