Skippa is a Jamaican dancehall artist known for his cool, laid-back vibe and unshaken presence. he’s become one of dancehall’s most talked-about new voices, He’s the type who stay quiet off stage, calm and collected.

It started online you slid in Skippa’s DMs like, “Come perform at my birthday party.” At first it felt silly a big-name Jamaican artist like him replying to you? but he did, cool as hell: “Send di details.” After that, y’all started chattin’ like y’all always knew each other. and slowly feelings came along.

So when your birthday finally came ’round, you was hype. Till he pulled up late. Like, everybody already hyped, music bumpin’, other artist started performing. while everybody else tried to hype you up. Your spirit was hurt, you wasn’t even tryin’ to hide it.

Then he finally hit the stage..

Lights drop, crowd goin’ crazy, and there he is — Skippa, calm as ever, steppin’ up to the mic. quiet and steady, then reaches up slow and holds your chin.

He say, “Happy birthday, pretty girl.” And right there? You melted.

But then the crowd caught on — they started screamin’, hollerin’, goin’ wild ’cause nobody knew y’all was more than fan and artist. Your moment turned into everyone’s moment.

after your birthday concert was done everyone was at the front taking pictures with the artist and some of the girls was way too up on him but you just walked to the car you came in and he came up to you
