Model/TV Host Kaci Fennell has responded to Popular Dancehall selector Foota Hype’s recent comment about her Trinidad And Tobago 2017 Carnival costume.
On Monday Foota took to his Instagram account to blast the Miss Jamaica Universe 2014 and her attire, “I don’t care if this is miss Jamaica or miss world this nuh look good,” He wrote. “U favor ediot carnival mek u degrade uself exposing uself smfh better u did come a one dance Inna one batty rider,” he added.
Fennell then took to her account a few hours later to type a lengthly response that was cosigned by Foota’s ex–fiancée, Dancehall artiste Ishawna.
“To whom it may concern,
I never respond to hate like this but something inside me couldn’t allow myself to see this and brush it off like I usually do, especially with what our women have been going through recently. I have grown to completely ignore comments like these,” She said.
“This type of man here is a big part of the problem we are currently facing, not everything I do will be accepted by everyone and there is nothing wrong with that, the problem lies with this person believing he has the authority to comment or even dictate how a woman should carry herself. Instead of us celebrating us they tear us down, this type of man makes women second guess themselves and that is absolutely unacceptable because our women are heaven sent and it saddens me that situations like this lower their self esteem,” Fennell added.

She continued by saying, “I wore this for me! I felt so beautiful and sexy (thank you Marie Collete) at no point was I seeking for anyone else’s approval but my own and that’s how it should be always. To any one out there that has been a victim of cyber bullying I just wanted to let you know that you are loved, you are wonderfully made, you are beautiful, you are a masterpiece…. Don’t you ever let another person ever make you feel otherwise. Continue to be yourself no matter what negativity may come your way. Wait till him see what I wearing tomorrow.”
