I just watched him on local TV - he has an album launch here in JA on Wednesday.

He sure works hard on dat Jamaican accent😀
Still cracking up with laughter.

1. It has to do with having Rastaman viberations

2. Well clearly he's a Marley fan but

seriously he has worked really hard at perfecting Yard speak. I’ll link the interview when it’s available later😀

You will crack up.

Here's what I've been told - She's from eastern Europe (Belarus, maybe?) married a Jamaican man and learned english in Jamaica.

5. She definitely learned English in Jamaica - my bet is Portland

You know there are more than a few German Jamaicans in Portland JA who only speak Yard English - hilarious😂😂
