Dancehall sensation Skeng has ignited a firestorm on social media with a controversial post that has left many users deeply unsettled. The post, shared on Monday, features a series of images portraying Skeng and compatriot Tommy Lee Sparta in a rather ominous light.
In one of the photos within the Instagram multi-image post, both artists are adorned in black hooded outfits, evoking a sinister aura. Another image shows Skeng standing beside a woman dressed in a nun’s uniform, gazing skyward, accompanied by the caption “Satan disciples #EvilPeople…”.
This disturbing imagery has elicited strong reactions from fans, with some expressing discomfort and urging the artists to reconsider their portrayal. Comments such as “Find God” and “I support your music, but I am definitely a disciple of Jesus” reflect the concern among certain segments of the audience. Others have cited biblical scripture in response, highlighting their disapproval of the post’s thematic direction.
However, both Skeng and Tommy Lee Sparta are no strangers to controversy. Tommy Lee Sparta, who initially faced criticism for his Uncle Demon persona, eventually found acceptance within the Dancehall community. Similarly, Skeng is known for his unconventional on-stage antics, including setting a drum set on fire and impromptu swimming pool dives during performances.
Despite the backlash, some fans have rushed to the defence of the entertainers, suggesting that the images may be taken out of context. A closer examination reveals they could be promotional material for an upcoming video project involving the two artists.
Amid this social media firestorm, Skeng continues to focus on his music career, actively promoting his latest single ‘Na Na’, produced by Notnice Records. Meanwhile, Tommy Lee Sparta and Demarco unleashed their joint effort ‘Fireball‘ over the weekend. The accompanying visual for ‘Na Na’ has already amassed over 250,000 views via YouTube since it was released two weeks ago.
