Reggae entertainer Sizzla Kalonji, who is adamant that he was “insulted” by American producer DJ Khaled, has destroyed two certified platinum plaques sent to him from the producer to commemorate his contribution to his albums.
“You insult me DJ Khaled, man. A weh yuh do,” said the upset Reggae superstar, who is to Instagram to express his displeasure in multiple videos on his page.
In a fit of rage, Sizzla can be seen dismantling the plaques before setting them ablaze.
Kalonji, who at first is videotaping, instructs his companions to get a knife before declaring that Khaled insulted him. The men proceeded to cut apart the Grateful album plaque, with Kalonji soon taking over to do the task himself.
In a show of somewhat respect, Sizzla tore a photo of DJ Khaled’s son, Asahd, from the plaque, saying that, “Babies are innocent.”
The plaque and other related material were subsequently burnt.
Kalonji, in another video, claimed that he was the one who propelled Khaled’s career.
“Weh yuh feel like DJ Khaled, yuh can style Sizzla? A me buss yuh man, August Town buss yuh, he stated, adding that, “Wrong plaque yuh sen.
Continuing, the artistes said: “Weh yuh feel like. Me cyah even si me name. And a now yah send plaque come gi me, look how hard we wuk.”
Kalonji even complained how his name was small on the plaque, an issue dancehall producer Skatta Burrell – who commented on the burning of the plaques – said could be easily resolved by paying an additional sum of money to have the name enlarged.
Khaled has worked with several Jamaican artistes over the years, including Kalonji himself.
On Grateful, Khaled’s tenth studio album, Kalonji appeared on the album’s intro track, ‘I’m So Grateful’, and was featured on ‘Holy Mountain’, alongside Buju Banton, Mavado, and 070 Shake on the producer’s eleventh studio album, Father of Asahd.
The ‘Dry Cry’ singer recently collaborated with the American producer for his album God Did, appearing on the single ‘These Streets Know My Name’ along with Bunty Killer, Skillibeng, Buju Banton, and Capleton.
