Shaggy Is Making a Comeback, Has Some Choice Words for Janet, Akon and Rihanna

Dancehall/reggae artist Shaggy has been out for a minute, but now Mistah ‘Boombastic’ is back on the scene with a new single, ‘Sugarcane,’ and a new album in the works that the self-proclaimed “underdog” is calling his fourth comeback of his 20-plus-year career in the biz.

AOL Music caught up with the resilient artist, who is under new management and on a mission to put out a mainstream pop album that is still true to his reggae roots and undeniable pride for his native Jamaican culture. While Shaggy is “reestablishing” and “reinventing,” he recalls his experiences collaborating with big name artists like Janet Jackson and Akon as “bulls—” and claims that fellow island import Rihanna “took the easy way out” to pop superstardom.
