Fans barely gave the entertainer a chance to deliver her lines, as they took over —completely singing verse for verse the lyrics to hits like her 2011 banger Jim Screechy.
At one point, Spice stopped to ‘reason’ with her fans about Dancehall’s popularity in overseas markets.
“JB [Jermaine Baker], when yu call mi booking agent, you say nothing nah too gwaan over here, yu gimme the show fi lickle bit of money, mi waan more money!” she declared as a wave of laughter rippled through the crowd.

“Watch b—c—-t this!” she warned, then the deejay in the booth dropped the Dumpling Remix while Spice played ‘hype man’, dancing to the dancing while the whole club sang the lyrics in one clear voice.
Jermaine Baker, the promoter of the event, was effusive in his praise for Spice’s performance.
“The club was packed, Spice gave a mad performance, perhaps the best ever by a male or female artiste in Panama City. Her fans came out, hundreds of people were jam packed in the club, all COVID-19 protocols observed. She performed for two hours, she stood up on stage and delivered. The club normally lock 4 and the show was going so well that she performed until 4:40 p.m., the fans had a great time,” Baker told DancehallMag.
Baker, the head of JB Production Worldwide, praised the So Mi Like It singer as being “very professional”.
“We’re looking forward to another show with her in the future,” he said.
On the rise Dancehall singer Tashina Muzik opened up the show for Spice with songs such as Best Love, a collaboration with Vybz Kartel, Nuh Regular, and My Time. She got a big ovation from the females with the Best Love song in particular which has almost 80,000 streams on Spotify. Tashina Muzik is signed to Baker’s JB Productions, a record label he started in early 2019, and which has impressively scored hits with Vybz Kartel, the latest, It’s Sin racking up over a million hits last year.
Meanwhile, a delighted Spice who posted a clip from the event on her Instagram page, thanked fans for their support.
