Chronixx

It is fairly normal both locally and internationally to have  artistes take on issues that affect the political and social  interests of fellow  countrymen through music or utterances. They are presumed as the voice.
Juliani did  “Utawala”, Vybz Kartel did ‘Poor People’ and a number of artistes all over .However it is ridiculous when a top government delegate takes such issues personally.
That is exactly what is happening with Caribbean Sensation Singer Chronixx.
The ‘Here Comes Trouble’  Singer has trouble all over him after he took to the social media and posted  a caption hat criticized the Jamaican Government.
“Good morning Chronixx, you’re smiling! No, I’m laughing. I’m laughingat the Jamaica government! And the poor people who applaud them and hang orange and green flags outside their board houses and on trees planted on “capture land”. I’m laughing at this dumb government who have never erected a live music venue in honor of reggae music even though it is the only reason why people is still visiting this beautiful island of bankruptcy. I’m laughing because I know something hat ‘they don’t know’.”
The post prompted a much free will response from Jamaica’s Culture
Minister Lisa Hanna who replied on her instagram saying;
“I love your music and your passion; however, I want to remind you that both yourself and other artistes are benefiting today from the trade agreements now in place for cultural and creative services. Just a moment ago, I concluded a meeting on foreign trade for cultural services, as already many of our cultural goods have zero tariffs for international trade. I have personally called you and left messages on your phone – and never get a response – because I would like to hear your ideas that can be implemented. Stop blaming and lumping ‘all’ politicians together, it is unfair and untrue. Blessed love.”
Maybe his “Access” was not “Granted” in this.
