Who reigns as queen of the Haitian Music Industry? Shabba, EKIP's lead vocalist said, Bedjine

In a bold declaration during a performance, the lead singer of Compas band EKIP proclaimed Bedjine as the sole Queen of the Haitian Music Industry, HMI. WOYYY!!!!

“They said there is never two queens, Only one,” Shabba announced in Bedjine’s presence, highlighting her role in the sensational duo with K-dilak.

Shabba, the former Djakout musician, reiterated this statement during an interview with online news Juno7 about his group’s upcoming tour in April and May, sparking a flurry of reactions on social media.

While some fans believe Rutshelle Guillaume, another female lead singer, is poised to become a music icon, comparisons between Bedjine and Rutshelle have fueled debates in the HMI community. Some argue that Bedjine’s recent achievements speak for themselves, while others defend Rutshelle’s extensive discography and collaborations.

Let us recall, years ago “Princess” Georgy Metellus, a vocal singer in the group ZIN, once declared herself the only queen of Haitian Compas, adding an intriguing layer to the ongoing discussions about royal titles in the Haitian music scene.

We don’t know if she is both a Queen and a Princess. Woyyyy!
