Bumbo Claat starrr. Neva know a so this yute ya so real a rahtid. Always rate the fact that he doesn’t do any foolish songs but I did not expect him to be so grounded and respectful of his art. Most artistes don’t have any ethics, Masicka has good work ethics. Now him a my favorite artiste rite now. Big up Seani B @bbc1extra

[@toltanblair1916]

Masicka coming from humble beginnings now being a legend in dancehall. Working hard at what you love has really paid off for you. I remember when you use to spit crazy lyrics @ Aidonia but he never respond. From that time I know you were going to be a great artist.

No lie. I started a business and started changing lives because of Masicka's music. Real life sh*t. Gonna be a millionaire. He speaks the lingo of a hustler, a go getter. If you hating, all I'm hearing is that you don't have any goals because you cannot relate.

Masicka, you are definitely a king and a lot of people will be motivated by you

[@talktruthpodclass]

This is so true. Don't let people spoil your day and draw your energy. Stay focused on your path or what you believe in. When you allow people to get in your head and draw you out, that's when you lose yourself and your focus. Big up dj, always stay focused, pray, and believe in yourself.

[@oneikafarquharson7969]

Such a humble man..We love you King❤

[@deliveredanointed]

I dont listen to dancehall/reggae because of the content, amongst other things. I've always heard Masicka's name, and it was his collab with Romain Virgo that made me pay attention. Never heard him speak and decided to listen to him. Quite motivational young man. My respect for him has grown because of his work ethics, that he explained; his humility; his intelligence; and his desire to motivate. His outlook on life, knowing that he has a huge task of influencing the younsters and mustn't abuse it, has really helped me. Needed some motivation, having to start over after migrating (which wasn't in my thoughts). RESPECT, Masicka. I will be listening to his albums for some motivation. Blessings over your life and your family. Praying for your Grammy win

[@Tye710]

Dancehall I understand but reggae???? REGGAE MUSIC?

[@deliveredanointed]

@@Tye710 I stand corrected, as some non-Jamaicans don't know the difference. They just think Reggae is all songs from Jamaica, hence why I used 'dancehall/reggae'

[@Tye710]
