Archived: What? Bass In Racy Sexual Social Media Scandal? Now That’s Some Stuff!
While Trinidad and Tobago urban radio station, Boomchampions 94.1FM was busy celebrating their 12th anniversary on Tuesday, well known personality at the frequency, Soca artist Bass, was battling the unkind effects of bad social media publicity. The ‘ If Yuh Stush’ singer started his morning today, posting a disclaimer on his Facebook page, alerting friends, fans and foes to what he assured was merely a vicious attack against his character.
“There has been someone going around from a fake fb profile sending out a video of someone saying it’s me exposing himself in the dark and that I would pay women $$$$ to watch me…..if you get this or know someone that did please know it’s not me at least not in this lifetime or economy. BTW check out my new music ‘BRUK OFF YA HATERS.'”
Bass essentially shrugged off the situation, telling EBUZZTT that an imposter was behind the mayhem. He admitted to being quite the frugal type and said anyone who knows him well enough, would know he wouldn’t spend a cent like that. He told us the situation actually started about two years ago, when his single, “Stush In De Bush” had been released. “My profile was hacked about two years ago. Back then it was somebody on the messaging site, IMO- which I am not a member of. It’s like a messaging app thing and the person had a number – a 420 number. The person was exposing himself and telling women I (Third Bass) would pay money for them to watch it live. I reported it to the police. I called the number in front of the police. The police spoke to the person and the number ended up belonging to somebody that I know. The person is also an artiste whose music doesn’t really get played that much,” said Bass.
He said he wasn’t certain of whether the person was taking revenge. The alleged perpetrator reached out to Bass, denying the situation sometime thereafter and the situation subsequently stopped but now, there seems to be a resurrection of the matter. “What they do is they actually hack females’ accounts and add other females as friends. Since this has been exposed, a lot of people have told me that they received the friend requests and responded only to receive the said messages.” Bass however said many people ignored the messages, knowing fully well that he doesn’t spend a bad cent, especially on that kind of activity.
The impersonated profile.
The entertainer said he will be dealing with the matter privately as he believes his reports to the Cyber Crime Unit on the matter, have yielded no results. He said investigations by one person who’s account was hacked, has led to a a homosexual male in the Couva, Trinidad area. Today, he is advising social media users to change their passwords frequently and monitor their accounts. He said his social media handles have changed to reflect the change of his sobriquet from 3rd Bass to Bass AKA Trilogy and assured that he is not a part of any sexual exploits online.
In recent time, there’s been much online chatter about imposters laying claim to the identities of well known socialites, among them, Trinidad and Tobago Make Up Artist, Angel Cumberbatch. Bass has capitalized on the situation no doubt, having released a brand new single called, “Bruk Off Ya Haters” on the Millbeatz Produced, Bubblerz Riddim. He is also entering the CropOver race, having unleashed a song called, “Bubble on Yuh Girlfriend,” which features Zan and Peter Ram on the Ting A Ling riddim- a production out of Quantum Studios in Jamaica. We’ve definitely gotta listen out for that!

Vybz Kartel To Headline Reggae Sumfest This Year, Alongside Mavado. New Album, ‘God & Time’ Set for June Release.
One of the most influential artists in dancehall history, Vybz Kartel, marks a defining new chapter with his forthcoming album God & Time, slated for release June 5th, 2026.
In recent weeks, dancehall artiste, Vybz Kartel has been receiving some backlash online after sharing videos of himself wearing a bonnet while dancing in his underwear and a robe. The noise increased after he shared it a second time, almost taunting his detractors and making it clear that he is rich and does not care for the unsolicited comments of naysayers. Fast forward days later and like magic, the artiste’s pre-album release publicity stunt ushers in the release of his forthcoming album God & Time, set for a June 5th release. Kartel ain’t no fool.
The upcoming album is symbolic for the artiste who spent 13 years behind bars in Jamaica and was only released in 2024. It is being touted as his most personal and sonically expansive body of work since his release. The album will span genres and features an all star lineup of artistes including, Puerto Rican superstar Farruko, Jamaica’s Skillibeng, and Shenseea, with more artistes to be included.
In a media release, it is highlighted that throughout God & Time, Vybz Kartel moves seamlessly between personal reflections, hard-hitting dancehall anthems, sensual records for the ladies, genre-bending crossover records, and rare moments of vulnerability. It adds that it is inspired by the Jamaican expression “God & Time”—rooted in faith, patience, and destiny—and reflects the artiste’s survival, rebirth, and creative freedom.
The title track evokes the same introspective tone as Kartel’s most streamed post-release hit “God Is The Greatest,” which has surpassed 30 million video views year-to-date.
Produced by longtime collaborator TJ Records alongside Kartel, the album reunites the creative team behind Viking (Vybz Is King) (2015) and King of the Dancehall (2016), which included the RIAA Gold-certified hit “Fever.” God & Time will be released via TJ Records / Vybz Kartel Muzik and distributed by Zojak World Wide.
In support of the new album, Vybz Kartel will headline Reggae Sumfest on July 18th, alongside Mavado, reuniting two dancehall icons whose rivalry defined the genre throughout the 2000s in a landmark moment for Jamaican music and culture.

Denise Belfon Thanks Drake’s ‘OVO’ Team for Inclusion of Her ‘Work’ on New Track.
Canadian rapper, Drake is once again teaming up with Caribbean entertainers, delivering a brand new album called, ‘Maid of Honor,’ which is now available on all streaming platforms. It was one of three albums the artiste simultaneously dropped on May 15th – the other two being ICEMAN and HABIBTI.
One of the singles on ‘Maid of Honor,’ called ‘BBW’ features the work of Trinidad and Tobago entertainer, Denise ‘Saucy Wow’ Belfon – her 1998 track, ‘Work.’
The lyrics, ‘Put Yuh Back in It’ became a trending expression on TikTok in 2020 when it became a challenge on the popular platform. That viral opportunity six years ago, led to the song’s resurgence and Belfon’s name being called by younger generations whose parents, aunts and uncles would’ve more than likely grown up on her music and performances in the Caribbean. Fast forward to 2026, and Belfon is once again enjoying a viral moment as news broke that her song had been sampled by Drake. “Everything is legitimate and I want to thank the team – Fabian Alfonso, a copyright specialist out of Trinidad and Tobago ; He was very instrumental in making this deal become reality, said Belfon in a chat with Ebuzztt, before expressing gratitude to several other instrumental people, and Drake’s OVO team.
In 2022, dancehall artiste, Shenseea and rapper, Megan Thee Stallion also sampled ‘Work’ on the single, ‘Lick.’ Belfon, who lives in New York, had, at that time, attended a release party at a nightclub in New York, where Shenseea acknowledged the Soca artiste’s influence on the new release.
The Maid of Honor album delivers 14 singles and added to T&T’s Denise Belfon, Jamaican artiste, Popcaan is also featured on a single called, ‘Amazing Shape.’
Denise Belfon’s personality and charisma has, for a very long time, made her a fan favorite in the Caribbean. A vocal powerhouse and unique stage performer, she has stood the test of time in the Soca music industry, having created massive soca anthems like ‘Work,’ ‘Wine and Bend Over’ and ‘Wining Queen’ among countless other flavorful singles.
