Grammy award winning artist Koffee just dropped her official music video for "Pull Up" from her debut album Gifted which is set to be released on March 25th.

Koffee, born Mikayla Simpson, is a Jamaican singer and songwriter, hailing from Spanish Town, Jamaica.  At the age of 17, Koffee gained the attention of the public by posting a video of her performance of  “Legend”,  her original tribute to Jamaica Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt, on social media. In 2018, she was introduced on stage with Cocoa Tea at the Rebel Salute Festival in Kingston. This performance was followed by invitations from Jamaican artists Protoje and Chronixx to join them in live performances and on tours as well. 
 
The "Toast" singer made history with her 2020 Grammy win for Best Reggae Album for her Rapture EP as the youngest and first female artist to win in the category.

After days of rants, memes and jokes on social media following Minister Marion Hall's 3 hour live that sent jabs to the reigning 'Queen of Dancehall' and Grammy Nominee Spice, Shenseea, Jada Kingdom and Ishawna, Marion Hall formerly known as Lady Saw recently posted the following:

"Blessings overflow to you people of God. I will be doing prayers and fasting off social media to seek the lord concerning his will for me moving forward. He has been leading me into his word in a very deep spiritual way, so i want to spend this time alone with him, to not missed what he's saying to me. Thanks to all the prayer warriors who has been holding me up in prayers during this time of spiritual warfare. I want you all to keep this in mind. Being silent dosen't mean you're guilty, afraid, or weak. Sometimes it's just so you can hear more clearly, when God speaks. Blessings overflow to you."

Many have been outraged by the remarks passed by Hall saying this was not the way to get back into dancehall. Naysayers calling her statements hypocritical stating what she was dissing them about were things she's done herself. They have a saying don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. Let's hope the fasting and praying helps.

There has been a lot of trending tension on social media following recent remarks made from Minister Marion Hall formerly known as Lady Saw towards some of the dancehall female artists to include Spice and Shenseea.

The Grammy nominated reigning Queen of Dancehall Spice posted a formal apology to dancehall veteran Tanya Stephens stating the following: "@iamtanyastephens please accept my humble apology, I know you have seen me in past times and have shown me nothing but love but I think I owe you this public apology for being young naive and misled in my younger days. I’m sorry I counteracted your song and came at you for reasons that had nothing to do with me. I was wrong to not have Judged you for myself and rather was listening to Satans Voice. Thank you for being such a beautiful humble veteran and for paving the way for Us women , I love and Respect you for life ?✊?"

The Barbadian singer and fashion mogul, 33, is pregnant, expecting her first baby with rapper A$AP Rocky.

The couple was photographed out in the frigid streets of New York City over the weekend, where Rihanna sported her baby bump while wearing a long pink coat with baggy jeans. Her oversized outerwear fashion was unbuttoned to reveal her growing bump adorned in a gold cross with colorful jewels as her boyfriend beamed by her side

In one of the loving photos, which were taken in Harlem, where A$AP Rocky grew up, the rapper kisses the soon-to-be mom on her forehead as they enjoy an epic stroll outdoors.

Back in May, A$AP Rocky told GQ about his romance with Rihanna, calling her the "love of my life." When asked what it felt like to be in a relationship, he said, "So much better. So much better when you got 'The One.' She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's The One."
