Jamaicans are outraged following British GQ Magazine’s claim that English singer Harry Styles recently made ‘wearing multiple rings’ a trend.
“Thanks to [Harry Styles], wearing multiple rings is a now a thing,” the publication tweeted on Saturday.
However Dancehall/Reggae fans are now disagreeing with the statement as they say veteran recording artist Shabba Ranks should be credited for the trend which he started back in the 1980’s.
Comments:
“He’s [Shabba Ranks] a true icon. There are quite a few cultural developments that can be linked to shabba. Even baggy jeans and now even that is back in style lol.”
“Bwoy farin people love tief we style and own it #appropriation.”
“@britishgq you guys are disrespectful . How could you give Harry that type of accolade ?”
“Thief…… it began in the motherland and we Jamaicans borrow it??.”
“A swear white ppl think they come up with everything ?? when it comes on to style, we invented it!!.”
“I swear white ppl think they started everything. What the fuck is a Harry Styles? Smh.”
