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 "
