Foota Hype Rejoices After Sizzla Denounces LGBTQ At ‘Good Times’
Foota Hype has expressed delight at Sizzla Kalonji’s performance at the “Good Times” retro party at Mas Camp on Saturday night, in which the firebrand Reggae/Dancehall artiste denounced homosexual acts and reaffirmed that he will never apologize to the LGBTQ community.
On Wednesday, Foota shared a video clip of Sizzla in action at the popular annual event and urged his Instagram followers to join him in cheering for, and congratulating Sizzla, whom he said was not quite back at his optimal as yet.
“Everybody help me give a warm welcome back to Sizzla Kalonji. Bun dem dadda. He is not at his full strength yet but I am glad to see his return,” Foota wrote.
Most of his followers followed suit, posting celebratory messages praising Sizzla, as well as cheering emoticons.
After one follower suggested that LGBTQ members would ‘ruin Sizzla’s career again’, Foota was quick to point out that: “him rich already dem can’t do him nuttn”.
In the clip shared by Foota, Sizzla is heard saying declaring that he would not stop rebuking homosexuals, and did not care whether he was granted or denied visas.
“Nuh man caan tell me seh nuh fi bun nuh b-ttyman. You waan me stap bun b-ttyman fi get visa? Yuh mussi mad man. Hear mi now; si di whole a fi mi visa dem yah suh. A my fans a my visa, yuh hear?” he declared.
During Sizzla’s full performance, he did not spare lesbians either.
“No lesbian ooman inna di house; think oonu get weh to? There is a balance; equilibrium,” he said, shortly before performing No Apology, the 2005 song he declared an “anthem” in which he responded frontally to demands for an apology from the LGBT community, declaring that he would dash homosexual men in a “lake of fire”, and did not care whether he was banned from the UK or elsewhere.
In November last year, Sizzla had joined forces with Foota to denounce Spice’s headlining of the Toronto Pride LGBTQ festival which had been set for June 2022.
In addition, the No Apology singer, had also implicitly taken aim at singer Lila Iké who several days earlier had publicly declared that she had been engaging in same-sex relationships.
“Jamaican artistes already knew that our indigenous music bashes against homosexuals and lesbianism. We Jamaicans bash against anything that is corrupt and misleading to our nation if people. Do not mix reggae and Dancehall with your evil nasty ways…,” Sizzla had written on Instagram.
Sizzla had been the only male member of the Rastafarian religion to join Foota on what became his three-person anti-homosexuality army, Foota having been given the full backing of Queen Ifrica from 2019.
In the aftermath of Lila Iké’s confession, Foota, for his part, had issued a stern reprimand to Dancehall and Reggae artistes, whom he said had ‘taken sides with Satan, and pushed God and righteousness aside’.
Months before, Foota had accused some international record labels and their agents of insidiously using Reggae and Dancehall stars and the Rastafari culture as pawns, against their wishes, to promote what he said was the LGBTQ agenda.
The Dark Knight producer had claimed that these companies and their ‘project people’ were intensifying their attempts to get Jamaicans to conform and embrace the LGBTQ movement, by taking advantage of the island’s music, its most powerful medium, and its artistes, its most powerful messengers.
