His fellow dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale even suggested that Samini is no longer in his prime. According to Shatta, Samini was ‘used’ by industry players during his era but did not have any monetary benefits whatsoever.

We know Samini has been into farming for some time now. But about 2 days ago, Samini posted a video on his official Instagram page with the caption: “Looking into some heavy duty agricultural machinery and learning some new and innovative ways of going organic and “chemicals free” for a safer harvest and a healthier meal.”
