“Entertainers”don’t be afraid to speak out on the real issues facing our country. It wouldn’t harm your fan base or the fame or the money. Because it affecting yuh fans too.” – M1

M1 has been speaking out on various social issues in Trinidad and Tobago.

He’s always saying it as he sees it, even when the possibility of victimization is apparent. The artiste most still refer to as Menace but who changed his sobriquet to M1 a few years ago, is calling on his cohorts in entertainment to speak out on social issues. A UK travel advisory lists Trinidad and Tobago as a place where there are high levels of violent crime and a place where terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks. Menace, has, in the past few weeks, been expressing his views publicly via social media, almost daily, hoping for some attention on the matters, and redress.

The United Nations yesterday questioned Trinidad and Tobago’s government on its stance on the issue of assisting Venezuelan refugees – this after some 80 or so Venezuelans were sent back to their country by T&T’s immigration. Prior to that, M1 had questioned the issue of illegal immigrants in the country, saying that some of those arriving in Trinidad and Tobago were up to no good and making it clear that the twin island Republic could do without any additional problems.

Now, with much said over the past two months, the Sangre Grande native who released a new single called, ‘Mama’ on the Golden Riddim last month, is calling on his peers in the industry to use their celebrity for the greater good of society.
