International dancehall artiste Sean Paul has called on Jamaican artistes Jada Kingdom and Stefflon Don to “set a better example” amid a war of war between the two women.
Since the start of the week, the two women have traded insults on social media and followed up with diss tracks aimed at each other.
On Monday, the London-based rapper Stefflon Don released a track titled ‘Dat A Dat,’ which many fans thought included lines directed at Jamaican singer Jada Kingdom.
Kingdom later went live via Instagram questioning if Stefflon Don had an issue with her and why. Fans pointed out that Nigerian superstar Burna Boy and Stefflon Don dated for years before calling it quits. Jada Kingdom, also known as ‘Twinkle’, reportedly dated Burna Boy briefly in June last year.
Kingdom followed up with ‘London Bed,’ a response to Stefflon’s track. ‘Dead Gyal Walking’ and ‘Steff Lazarus’ were also later released from Stefflon and Kingdom respectively.

“Women nuh fi talk so @stefflondon @jadakingdom. Live better my sisters. Doe Follow Di waste dem,” Sean Paul wrote.
He added: “Woman should be warriors yes. But 4 a cause. U should lead the way morally 4 the fam. Men get heated. U calm us down. How can we calm down if y’all doing dat 2. 2 Beautiful black women. Live betta. Set a beta example pls for the culture. Mah beg uno. 4 the kids. 4 the younger females,” the Jamaican singer said.
While Stefflon Don threatened a lawsuit over accusations that Jada Kingdom made in her songs, Kingdom has since declared that the “war” is over, and says she is focused on putting out more music.
