Shaggy Gets A Lot Off His Chest In New Song ‘Mi Nuh Know’: Watch

Dancehall megastar Shaggy got a niggling, unaddressed issue off his chest, music-wise—one so bothersome, that he uncharacteristically uttered the F-bomb, not once, but twice, in his newly-released track dubbed Mi Nuh Know, to the amusement and “shock” of some of his peers.

Assuming a militant stance and coupled with his typical rude-bwoy swag, the former US Marine, who holds Jamaica’s Order of Distinction (Commander Class), took aim at his critics, reminding naysayers that for decades, he has been flying the Jamaican and the Dancehall flag, and has the coveted accolade of being Jamaica’s only living Diamond-plus selling artist, his Hot Shot album an attestation to that fact.

The song whose accompanying music video was premiered today on YouTube, interpolates lyrics from Eek a Mouse’s 1981 hit Wa-Do-Dem and his long-time friend Ninjaman’s Hortical Don, a hit song produced by Steelie and Clevie in the early 1990s.

The music video, directed by Jay Will, was shot in and around Miami and features cameos from Walshy Fire and Popeye Caution.

After boasting of his bedroom prowess in the first verse, Shaggy, not normally known for controversy, turns to his detractors in the second.

“Yuh know don? Talkin bout di yute Shags, man/ Dem a talk bout di Dancehall don/Di only don weh eva sell diamond/ Yuh Know Don?/None a dem caan f’k wid I man/Presidential escort, mi nuh stay inna traffic/memba who a di boss an neva try figat it…”

As he continued, Shaggy reeled out his chart-topping prowess.
