Shauna Chyn is defending her controversial new single “Suicide” following heavy backlash on social media in recent weeks.
The “Control Button” star has faced significant backlash in recent weeks over the controversial track, which advocates women to seek financial gain for sexual favours and claiming that “Free f**k ah rape.”
Last week the Dancehall starlet finally addressed the topic during an OnStage interview with Winford Williams claiming that persons were just handpicking certain lines from the song and missing the broader message.
“I think people just got the wrong opinion because they didn’t listen to the song word for word,” Chyn said. “When you’re making a song it have to have a storyline, so if they had listen the story and what it was saying then they would’ve gotten the right opinion. Now I can’t stop anybody from having their opinion, but it’s not saying about selling sex.”
“It’s about basically saying that if you’re going to be in a relationship with someone and you have to go out there go beg another man to help you do certain things, it don’t make no sense having the relationship,” she continues. “The reason why people are doing this and making it a big deal is because of the bias basically so it doesn’t really affect me really.”
The entertainer further went on to claim the Dancehall industry is guilty of double standards, as many male artistes have expressed similar things in the past without any major uproar.
“Bounty Killer come out and say one jook and him give a girl KFC, I don’t see them cursing him, I see Shabba Ranks come out and say if a man want it him have to pay down on it, Terry Ganzie say whosoever will may come take the money before you lay down, it’s just because it’s a female saying it,” Chyn claimed.
