Jamaican songstress Jada Kingdom has sparked controversy on social media with a preview of her upcoming single produced by Rvssian. In this provocative song, she narrates a tale of elevating her social status through deceit and promiscuity, aiming for her desired outcome.
The lyrics, “Since yuh mean wid yuh money mi a mean wid mi p***y den, con out a rich man get a bigga Benz. Wicked b**bocl**t gyal and it evident, nuh give a f**k, I’m a Gen Z Jezebel.” have stirred mixed reactions within the dancehall community.
Some supporters have defended Jada, suggesting that the use of the term “Jezebel” shouldn’t be overanalyzed and connected to biblical connotations. They encourage her to continue expressing herself freely.
“Y’all taking the jezebel thing too far! Cause we know as Jamaicans what she mean yall now trying to cross reference it to the biblical stuff. Now that’s when YOU give it the mean… anyways twinkle weh yuh say carry-on 🗣️🗣️” one user wrote.
However, others have criticized her choice of words, arguing that terms like “Jezebel” carry negative connotations and should be avoided.
“Why would u call yourself that? Don’t piss me off kmt. I rebuke jezebel!” declared another.
The term “Jezebel” historically refers to a woman perceived as promiscuous, manipulative, or morally corrupt, stemming from the biblical figure Queen Jezebel. She was known for promoting the worship of foreign gods and persecuting Hebrew prophets, as depicted in the Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible.
Prior to this latest social media controversy, Jada Kingdom faced a copyright issue in January regarding her diss track “London Bed,” directed at British artist Stefflon Don. Despite gaining significant traction and views via YouTube, the song was unexpectedly removed due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group. This action was taken because “London Bed” contained a sample from Byron Messia and Burna Boy’s single “Talibans II,” both of whom have contractual ties with the label.
