Background to the story
Speaking in an interview Luciano disclosed that a lot of African artists are copying the Jamaican style for their songs but in actuality, they don’t make any sense.
Luciano mentioned the Bhim Nation President’s name as an example saying he(Stonebwoy) claims to speak patios but the truth is that no Jamaican understands what he sings and it’s only God that knows what Stonebwoy is saying.
