Carlene defends Danielle D.I. in feud with Ishawna5 min read

The lyrical feud between female deejays Danielle D.I. and Ishawna has officially made it to round two. A week after Ishawna responded to Danielle D.I.’s diss track, the ‘Rebel’ deejay returned to deliver another lyrical lashing, accompanied by her cousin, Dancehall Queen Carlene.

Carlene was dragged into the feud last weekend when Ishawna made reference to her in her Headshot diss track. In her song, Ishawna lists all the men in the music industry D.I. has allegedly had sexual relations with including her cousin’s ex-lover, Beenie Man.

Having been thrust into the midst of the battle, Carlene decided to defend her cousin’s honour by lending her vocals to D.I.’s second-round diss track, titled Street Bicycle.

“This is a public service announcement. This is the original Dancehall Queen Carlene,” she says in the song’s intro.
Some social media users were not pleased that Carlene decided to take up an active role in the clash, stating that as a dancehall veteran they expected better.

Carlene, however, feels differently.

She said she did not voluntarily decide to be a part of the feud, but felt compelled to say something after Ishawna mentioned her in Headshot.

Denying claims made by the Equal Rights singer, Carlene told THE STAR that she had to clear the air, as Ishawna’s name was bringing too much unnecessary attention her way.
