All men have two women?
This is the view of Cromwell Smith aka Edju En Ka who said he heard those lyrics while attending the BVI Music Festival on May 26, 2012 and is advocating that entertainers performing in the Virgin Islands (VI) should have good values.
Saw was among the performers on Saturday night at the festival and as usual belted out many provocative tunes and "chats" to the audience including the now controversial message.
On his radio talk show Umoja aired last evening May 31, 2012 on a local radio station, referring to a line in Saw’s lyrics “All men have more than 2 woman so women must keep more than 1 man”, Smith stated that if people believe the statement and that is where society is, then the trust between men and women is destroyed and the world is in serious trouble.
The outspoken host added that according to the effectiveness of the performer’s message, the opportunity for men to form a relationship built on the fundamentals that can ensure a healthy relationship is impossible and men will never get married.
“It is an attack on the family structure and on relationships.”
Smith stated that while attending the fest and the above lyrics were being sung, at the same time, he noticed that some women in the crowd started to ponder, “thinking if this statement is true or not, should I try it, what could go wrong?”
He added that the type of lyrics and the things promoted by Saw can lead to a negative effect in the long run for men, families and life on a whole. “People have already been affected by this kind of ideology and philosophy,” said the host.
Entertainers should have positive values
Smith stated that the Government puts lots of money in bringing artists to the country who reflect values that should not be encouraged in the Virgin Islands.
“The whole idea of entertainment in the VI is just looked at as a ‘money thing’ instead of the educational, cultural and spiritual values.”
In relation to some of the young local acts in the VI, he stated that their content and lyrics are very negative. “I’ve heard some positive ones but there are negative ones as well.”
He suggested that if one artist is not capable of giving positive content then another artist should be hired.He said that the local entertainers adapt bad traits from international music performers and they need to know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad.
In giving an example, he said that there are songs on the radio that are promoting very heavily, one night stands.He stated that with the youths of the VI listening to those songs, it can have a negative effect on their behaviours.
“Because of all these factors, the Virgin Islands will be suffering and they can’t connect the suffering with the music. A bunch of young girls getting pregnant, marriages breaking apart, people contracting diseases and society will be of a non-monogamy nature.”
