Foota Hype Claps Back At ‘Haters’ Over Rented Rolls Royce
Dancehall selector Foota Hype had some choice Jamaican curse words for his ‘haters’ whom he said tried to rain on his parade, on Father’s Day.
According to Foota, these ‘jealous and badmind’ people were particularly incensed, for no apparent reason, to see that he was driving around in a rented Rolls Royce on Father’s Day and had enjoyed himself at a fancy hotel where he soaked in a tub ‘filled with rose petals’ like a superstar.
“Mi notice some ooman pon di internet. Why oonu suh bad mine? Pon maddas day when di whole a oonu a have oonu fun and a get excited, nuhbaddy nuh have nuttn bad fi seh,” Foota complained on his Instagram live feed on Tuesday.
“Mi put up mi likkle picture pon mi Rolls Royce weh wi rent, because mi nuh have no money fi buy Rolls Royce fi myself. Some wicked gyal a come talk bout: ‘watch him wid people car’. Yes, every rappa use people car; every actress use people car; every actor. Das why dem have rent-a-car business. Fi di day de when mi rent it, a my own. Nat even di owna coulda come teck mi outta it b__claat,” Foota shouted.
The Calabar High School old boy said he attracted the finer things in life, and had many millionaire friends who own luxury cars which he is able to borrow any time he chooses, so there should be no contention surrounding him enjoying the high life.
“Oonu memba seh a me a ‘borrow vehicle king’? Memba seh me have friends wid all these kinds a vehicle enuh. Mi can get dem fi borrow tuh enuh. Mi nuh haffi rent dem. Oonu nuh si when mi a come from prison a big four door Presidential Bentley pick me up? A neva r__s claat Uber; a nuh Lyft. Suh why oonu have a problem?” he said.
Declaring Tuesday as ‘S__k oonu Mumma Day for his detractors, Foota said contrary to what many of them think, he was not broke, was prudent in his spending habits, but would use his money to ‘braff’ anytime he felt like it.
“A long time mi nuh cuss out some a oonu dutty jancrow. When a man a live him likkle life an enjoy himself, oonu have di worse ting fi seh. Guh s__k oonu mumma. If mi na have money mi can rent nuh Rolls Roye. Bruck people caa rent Rolls Royce…. All when a rental, a my own till di money done. Till mi money drive out, a my own,” the 38-year-old declared.
“If mi get up a maanin and feel like mi want guh up a Fontaine Bleu, guh book a room fi 700 dalla, and guh sleep in deh and feel like mi a tourist and come out an a dead fi hungry afta, a nuh fi oonu business?” he added.
Foota diminished his enemies’ comments regarding the tracking anklet placed on his foot by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to monitor his movements, prior to him being conditionally released from custody in March, claiming he was quite comfortable wearing it.
“Di whole a oonu a worry bout di anklet pon mi foot. P__ hole, mi still a live mi life, mi still a guh beach inna it; mi swim inna it; nuttn nuh dweet. Mi guh inna di bath tub wid di flowers dem; nuttn nuh dweet. Di light still a blink. Oonu see police come look fi mi? Guh s__k oonu madda. Yeh a mi ‘foot Rolex’,” he said.
“Oonu did still waa mi fi dung a Chrome don’t? Lock inn one cell don’t? Dat naw happen,” he continued. “Oonu want Doreen son fi inna problem. Sufferin days over. Mi a live mi life. Some a oonu weh a criticse an a grumble nuh know weh oonu baby father deh; some a oonu bwoy nuh get no yute but oonu ready fi class people who a live dem life.”
Foota Hype said the treatment he received on Father’s Day was due to him being a good parent. He also rubbished criticisms that he did not post any photos of his children on Father’s Day.
“Mi proud a miself. Mi piss bun grass. And becaw mi inna mi pickney dem life, people look out an seh arite, wi a guh give him a treat… Weh onu coulda have bad fi seh bout dat now?” he asked.
“Some a oonu a come grumble bout ‘oh how him nuh post him pickne dem’? P__y, a Fathers Day; a nuh pickney day. A nuh children day; a dem fi put up me. A mi babymadda fi put up me if nuhbaddy a put up nuhbaddy. An me naw wait pon dem fi validate me as a father. Suh if dem nuh put up me and di ooman dem nuh put up me, mi put up myself and mi put up mi faada. Mi can’t wait till next Fathers Day fi mad oonu again,” he added.
