That’s an idiot thing to say, Hater>
You ever heard greats like Bob Marley or 3rd World play Soca? So what if a colab with Alison Hindes is in the works? She is a pop artist, so chill!

SHE IS A POP ARTIST OK KOOL.. LET’S LOOK AT THE NON POP ARTISTS SHE WORKD WITH……..ALL JAMAICANS… WTF WHAT HAPPEN TO THE OTHER ARTISTS IN BIM WHO NEED THE SUPPORT? SHAME ON HER!!
I agree with Bim she can’t shit live for sheet. she can’t move on the stage and is quite boring to look at…love her videos though. And BIM doe look for her to big uu Bajan artists if her father still selling clothes out of an old car and she doe talking to him, for petty matters.Chris brown mash her up and she was willing to go back to him but her own father she treating so….
for a woman who cant sing she’s the most sought after artiste in the world not to mention one of the richest at 23 Ri is a megastar ask armani, Vogue,Chanel, donald Trump et al. Oh she bigger than Bob Marley also and a budding movie star to boot .look out for blockbuster Battleship . This sexy Bajan lass is the biggest and brightest and richest ever entertainer from the region. Haters keep on hating Rihanna sipping champange as haters envy and eat crow. Oh her show at Kensington was off the chain . The bomb.
