Reggae star Mr. Vegas opened up about his past disagreement with fellow artist Spice, clarifying that their feud, centered around differences in interacting with LGBTQ+ fans, is long resolved. He expressed respect for Spice’s strong work ethic and emphasized mutual understanding despite previous tensions. Touching on Jamaica’s relationship with gay reggae artists, Mr. Vegas acknowledged that the island is not quite ready yet for openly gay male performers, though progress is visible, especially with more female artists showing acceptance. He highlighted the hypocrisy in the industry, where some artists privately associate with LGBTQ+ fans despite public stigmas. Mr. Vegas noted that if an artist is truly idolized, their sexual orientation may be overlooked by fans, but societal and cultural barriers still pose challenges. Ultimately, he advocates for respecting individual lifestyles and fostering a more inclusive music scene in Jamaica.
