Dreadlocks has been a hairstyle for years now, going back to when Tracy Chapman came out, so do not associate everyone wearing dreadlocks, with being a true dreadlocks or rasta.

You got it. Koffee was introduced to us and the world at large at Rebel Salute with Cocoa Tea. She had on Red Gold and Green so even though she may not be a Rasta she used that image to gain the interest of the grassroots. The diversion was swift and obvious after she went to Universal
Cocoa T is a terrible judge of character, he done a song bigging up Zeeks, then a song bigging up Obama and then brought out Koffee, he's a great singer though
Sean Paul is nowhere near the category of Bob Marley either. Bob Marley name and music is known all over the world, even in the most remote and inaccessible places. Majority of people in the world would not recognize the name Sean Paul, or be able to even recognize one song from him.
It was clear from the beginning. We, Jamaican people, can be riding a donkey and swear we have a thoroughbred race horse. Even so, Koffee is still touring, Lila Ike is still touring. Lesbians/Bisexuals exist in Jamaica. Some of them are good singers.
I dont care what people do in their personal life but when she put out that shaky song with sam smith I was done with her as a fan that is not what reggae music is about that is not our culture.
@@SaiSaiGre Do you have reading comprehension? Some people say she is funny and shakey in her private life I never pay attention to that, the imagine that the song was protraying turn me off
People acting like she didn't use rastafrianism , she literal par the hot rastas at the time. Cronixx proto, etc. Let's be real she use the faith to buss
I wuda more say they used her... If you notice, it's "new age" rastas she mostly worked with. Original rasta like all a peter tosh, burning spear and so on wuda keep their distance.
@@VOLRAK1 To be fair, with the way Jamaicans view certain things, there's no way she could come out, and the majority would be ok. The f up thing about all of this is, the "culture" would quicker support gun, scamming, bleaching, oversexualization, and drug use, than support a young lady who doesn't sing about her sexual orientation, but instead the culture that most Jamaicans say is lost. That's what's holding the place back - a backwards, selective mindset.
There are many who fell for the illusion, thinking because they have an international hit they can deviate from the Jamaican values and maintain success. Totally forgetting the catalyst for their success.
@@sphsmith3400 There are many Jamaican with values that believe in the one man one woman relationships, many don't believe in abortions, many have cultural pride, and respect. Some are loose, but most aren't... And we will not allow the minority to dictate the majority behaviors... And I am one of them... We all don't girate, we all don't bra-bra and cuss, we all don't have multiple partners... Do you want me to expand more... Yes those I mentioned are all a part of our value system
Koffee is being used to by people with an agenda to change jamaica into accepting their lifestyle. Furthermore, i disagree that one tune can change things for her, because they are messing with peoples spiritual belief, and that is a serious ting. She will get nuff work in Europe and U.S, but most Jamaicans done with dat lifestyle! Reggae is bigger than one person!
"A Jamaican with locks who nah swim str8" What about that I did not understand, genius? So every Jamaican who wears locks hairstyles is Rasta? Many people, including some Jamaicans, wear locks hairstyles and are not Rasta.
That girl is living her life she. She just hasn’t been active on social media and hasn’t been on ig in a year. She literally still goes viral on twitter and her Spotify monthly listeners is still up. She’s literally still getting booked for shows. Her sexuality is nb business but her own she doesn’t have to confine herself to nobody. She doesn’t have to “ come out “ to nobody
Actually, that's not necessarily true (as we have seen). When you're a public figure or celebrity, it's also the business of your fans or constituents. Furthermore, I know we're living in a world of modernistic relativism, in which certain basic moral standards are dismissed by the claim that "It's modern times" (therefore, everything goes, and you construct your own morals based on your own selfish desires), but the truth is that morals do matter. This means there's right and wrong. And that particular lifestyle is clearly wrong (immortal). Despite our presence, we all know that to be true.
I still love Koffee songs. And if she releases new songs, I will still listen to it because she is a very good artist. What she may or may not do in her bedroom doesn't impede my life.
@sphsmith3400 agree the problem is a lot of us may not agree with the lifestyle but that's their business. I'm fine as long as you're not protecting that onto people, I don't see the problem.
@@brooklynjlo2012 The problem is that it's been projected on to the most vulnerable people, kids. These entertainers and celebrities are a tremendous influence on kids.When kids see that their favorite artists live a certain lifestyle, or subscribe to or endorse this lifestyle, they're very likely to develop a positive view of that lifestyle and be encouraged into practicing it, in response to the slightest stimulus. Without that influence, they might have not responded in the same submissive way to such stimulus.
@@JonJohn-lp9kn that’s why you must teach your child the truth . They are heavily influenced because parents have stopped guiding the child . Make child go play or keep them out of their face instead of making time to teach .
@@markwhitehead1572 if you are Jamaican and live IN Europe, Jamaica, Canada, or America, I know for a fact that you know one. You may not know who the artist is behind the song but you must know one.
Chronixx never batty up a Rasta and she has never called herself a Rasta she was raised in the 7th Day Adventist Church Chronixx is a Rasta y can't it just b 2 talented musicians who came together to form a musical relationship because both have a love for Reggae music ppl live their lives how they choose Chronixx was not Koffee guardian she's an who's responsible for her own destiny whether we John public approve of her decisions
She did all this for a flop out song. Poor Koffee. Also she changed drastically she looked respectable at her first appearance it was at one of those government official type of events. You are correct they changed her a lot and she became unrecognizable.
I told u guys she was endorsed by ibama for the fishness cause the devils goal is to destroy Jamaicas kids and she was the door way into our kids pay attention. She is fulfilling her destiny it was never about the music it was about the influence over the youths
Koffee is young she'll be fine and she can survive in the Hollywood world and find new audiences. She is free to do whatever she wants to do and people are also free to not listen to her or support her. No one is entitled to anyone supporting you and buying your music etc. People can keep their money in their pockets if they want. Koffee can go either way with her branding. She can keep it as is, change with a makeover going in the more socially accepted or even lean in further into the agenda. Whichever she thinks will benefit her most or make her happy or the most money she'll probably do.
Her being gay has nothing to do with anyone but her. I'm so sick of this "agenda" . its not an agenda! people just want to live their lives! She ain't harming nobody or forcing nothing on no one. She make phenomenal music and she be judged on that. She need to just be independent and i'm sure she will be bigger than she was
I remember seeing chronixx at crystal palace in London and he brought koffee through. Thought she was a fish from then this was before everything about her come out
@@90sdancehallkid40 "and then you think homosexuality is a choice that's why nuff people nuh come out because of the hate a nuff gay people exist but have to act as if them straight because of people like you"
When I first heard Toast in Nigeria, I thought she must be Nigerian who sings reggae because her song was a monster hit in Nigeria at the time. She's very talented. I hope she sorts out her career. Remain blessed and one love 🇳🇬❤
Coffee must change her lifestyle choices in order for the Jamaican 🇯🇲 people to accept her as a new person 🧍. Coffee dis coco Tea as a Rasta who brings her to the world 🌍.
She went against the teachings of His Majesty. Her mind became confused so much so that she forgot what was her role as a female. Most disappointing also is that the people around her (certain Rastamen at that) did not counsel her into staying on a righteous path. That said, I hope she will be able to clean up certain things and go out there and retake what is rightfully hers.
From me born and growing up in Jamaica 🇯🇲 you didn't have to wait until people with locks tell you who them is so move from yah with your Koffee question.... koffee a Bowas tr88
@@sphsmith3400 Nowhere in my post did I say Koffee is/was a Rasta. Reading is fundamental. Read to understand and not to find a point on which to respond.
This is the best estimation of the situation i've ever seen.....God don't play, we are not going to give up our Jamaican values......Never, i feel sorry for her, because one thing i can tell you...Jamaicans are not going to budge when it comes onto certain things. Such a talented artist........The Westernized music executives are 98% white and push certain agenda.....and Jamaicans not budging. Uganda not budging......Many African & Carribean people, we wont budge......
Wiz, good reasoning well creative settings with the drive reasoning. Labels definitely can make and break a career. It's all about image. If you get a chance cover the artist Natural Black. Such a good artist with good lyrical uplifting music catalog but since he cut his locks it's like he spiraled into the abyss. Big up.💪💪
The main thing this man said is: STAY FOCUSED! FOCUSED on who you are as an artist! FOCUSED on who you are and the direction you want to go, not where others see you. Bob Marley is a good example of that and DMX!! listen to DMX's struggle and what they said about his music. It was too gritty for air play. He should change it. He said he wasn't changing shit and became the biggest rap artist with an original sound and style.
They only talking about Sam Smith was the reason why she got Cancelled, Did y’all forget she was Hanging with LilNaz X who is The Devil and also a Forgot
You are talking trash my g. Koffee is an international star. Jamaica didn't make her. She would be broken if she was only counting on Jamaicans to support her. Why are people concern about her lifestyle?
She is Jamaican born and grow and is also in a Jamaican genre of music so her entire image is Jamaican so she is 100% Jamaican made 🤡 go have some sense
I don't know why people always ask these stupid question it's our culture if you don't like it that's your problem if we don't want certain thing in our culture that's our right you can do what you want to do in our private life but don't bring that in our culture
Reggae music is not for gay people. It will not last I don't care what song they make. Bob Marley entered into a genre that represents who he and the people is in every way not coffee. She entered into a genre that is set one way from the time it started. LoL. Confusion is not of God and conscious reggae music especially when you coming with locks.
What do u mean by raggae is not for gay ppl. Cos gay ppl do listen to raggae and some do make raggae. Not on a mainstream level but yes.. U don't want to listen to a gay person fine, but dont say it's not for gay ppl.
Koffee doesn’t need Jamaica to accept her or her music in order to be on top again‼️There is America, Europe and all of AFRICA. Remember it was England and the US that accepted Bob first. Jamaica thought Rastas were dirty people up in the hills talking foolishness. Face it, outside of a few Reggae artists like Ziggy, Morgan Heritage and a couple others, the music has shifted to Africa. Koffee gwan wid it. Do your thing. All Jamaicans know to do is tear down not build up. When it hits in NY, London, Amsterdam, Lagos, who gives a damn about people who are concerned about what she does in her bedroom.
Give her time to grow and navigate the world.. she was wearing a casio watch when she made her first hit with chronixx... money and exposure makes people behave in a strange way.. she looks grounded enough to find her way if she makes errors..
Koffee music is great and will withstand time as she is super talented and has a great body of work. Allow her time and grace to come back on the scene. She may be doing shows overseas or just taking a break. Either way she will be successful. Blessings
My fav Koffee song: Run Away. I have all songs on my phone that she ever appeared on except that last one with Sam Smith. Im still holding hope that she is working on good music.
If Jamaicans think that Koffee is Rastafarian, it shows how disconnected most Jamaicans are from knowing real Rastafarians. Also, the only people who care about her lesbianism are Jamaicans, the rest of the big wide world aren't as judgmental, we have our opinions, but we leave the judgements to God, if he has something to say about it, let him deal with it, us humans all have to share this planet together regardless of sexuality. Koffee's best option is to leave Jamaica entirely and move into American music.
I love her, she is a talented artist, I hate that people get so judgemental, lately it seems as Jamaicans really are judgemental, from talking bad about a talented artist like Koffee to Buju talking bad about Afrobeats, and I really love reggae music, but if negativity and judgement is what it's about, yall can keep it.
Let’s remember the story of prodigal son,Coffee is our little sister, our little daughter, when she is ready to come home ,Jamaica and Jamaicans are going to welcome her with a open arms and love. She is one of us forever and we will never abandon her.
@GODSERVANT3993 I still love Koffee songs. And if she releases new songs, I will still listen to it. Because she's a very good artist. What she may or may not do in her bedroom doesn't impede my life.
Got the notification and clicked hear what you were saying in an instant. It’s a good video, strongly opinionated and I appreciate the perspective. All I can say is Reggae acts aren’t known to drop projects frequently. It’s unheard of in the industry…man like Proto and his crew are probably some of the most active as well as the indie reggae acts we have in JA too. Koffee is signed to Columbia which means the next project may be on the way 3/4 years after the debut which isn’t weird. She has been picking up steam in places like the UK and some parts of Africa as well through the collaborations she has been involved in. Jamaican people cya suh blind because from you know Koffee you know…suh when she started incorporating her personal exploits in the music I don’t see why everyone was so surprised because I knew it was only a matter of time. She’s extremely talented and I believe that her and the team she has will ensure she grows. She has a whole EP and Album out already in 5 years plus she went on tour and has been doing promo too. I don’t think her career has ended and she won’t ever be a flop. The people she has been associated with KNOWS about her sexuality LOOOOL. I refuse to believe anything else anyone says. She has a long way to go though in gaining the respect from the locals like she had in her earlier years though and I hope they’ll give her some grace because she’s still young. Wishing her the best honestly🙏🏽.
Well said. My concern is that after taking such a long break, can she pick up right where she left off and continue to become bigger. Only time will tell.
Truth be told koffee job / profession is in the field of music .But its the music world of work . But guess what ! regular John public in there own workplaces and things don't always run smooth .There are ups and downs One has to navigate hills and valleys and i guess it's no different for koffee But one too many naysayers can't compute that Koffee is just a young individual who happens by chance to be born in Jamaica .She's not involved in a national team sport or a Olympian where one has to flag wave or overstate she is Jamaican or overstate she represents dancehall or represents reggae . . The music industry for every genre is a fickle business Koffee having more or less success is "neither here no there" regardless of the fact she is Jamaican .Folk calling this young lady flop is pretty pureil But worse still is folk who grab for most overused mantra in Jamaica " sell out , she sells out ja. ... .At such a young age it's pretty unfair to expect koffee to be all things to all people .
European market is much more lucrative than Jamaica, Canada and USA put together Jamaican entertainers would a dead fi hungry if they were solely dependent on Jamaicans to prosper!! Not to mention Japan and Hispanic market KOFFEE TELL YOU SAY SHE HUNGRY???
