“Once a man love and respects a woman, anything is on the table,” says dancehall’s ‘Dolly’ Shenseea, as she spoke with popular American radio personality Angie Martinez on Power 105 about the taboo culture in Jamaica for men doing CUNNILINGUS.

While talking to Martinez about her single ‘Lick’, the conversation pivoted to the island’s cultural perception of the men engaging in the sexual act.

“I guess you gotta be somebody,” Shenseea jokingly said in response to Martinez’s statement about Jamaican men being against the act.

The Blessed singer was quick to share that she has never encountered that resistance on receiving.

“Me? No… but as I said, once a man loves a woman anything is on the table… anything,” Shenseea said.

She also stated that the culture has softened its views on the topic and is more open in that area.

“I feel like people are more open to it now as Jamaicans,” Shenseea continued.

The Loodi hitmaker added that the resistance stems from a stigma that is counter to the revered badman bravado or respectable profile in the culture.

“It’s just the whole stigma, you know? We a all badman and bad gyal, so we don’t wanna do anything that is gonna bring down our ego or make us less or weak,” she shared. “So, I feel like it was just about that. So whatever we were doing behind closed doors was kept behind closed doors,” she added.

The ‘trending gyal’ has been nothing but that since the release of her controversial single and accompanying video for ‘Lick’ with rapper Megan Thee Stallion last Thursday.

‘Lick’ has come in for a severe tongue lashing from many in the Jamaican social space, as well as in the diaspora, for the song’s direction and its lyrics. Despite the criticisms, it has aided the notoriety of the song which is the lead record for her soon to be released debut album ‘Alpha’.

The single currently has over 3.8 million views on her Vevo channel since its January 20 premiere.
