Renowned Rastafarian songstress Queen Ifrica finds herself amidst a wave of criticism following the circulation of a viral video capturing an on-stage interaction with a male patron.
In the footage, Ifrica is observed bending over as a male approaches from behind, engaging in suggestive dance moves during her performance of the single “Keep It To Yourself.” The incident prompted mixed reactions on social media, with many expressing disappointment, deeming the actions as ‘uncalled for,’ particularly given Ifrica’s standing as a ‘conscious reggae artiste.’
The video sparked an online discourse, questioning the alignment of Ifrica’s behaviour with her public image as a conscious artist. Some users commented on the incongruity of such actions during a performance of a seemingly serious and socially relevant song. Critics emphasized that her behaviour was contrary to the ’empress image’ she projects through her music, stating that such actions were beneath the expected standards.
Conversely, amidst the criticism, some supporters urged a more open-minded perspective, encouraging Ifrica to “live a little.” These individuals acknowledged the discomfort caused by the performance but defended the artist’s right to personal expression, emphasizing the importance of not confining oneself to societal expectations.
Queen Ifrica, recognized for both her provocative songs and advocacy anthems, has a history of addressing critical social issues, making the incident a subject of intensified scrutiny and debate within the dancehall and reggae community.
