Lisa Hanna Advises Chronixx After His Controversial ‘Waste Man’ Statement (Video)
Popular reggae artiste Chronixx has put himself in a bit of hot water after he made a controversial statement on social media.
The Instagram post which has been removed coincided with the visit of US president Barack Obama to Jamaica and seemed to imply that the entertainer was referring to the POTUS as a ‘waste man’.
This is what Chronixx Posted:
“This man … Still have criminal record on the United States and we glorifying some waste man! This man was hunted and imprisoned by our Jamaican government … who some years later, paved a peaceful and safe path for the US president to address as a … “race of good for nothing’s”. That’s why black faces don’t mean anything to rasta anymore”
A few months ago Chronixx also seemingly ruffled the feathers of Culture Minister, Lisa Hanna with his use of the words ‘dumb government‘ in another social media post.
See what the Minister had to say about the artiste in this recent video produced by The Gleaner.
let us try and help this yute,dont beat him dowm, i think its the passion he has inside him for our national hero marcus garvey,am saying it is ok for him to say that but,talk to the yute show him the way we as older ones ok.
joke thing star
Chronixx, you are too brilliant for this my dear. I trust you will reconsider your approach, and allow the world to benefit fully from your talent without hindrance. A word to the wise.
Chronixx maybe did not use the best words, but he still speak truth. JA Gov. needs to grow a little backbone and stop bending over backwards for other governments that really do not serve the interest of the Jamaican people at large. Why is and did the JA Government suck up so much to President Obama? Make him feel welcome, of course, but why did you hurt so many Jamaican people in the process? It just shows once again that the Jamaican government is truly disconnected to the reality of life that many jamaicans face daily. There is music that… Read more »

Chronixx is a mad man
Chronixx makes much sence, as I assume he had already conciderd his thoughts befour conveying them. However I believe that chronixx has the point on how black people worship the ones who are in controled by the oppressors, in other words, we are worshipping the oppressors. The main idea has already been written,”obama a waste man”.
He needs some guidance because most times when these artiste start earning some good money it apparently get to them.Chronixx jus chill and take it easy
Chronix is a jackass…y in the world u want to go to a waste man’s country to make US dollas????…..another point was obama incharge of imprisoning marcus garvey???…was obama the one who placed him in shackles…?? U need to wake up cuz very soon we will see u boarding plane to the waste man’s country….but not if the US embassy read ur comment….better pray they dont c it….damn idiot…..is not everyting gud fi eat gud fi talk…plp say u r intelligent but an intelligent man has to be diplomatic in his response to anyting….u jus made a fool of urself…..
well i agree with the dumb government posts…lol
Lisa Henna advise is more damaging than Chronixx statement. No one remember old Marcus Garvey.
Chronixx has a right to say what he feels. Politicians should expect criticism from all, not everyone follows their politics. If the people in the spot light wether politicians or celebrities can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen, well done Chronixx for standing up for your country shame a few more Jamaicans don’t have the guts to do the same. At least Chronixx speaks about things that are true and is not there to impress anyone least of all the president of the USA.policiticians say far worse things about each other than anything Chronixx has said.
It’s not about being hypocritical, it’s about being intelligent enough to know what has it’s place, we are the same ones who preaches”lick ass until yo can kick it”. Sometimes you jus have to practice humility.
revoke him visa, the singer boy of course…send him back go sweep road…Marcus Garvey was a dam scammer and con man of course, like some of our politicians. i dont care bout a dead man…i live for the living. something is fundamentally wrong if we have to beg fi get im off.
Chronixx stop the waste argument and give the back them visa cuz you deh pon one really high horse. Try no drop off
Unu ppl stop condone him inna wrong doings. Chronixx is too intelligent to make such comment…kmt
Bet you say him haffi apologize. So gweh all who a back the waste comment
When your visa is denied to conto the states look back at what you said

chronixx shared is freedom of views and thoughts just u guys are we all have our rights to our own beliefs it is impossible for everyone to see eye to eye on things that doesn’t make another man thought an things wrong!! Same how some will think its OK to say what he said n some will think there’s something wrong with what he said
She is absolutely right. U never know where life will take u. U have to be careful about the things u say and post.
Everyone has the right to their opinion however certain things you should not ever say publicly I found his remarks very disrespectful and should apologise about it
Chronixx tell dem again nuh apologize to nobody dem all kissing up to U.S, U.S say anything bout Jamaica and we swallow it
He has the right say what he wants to say, freedom of speech. Why is people are all twisted out shape when someone speak what is on their mind. If there is consequences, let him deal with it.
Ok, what is a waste man, it seems that the phrase is used in more than one way?????
Well….them must know….not my prob
Chronixx a wa yuh a try prove? U too nuff easy u self. And go buy a comb
Can’t tell big man what to say chronixx must know he’s a grown man
When You Check The History You Will See That It Was The US Government Along With The NAACP Who Were The Ones That Sabotaged Marcus Garvey In The United States. His Charges Were Actually Set Up Charges. A Plot To Get Him Behind Bars And Eventually Deported Back To Jamaica. The Powers That Be At The Time Saw That The Man Had Much Influence In The Then Traumatized Black Community, Who Were Beginning To Wake Up In Their Masses To Giving Him Their Full Support And Protection. After Marcus Was Deported The Government Of Jamaica At The Time Along With… Read more »
Look who is talking, Lisa whorehanna!! Clean up yuhself gal Lisa, who is obama?? let’s teach the youths of Marcus Garvey, who ones like Obama teach you to hide!!!
Andre Robinson, I leave school in 94 never have I had a Jamaica history subject, all these people believe in is bow down!!!
Telling us to shut up violating our freedom of speech,and if we dont they gonna stop the very food that we eat and you just sit by and let them dweet,the system nuh change a just so Peter Tosh did leff it , its a shytstem a same suh it tan
Miss Hanna with all these negative comments regarding your advice to Chronixx, I guess you are wasting your time. Youths don’t need guidance anymore. Young bird knows firestorm now. smh
Part of the reggae system is opposition of political corruption.
It is true that everyone is free to express his or herself. However, what I find disturbing is that most of our young people are very disrespectful. They have no regard for authority or the office of leadership. It may be true that our Government has issues, but we must be wise and respectful in voicing our displeasure. It may also be true that America has done some wrongs in the past but Obama is not responsible for those things. If we think something or someone is wrong, we are free to express that; but when we get into cursing… Read more »
Chronixx you have freedom of speech,you also have freedom of expression,however if you choose the John The Baptist route,you will have to give up commercialisation,and endorse isolation.Or be an hypocrite like most critics who are not prepare to pay the price for such bravery.My advice,mix diplomacy , truth in temperance,or welcome the wilderness where their is no limit to telling as you see fit.
Real rasta dat u cant blame d bomba chronixx a general
The truth hurt, so what. Lisa who are you, remember where you coming from. The man cant play hyprocrite, he simple has to spit out the truth, unlike the others, pretending.
The people are blind,the visit of Obama isn’t something to get excited bout.
Don’t think he’s madmad,just never say it the correct way
Chronixx, I see you did not educate youself.That is why you made such careless statements. I will not condem you, but will urge you to increase your knowledge before you make certain “Talk” .
Chronixx do u them woman need jah..don’t let them get u down a the devil send them
