Popcaan, Squash Trade Subliminal Shots On Instagram Over The ‘Foot’ Slang, Dance

Dancehall entertainer Squash has made it clear that Popcaan does not intimidate him after a leaked audio recording surfaced with the Unruly Boss throwing jabs over ownership of the “foot” dance and slang.

In the muffled recording, the Silence deejay is heard explaining to artist Harry Toddler that the dance move he just executed was called “feet.” He also suggested that Squash, who has a popular song and dance titled Foot, had appropriated the “style.”

“Yuh si some man feet an’ a talk bout foot. Ba–tyman Squash!” Popcaan grumbled in the clip.

Unlike Poppy, who perhaps made his declaration in confidence and among close friends, Squash took to Instagram to assert himself.

“A joke ting diss 🤣 kmt me not even a medz deh likkle suck wood ediot boy deh song dem 🙄 much-less have yiy fi see em,” Squash wrote in an IG Story yesterday. “Tell deh likkle sadomite deh fi know em self kaah me and em anuh the same me a badman ina real life.”

He added: “Chip Glock now dem fraid yf 🤣😂”

Popcaan then appeared to double down on the private comments, writing on his own Instagram Story, “Anything Unruly say we defend that!! S–k yuh muma!”

In another post, Squash said he wouldn’t engage in a back-and-forth but made it clear that he was addressing Popcaan by mentioning the deejay’s mother, Miss Rhona, and other family members.

The Salt Spring, Montego Bay native released the track Foot, with matching visuals via his YouTube channel as a collaborative production with World Team Production and 6ix Real Records last July.

Since then, it has racked up over 5.8 million views.

Meanwhile, Popcaan has been using his relatively new “trouble, foot, feet” catchphrase and showing off his dance moves throughout the pandemic months, and most recently in the intro for his Drake collab, We Caa Done.

If both men decide to escalate matters into a lyrical battle, this certainly wouldn’t be the first rodeo for either of them as they have separately gone to war with Alkaline in previous years. 

Squash is no stranger to controversy and has repeatedly tried to clear his name from wrongdoings. Contrary to his warning to Popcaan, the deejay described himself as embodying multiple positive traits in an interview with Onstage’s Winford Williams last summer.

“You see me now, me is not a violent man, people out there might see 6ixx boss and have me as violent, but I am a jovial person, me loving and kind, fun, mi like happiness, me nuh like sadness,” he told Williams at the time in South Florida.

Squash also expressed his love for Jamaica but spoke out about his discomfort with “the system”, and what he describes as “corruption” within his circle as contributing factors for leaving the island.

“Mi cyah tek the hold down in Jamaica and corruption in my little circle, Jamaica small bad enuh, the world big and Jamaica have too much corruption in one little environment and mi cyah deal wid it,” he explained.

“Me is not a violence producer enuh Winford, a love alone mi preach to the whole a di youth dem, Salt Spring a mi place, mi love every youth, mi love everybody just the same. Mi nuh preach violence, di youths can tell you, mi never tell a youth fi go shoot this or that person,” he insisted.

Earlier this week, an associate of the Ambala deejay, Jahreme ‘JMan’ Shelton, retained a new lawyer to defend his double murder case in a Florida court.

Squash’s new releases include Mission on Friday (March 3), and Midnight, on February 24.
