Beenie Man was one of several who called on criminals to take a break for the holidays.
Last week the Dancehall superstar made an emotional plea to Jamaicans for a crime-free Christmas, begging criminals to end the violence.
Beenie Man made the plea during a public service announcement to his fans on Instagram last week.
“This is not a paid announcement, cause nobody cannot pay me fi seh dis. Wi need a crime-free Christmus bredrin, seen? Wid all di war weh a gwaan, wi need it fi stap bredrin. Mi jus want oonu fi know caw Chrismus a few days roun di road yuh nuh dread. Seen?” Beenie said.
“All a di man dem weh a teck weh di people dem phone, rob di people dem fi nuttn, stop! Di raper dem, stop! Seen? Because go-go club deh. Find suppm; go enjoy oonu self bredrin. We need a crime-free Christmas and a crime-free new year. Please wi a beg unu. Dis a nuh badness and wi naw bad oonu up. Mi a beg oonu because wi a all Jamaican. Live as one,” he concluded.
The deejay would go on to caption the post saying “Greetings People. This is a message to all holiday grinch (thief, gunman, kidnappers etc). Give the badness and crime a break for the holidays and the new year. People waan go out and feel safe. Lowe the people them bag, stop pick the people them pocket, stop rob and kill!!! We are all Jamaicans, let’s enjoy a joyful and peaceful Christmas & new year. Blessings.”
The post was met with mostly positive responses from fans who praised him for the stance he had taken.
