Shaneil Muir Quells Pregnancy Rumors With Body Positive Message

Rising Dancehall star Shaneil Muir had fans guessing whether or not she had a little bundle of joy on the way.

The speculation began early Sunday morning when she shared a bathroom selfie with the caption, “Couldn’t hold it in any longer (Praying hands emoji.”  The post has since been deleted.

While some fans expressed sentiments of congratulations to the dancehall artiste, others were not quite convinced so the Yamabella singer posted a live video in an effort to quell the rumors.

“Dem wah know if me a breathe, let me check,” she said then took a deep breath. “Yes.” In Jamaica, breeding and being pregnant are used interchangeably.

The male in the video, who has been identified as Music Producer ‘Papi Don’ stated that people need to understand the difference between being pregnant and ‘breathing.’

“Shaneil nuh pregnant dog, she breathing” he uttered. “Who breed you? The world may never know,” he said while Shaneil burst into laughter.

Shaneil however got serious.

“When belly fi bang, belly fi bang, cause good pumpum need shelter…good pumpum need shelter regular!” she said.

She continued to let people know that she is very proud of her body and quite unbothered by their negative remarks, even though she has the capacity to make whatever changes she desires.

“Me have 2 big dutty watermelon on my chest, unu look pon mi breast them good, ah triple D mi wear, wha me ah do wid more body?” she questioned, holding onto her breasts.

“Unu stop try fi bring dung people and talk bout ah face alone me have,” she continued.

Shaneil sought to encourage females to move away from the façade associated with the internet and social media by extension.

“A lot of you females like to go on social media and bash other females about their bodies…ladies with little extra flesh…especially inna quarantine time yah…ladies mek me tell unu something, don’t let nobody tell unu nutten fi tek unu dung and put unu  inna corner fi cry to unu self.” Instead she said women must be confident about their bodies.

“If ah so me did born, who is me fi change it, God say girl hold some breast, likkle bit a batty and sometime u belly ah go come up and go dung, nutten nuh wrong wid dat!” she boasts.
