Mr. G Says Khago Is Most Disliked Person In Dancehall
Veteran Dancehall artist Mr. G might have stirred up a hornet’s nest after he posted a video message on his Instagram page he said was aimed at Tun Up di Ting artist Khago, hurling insults and demanding that the Manchester native stop ‘calling up his name’.
However, the online rant that is now being circulated on social media, comes approximately two months after Khago made his last public statements about Mr G on The Fix Podcast.
“Hear wha mi a seh people. Caw mi nuh inna no bag a long talkin. Mi a guh ask oonu fi tell dah likkle germs deh name Khango, keep mi name outta him mouth. Likkle bwoy yuh a walk an a call up everybaddy name a look hype. Mi a di wrong man fi yuh call up dem name, yuh hear. Mi a di wrong human being fii yuh call up name,” Mr. G, who is formerly known as Goofy, said.
“Yuh si you, yuh know why yuh career at a halt? An not movin? You is di worst human being pon Planet Earth. Yuh badmine an yuh ungrateful. Yuh ungrateful dung to yuh madda, weh push yuh out pan Planet Earth. Yuh know why mi stop deal wid yuh? Mi si yuh come pon di internet an a tell yuh own madda bout fi har madda and tell uh sista bout har madda which is your madda,” the Swaggerific artiste added.
Mr. G, who came to prominence with his breakout hit Fudgie in the 1990s, continued by declaring that, among other things, Khago was the most disliked person in Dancehall.
“Bwoy yuh curse, and as long as yuh live Jah a guh beat yuh. You a di worst human being. Mi nuh waan yuh inna no whole heap a chattin and call up name yute. Becaw yuh a look some notice; yuh a look some attention. Mi nuh waan si yuh. Di producer dem nuh like yuh; di radio man dem nuh like yuh; di sound man dem nuh like yuh; and di fans dem nuh like yuh. Dung to yuh own madda nuh like yuh,” he said.
“People oonu guh pon di internet and put in ‘Khago diss him madda’ an si Khago a tell him madda bout har madda. Yuh a one likkle germs enuh. Mi jus want yuh si mi an avoid mi. Low mi ute; yu understand? Caw mi uh inna no whole heap a chattings wid yuh. Yuuh call-call up everybaddy name a try look hype; a guh weh yuh fi guh weh. Yuh hear? Mi nuh inna no whole heap a chattings. People ust ell dah likkle germs deh fi si mi an avoid mi. Big man ting. Yuh seet?
The outburst by Mr. G came on the day that his Click Click riddim was premiered on the Onstage entertainment show with Winford Williams, leaving some of his fans to speculate that the comments aimed at Khago was to get people talking and bring attention to the riddim, which carries a diss song voiced by Mr G possibly aimed at Khago, especially since Khago had made the comments so long ago. The Click riddim features songs by himself, Beenie Man Wayne Wonder and Christopher Martin among others.
Speaking during an interview on The Fix Podcast back in March, Khago, whose given name is Ricardo Gayle, had said made scathing remarks about Mr. G even though he simultaneously declared him his “General” and heaped praises on him for being instrumental in getting Seanizzle to voice his Nah Sell Out breakout hit song on his One Day riddim.
According to Khago, his disgruntlement with Mr. G stemmed from the fact that the I Don’t Give A Damn artist had ‘rained on his parade’ during Capleton’s St. Mary Mi Come From Show, effectively stealing the spotlight instead of giving him a chance to showcase himself.
“MI guh Capleton show. Mi not even know seh mi buss enuh bredda. And when mi guh Capleton show enuh… a taxi I teck guh enuh. And mi hear everybaddy a seh ‘a di likkle yute name Khago mi come fi si’,’ Khago said.
“An mi walk out enuh (on stage) and as mi seh: ‘mi n sell out mi fren dem’, an as mi guh fi seh di sweet part fi buss up di place enuh, mi dis si dis big ol dutty, stinkin, fat, ugly bwoy run up on mi ting and start sing: ‘Swaggerific, I’m so sawgerific’. Dutty John Crow teck weh mi show enuh dawg…,” the Blood a Boil artiste said.
Khago then said he complained about Mr. G’s actions to his manager who sought an explanation from the Main Street artiste, who gave what Khago considered an unsatisfactory response.
“Suh mi call Banky and she: ‘yuh nuh si seh dutty Goofy just come teck wi mi show from mi Banky?’ A mi di people come out fi si and mi nuh know enuh. Bredda a cry mi cry from St. Mary enuh. Mi wash dung di whole a St Mary come town,” Khago reminisced.
He continued: “An Banky call di man and seh: ‘dawg a wha dat yuh just do?’ Di man a she: ‘a suh artiste used to do wid mi enuh’. An mi a seh: ‘But Banky mi nuh understand if Goofy tell mi seh: ‘Khago, mi a guh deh a St Mary. Wi a guh rehearse; mi a guh know when fi call out mi general. Because a Goofy meck Seanizzle voice mi still yuh nuh dawg. Seanizzle neva a guh voice mi, suh mi nuh waan Seanizzle a get too much credit enuh. I was nobody… Suh props to Goofy still enuh.”
Khago had said Beenie Man had also wanted Seanizzle to voice him and had actually endorsed him in front of Seanizzle, but that it was Mr. G whose actions gave him the stamp of approval when he started to ad-lib in the studio yard.
“Same time Jehovah jus meck mi seh ‘Teafore’, and Goofy a pass. And seh “wah dat! Yuh find it yute!’ And di man just guh ova him yard deh suh, run guh back ova to Seanizzle and she ‘yow yuh know seh di yute name Khago have di biggest song pon di riddim and Seanizzle said ‘alright, bring him come meck mi ear weh him a seh’” he relayed.
He said Mr. G was among the other artistes cheering him on went into the voicing booth and started to extemporize on the One Day riddim, a reason he was hailed in the song, so he was grateful to him, but insisted that he was still upset with him over the St. Mary Mi Come From.
“Suh from yuh si bredda, mi haffi a disrespect him (Mr. G) yuh haffi know seh, Goofy why yuh do dat to mi?” Khago said.
