Skillibeng drops new single featuring Ghetto Michael Jackson

It was teased days in advance so you knew something was brewing, but rising dancehall act Skillibeng has taken social media by storm after releasing a new single ‘Clean Everyday’ on Thursday night (July 9).

The braggart track, whose three-minute music video features many a cameo and performance from Jamaica’s self-proclaimed ‘Michael Jackson’, broke the internet as both Skillibeng and Michael became trending topics on Twitter.

By many accounts, Clean Everyday stands well on its own but paired with the confident antics of ‘Michael’, the music video served as an infinite source of jokes and memes.

View this post on Instagram @skillibeng U KNOW DI 100 ENUH MAN JUST A DO THE RIGHT TING TILL DI WORLD OPEN AGAIN Ÿ”¥Ÿ”¥Ÿ”¥Ÿ”¥Ÿ”¥Ÿ”¥Ÿ”¥Ÿ’¯Ÿ’¯Ÿ’¯Ÿ’¯ @mentionrecords @worldwessy @mula_boss_ Ÿ’¯Ÿ¯A post shared by @ jamaica_ghetto_micheal_jackson on Jul 8, 2020 at 8:26am PDT

The video starts with Michael, flanked by beautiful women, seemingly waking from an afternoon nap. He hops out of bed, dancing as he gets dressed and leaves the room to perform throughout a mansion as the women join him by the pool.

For many Jamaicans, the song and its star

provided enough comedy and lyricism to fuel countless tweets as the platform

exploded into conversation.

Others were genuinely happy the dancehall

community had embraced Jamaica’s Michael Jackson and are collaborating with him

in their projects, while the rest said the song did nothing for them.

I’m really happy for Ghetto MJ. Man a live the Jamaican dream. Any time a ghetto yute rise & start make LEGAL money fi feed him family we fi celebrate. Every ghetto yute fi rich. Go chuuu Mykol. Dream big yute!!!— KA Lindsay (@KemziLinzi)

Called Ghetto MJ, the 21-year-old, born Akeem Walker, became a viral overnight sensation as he soared in popularity for his impersonations of the American King of Pop in May.
