Tanya Stephens is standing firm on her controversial statements made about former Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller.
The veteran female deejay recently found herself under heavy scrutiny following controversial statements made about the political record of former prime minister Portia Simpson Miller.
The “Handle The Ride” deejay took to social media over the weekend blasting the legacy of the veteran politician, saying “Hearing people lament Portia’s departure is like seeing people congratulate my rapist for being a ‘good man’ … she isn’t a good person.”
The comments were not well received by many fans and some politicians, who accused the female deejay of being disrespectful towards not only a Jamaican icon, but also a fellow woman.
However, Stephens is not backing down on her statements, as she took to social media on Friday night to hit back at her critics calling them hypocritical and spineless.

“People are more honest about what they think of you when they think you won’t hear. People who lack spine, i.e. If you know me PERSONALLY and you can chat to me about OTHER s—t, run your thoughts of ME by me b4 you run them by others or cut. Me nuh establish friendships with kids or spineless adults. Sunday I turn 44,” said the veteran deejay.
The “These Streets” singer also took the opportunity to blast the media for their entire coverage of the situation, claiming they should instead focus on real issues affecting society, and stop highlighting trivial matters.
