In a new interview, Sean Paul has doubled down on his opinion of Drake not giving dancehall the credit it deserves.
According to metro.co.uk, the star hasn't changed his tune on the issue, saying "I think at the time when [‘One Dance’] was popping off, it would have been good for him to actually put accolades towards the whole culture. He’s friendly with a few people in the business in Jamaica and that’s good, I love it. But if he had given more accolades when he was actually making it [...] it would have been cool.”
Last September, Sean said that he felt like Drizzy, Justin Bieber and even Major Lazer weren't giving dancehall and the culture surrounding it enough recognition during the massive resurgence of the sound across mainstream music.
"It is a sore point when [those and other artists] come and do dancehall-orientated music but don’t credit where dancehall came from," Paul told The Guardian at the time. "A lot of people get upset [and] I know artists back in Jamaica that don’t like Major Lazer because they think they do the same thing that Drake and Kanye did–they take and take and don’t credit."
For his part, Drake hasn't yet commented on this topic of discussion.
