Just seeing him reminds me of the 90s. The 90s were a special time there was enough room for everyone. Reggae/dancehall, R&B, House music, Rock, Pop, and of course Hip hop/Rap.

I was wondering why both Shabba and Patra were seemingly snubbed at the BET Awards. I respect and applaud their reasons for not participating.

[Quanism]

I’m so glad someone is finally doing this story very underrated

[teeteeme]

The fact that he kept his home a home with one wife and kids....I give him a huge RESPECT. I remember Shabba well in the 90s. Loved his music.

[marfialennox]

The part about one wife and fathering all his children by her, gave me a new respect for Shabba. Its also refreshing to see the maturity over time

[JayBelafonte]

I remember Shabba being huge when I was kid. You would hear his music blasting in peoples cars. He and Patra basically introduced Dancehall to a lot of people in the US. I always wondered what happened to both of them. Glad to see him still living well. They both need too drop new music

[JadedJassy]

I love how he handled himself when it comes to his family! One woman. No outside kids!

[krislatoya]

As a Caribbean gal, I can tell you that we still scream *SHABBA* when Champion Lover plays. Yes he came from the ghetto and was pushy but he was one who showed that dreams can definitely be achieved.

[KatNaturalBeauty]

I love Shabba!!! He stood for what he believed and ppl hated him for that.
He’s definitely underrated. Dave Chappelle was right.

One wife since 1992 and only mother to his kids. 👏👏👏

[MichaelMengo]

Something that hurts me as an Afrikan is how people clowned him on his looks. As a kid watching in living colour call him “ugly man” hurt me

[bella_bella]

I don’t blame Shabba or Patra regarding the bet incident. Some ppl do have a pride about their craft and self. Good for them. Respect to them both

*90's Dancehall/Reggae was & still is the last great decade for music it's unmatched* 🥇

[jaylove]

I'm glad I'm not the only "1 woman" man in the world. Brothers, this is nothing to be ashamed of, love your woman AND family. True happiness is loving and being loved. Wonderful video

[irenedontoh]

Wow. I am so full of respect for Shabba. One would have thought that he would have 10 baby mama's, but all his children from one woman? That's commendable.

[beaniegee]

Mr. Loverman, Twice My Age, Housecall, Trailer Load a Girls, Ting-a-Ling, Slow & Sexy, The Jam and Let's Get it On are my favorite Shabba Ranks songs of all time!!

[prettysaintxx]

Yasss nothing like seeing our Jamaican people doing good still. Dancehall will forever be apart of my life. 😎🇯🇲

[Jemineyeofficial]

I'm a born and bred Jamaican, and I must say, it Feels good seeing this.

[icesseh]

A Reggae Verzuz with Shabba Ranks would be Epic!

[mzjourney]

I still bump SHABBA on my playlist to this day! ❤️👑
