Jamaica has been getting a lot of bad press in the last few weeks with returning residents being urged not to come back to the island due to crime and violence.

Amidst the debate, Reggae star Queen Ifrica is among the few entertainers publicly defending Jamaica.

Last week, the “Lioness on the Rise” singer took to social media to speak on international celebrities visiting Jamaica despite the negative stories in the media.

“So While Jamaica is been dubbed the Place To Not Return To. These Two Great Brothers In Their Own Right Comes To Jamaica And as taking on the Image of the original man ,and seemingly owning it Proudly!,” Ifrica captioned a photo of Jay Z and DJ Khlaed. “Why do they Come to Jamaica You Think? To have the Yaad man style!!!! Jamaican man is the man who set the example for all man , Every corner of the World You Go Everyman want to be Like the Yard Man ! There is something very Special About You Jamaican Man. Don’t Let Them Take It Away Fight For It.”
