Shen handled herself well in this interview. She stood her ground and stuck to what she believed. She is definitely allowed to experiment with different types of music. Nothing wrong with that.

[@tishrob5012]

Shenseea was very poised,i appreciate the fact that she didn't try to insult jaii. She explained everything so everyone could understand the path she's on and what she's about.

[@BAinMusicManagement]

She needed to do so to win back her core audience. She has said and done a lot of things that left a bitter taste in their mouths. She knows a lot of people (Jamaicans) watch Jaii so she knew beforehand that she needed to maintain her poise.

I remembered some years ago Shenseea said she wanted to be the next Rihanna.... Mi nuh hear Rihanna a sing soso Calypso.... She has a proper mixture of different genres and beats when she ready.... Suh just let Shen be....She has shown she is talented and versatile...and SHE WILL MAKE IT....A woman motivated by the love she has for her kid, mom and country will do great things.

Shen has shown much growth and gracefulness throughout the years and especially on this episode of the podcast.

The whole Caribbean. It’s crazy how where I’m from, we bawl and say the same thing.

[@se4chic]

Right message, wrong messenger. It wasn't too long ago that she said Caribbean people are dumb as sh!t and that's why American's don't F with us (like we need their validation).

[@sethkamens6085]

As a big Shen fan since Loodi from outside Jamaica who didn't really know she was facing such criticism from Jamaicans... I think it is very legitimate. The reason I even found this is because I'm disappointed and feel she is wasting her talent and was just searching to see if the internet agrees. Not all criticism comes from a bad place. She is entirely free to do her thing but this pop music turn isn't doing her any favors... it's not very good and I doubt she is gaining fans from it, maybe just getting a bag from featuring with Americans. She should continue to do what feels right to her, but I definitely long for the return of dancehall Shenseea.
