In 2007, Chaka Demus & Pliers reunited to record a track called "Need Your Lovin" which was released on vinyl, on Explorer Records. They enjoyed an internationally successful partnership including a string of hit singles and a number one album in the UK between 19. He first met Pliers (Everton Bonner) in 1991 and suggested that they team up. The same year saw the release of "Everybody Loves Chaka", for the Scorpio label, which was then followed up by the 1989 album, The Original Chaka 'Watch me Ride'. Other musicians quickly recognised him as having great potential, most notably Yellowman who joined him for such songs as "Everybody Loves Chaka", "Scotty", and "Bring It To Me" and Admiral Bailey, who collaborated with him on "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer", giving him his first hit. None of his early records saw chart success, though they later met with increased success. Upon releasing his debut single, the Jammy-produced "Increase Your Knowledge" in 1985, he was virtually unknown. If unu can search out things fi unu self, do dat because mi nuh think we hear the whole truth about this thing," he said.Born in West Kingston, Taylor was a regular attendee at Kingston dances and was given a chance by Prince Jammy to DJ on his sound system. But at the same time, me want people fi just wise up.
"A nuh everybody immune system strong enough fi overcome it. Look how much people lose dem job? Dat means say more people a go get poor while dem a get rich."Ĭhaka Demus reiterated that he was not telling people to stop wearing masks. When dem restrict yuh from do certain things, yuh can't get fi achieve. I think this thing is fi make dem and dem big friends rich and put people under more poverty because look at this.
"But dem want people in a di world get scared and so when it do come out, because people see say this thing serious, dem a go run go get the vaccine and dem get richer. Yuh think dem a go create this thing and don't have the vaccine fi it?" he questioned. "To me as a man weh a observe and take note a weh a gwaan, dem have the vaccine fi dis already innu. They are not telling the truth about this thing and so a we affi use our common sense and read through the lines." Plunge more people into povertyĬhaka Demus added that he believes a cure for COVID-19 already exists and that the pandemic was created to plunge more people into poverty so that the more fortunate can benefit. The people dem weh a lead the world, dem a cause nuff things weh yuh see a happen in a the world right now and mi want the people dem open dem eyes. But weh me really wah, like Buju say, is for people to open dem eyes and see say a these same people a do it," he said. I could never see so much people a dead from this thing yah, so many of my friends ketch it and say don't wear masks. "I know the virus is a serious thing and ony the fittest of the fittest a go survive, so unu better wear unu masks and build up unu immune system. In an interview with THE WEEKEND STAR, Chaka Demus, from the renowned dancehall duo Chaka Demus and Pliers, said while he does not support Buju's position on the importance of mask-wearing, he is also urging Jamaicans to open their eyes to the truth behind the COVID-19 pandemic, a truth he believes is only being half told.

In a series of videos that have since been deleted from his official Instagram page on Wednesday, Buju voiced his frustration with what he dubbed as "this mask-wearing bulls**t" and urged Jamaicans to stop being tricked by 'intellectual fools' who have been using COVID-19 to plunge people into what he described as abject fear and poverty.īut while some question Buju's mental health, at least one veteran dancehall artiste says he agrees with some of his statements. Grammy-winning reggae artiste Buju Banton has come under heavy criticism after taking to social media to denounce mask-wearing.
