On Friday morning, the social media sphere and the vibrant Dancehall community were excited by a post from renowned entertainer Popcaan.
Using his Instagram story, the deejay shared a video snippet in which he was garbed in a pair of camouflage pants and a black pullover, stooped next to a car adorned with a New York license plate. This conspicuous imagery hinted at the possibility of his presence in the United States, setting off a wave of fervent speculation.
The video swiftly became a viral spectacle, giving rise to animated discussions among fans, who were fervently deliberating whether the “Unruly Boss” had finally secured the elusive U.S. Visa, potentially signalling a pivotal moment in his career. One fan passionately articulated the significance of this development, stating,
“Pon a big man level still if popcaan ever get him us visa that would be so good for the culture. not to mention if him musical daddy kartel ever free and get visa, place would a turn upside down. dancehall as been suffering for so long because the big names them either incarcerated and can’t fly to the big major markets them.”
Nevertheless, inquiries conducted by Prism Marketing Consultants within Popcaan’s inner circle unveiled that the artist is currently in Canada for professional obligations, and the video was captured alongside a car owned by a U.S. resident bearing a New York license plate. Canadian regulations permit temporary visitors from the United States to drive with their U.S. license plates for a limited period, generally up to three months. However, specific rules and stipulations may diverge across different Canadian provinces and territories.
From a musical perspective, Popcaan remains in the spotlight as he continues to promote his latest single, “Tequila Shots,” a collaborative effort featuring Vybz Kartel and American rapper Fivio Foreign. Since its release six days ago, the official music video has amassed a commendable 396,000+ views on YouTube, reinforcing Popcaan’s enduring influence and resonance within the dynamic world of dancehall.
