Rap star Sean Paul has called on Drake to give more credit to Jamaican music.
The 44-year-old rapper, who hails from Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, pointed at Drake's use of dancehall music on 'One Dance' and said the R&B star should have given more credit to the country for the hit single, reported Contactmusic.
"I think at the time when it was popping off, it would have been good for him to actually put accolades towards the whole culture. He's friendly with a few people in the business in Jamaica and that's good, I love it.
"But if he had given more accolades when he was actually making it and said 'this is the music I love', it would have been cool," Paul said.
