Conscious reggae artiste Chuck Fenda has sparked controversy with the song Wah Gwaan Pon Di Rock.

Wah Gwaan Pon Di Rock, released June 5 via Juna-Vill Records, is fast gaining popularity due to its lyrics, which double down on a number of issues which he says are affecting ordinary Jamaicans.

However, Chuck Fenda, affectionately called “Di Poor People’s Defender”, says the song should not be interpreted as being political.
