Music plaques typically commemorate the musical and commercial achievements of artists, but Sizzla has taken his recent plaques as a sign of disrespect.
The reggae and dancehall artist appeared on DJ Khaled’s platinum albums, Grateful and Father of Asahd. However, when he received his plaques, he was insulted by the size of his name on the plaques and took it as disrespect towards him and Jamaica.In response, Sizzla took to Instagram and filmed himself and several others destroying the two plaques. In the video, Sizzla and the other men are seen destroying the plaque while carefully preserving DJ Khaled’s son Asahd’s image. After breaking down the plaques, the remains were eventually piled up and lit on fire.
“JUDGEMENT Why use Dada, Buju & Capleton for clout!?” Sizzla wrote in the caption. “You don’t use RASTA for clout! Anyone who feels seh these men are teachers, knows the truth! Long time people just go a yaad fi dem benefit, This is no different! so it was in the beginning so it shall be in the end!”
Sizzla has frequently collaborated with DJ Khaled in the past and has appeared on multiple tracks, including “Holy Mountain,” “I’m So Grateful,” and “These Streets Know My Name.”
