I Can Never Be Jealous Of Patoranking – Shank

Popular reggae artiste, Shank spoke to Saturday
Beats about how happy he is that dancehall/reggae
music has improved in the music industry.
The “Julie” crooner told Saturday Beats that, “I feel
happy that finally, there is a platform for reggae
artistes to be seen in the same light as any other
secular act; so it is a win-win situation for me. I can
never be jealous of Patoranking. There is no envy at
all.




I have had my moment in the spotlight and when I
was on top of my game, there was nobody around to
contend with me. Right now, there are a lot of people
doing dancehall music and it has become a
movement. I don’t see it as if only one person is
spearheading the reggae movement. I like the fact
that anybody that sings dancehall music would be
listened to now.

It is not about who the artiste is but it is about the
music. I can never be jealous of Patoranking or any
new kid on the block.”

On his relationship life, Shank said “Where I am right
now psychologically, mentally, emotionally and
work-wise, I don’t need the distraction of an intense
relationship at the moment because a relationship
requires time and effort and I would rather put that
into my music. I don’t have a babymama.

There is none that I know of and that is what I told them
when I was asked if I had a kid at the embassy. I
have been careful but don’t worry, I don’t shoot
blanks; I shoot straight. I have just been very
careful.”
