A leaked track featuring Jamaican songstress Shenseea and Canadian rapper Drake has surfaced online, igniting a wave of mixed reactions on social media. The dancehall-infused song showcases both artists delivering provocative lyrics, sparking debate among fans. Some users praised the track, with an Instagram commenter declaring it the “song of the summer”, stating “Song of the summer 🔥🔥 definitely gonna trend on TikTok”. Others were more critical, suggesting Drake was merely capitalizing on Jamaican vibes for a hit, noting, “Drake ran to Jamaica when his tryna to get a summer vibes hit 💀🤷🏾♂️”
The leak comes hot on the heels of Shenseea’s debut performance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” On June 18, she captivated audiences at NBC’s Studio 6B with renditions of “Keep A Place” and “Neva Neva” from her newly released sophomore album “Never Gets Late Here.” This appearance marked another milestone in her career, following her previous late-night debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2022. “Never Gets Late Here,” launched on May 24, has already made a significant impact, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart and featuring collaborations with artists like Anitta, Wizkid, Masicka, and Coi Leray.
The collaboration with Drake is particularly noteworthy given their history. In 2021, rumours swirled about a possible pregnancy involving Shenseea and Drake, a story that was quickly debunked by both parties. Despite the controversy, Shenseea continues to rise in the music industry, proving her resilience and talent. As fans dissect the new track, her performance on Fallon and the success of her latest album reinforce her position as a formidable force in contemporary music.
