Vegas defends Dancehall DABB

Mr Vegas has hit back at people who have criticised him for recording 'Dancehall DABB', a song about the popular American DABB dance.

The song's video was directed by Ty Black and premiered online recently on American hip-hop website worldstarhiphop.com and was also posted on the site's YouTube channel. Since then, it has been featured on a number of other popular US-based entertainment sites, including allhiphop.com, thefader.com, flossmagazine.com, theshaderoom.com, massappeal.com and Hip Hop Weekly.

Music fans have embraced Dancehall DABB, it has also received criticism from people accusing Vegas of selling out.

"Everybody has something to say, the good, the bad and the ugly. Some say mi sell out, some say mi shouldn't follow a trend. I never hear any uproar when the big pop artistes use dancehall dance moves in their videos," Mr Vegas said.

"The DABB is the biggest thing the states right now, all the music stars, sports stars and other celebrities are doing it. I like it, and I want Jamaica and the whole Caribbean to join the fun and do the DABB, that's why I have recorded Dancehall DABB."

The artiste,

however, believes the fact that everyone is talking about the video is a good look for him and for dancehall music.

"This video is

currently the most talked- about video online. It's a hot topic, and it's getting a lot of likes and shares," he said.

The video was choreographed by Canadian

choreographer Tabby Rockstar and features dancers from Africa, the Caribbean and Canada.
