Popular Jamaican dancehall artist Shenseea has stirred controversy online after declaring that she does not believe in divorce, emphasizing the importance of working through relationship challenges rather than opting for separation.
Taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the singer wrote:
“I don’t believe in divorce. We gon’ have to learn to love each other again.”
The statement, though brief, quickly ignited a heated conversation on social media.
While some fans praised Shenseea for promoting commitment and perseverance in relationships, others accused her of hypocrisy, pointing to her status as a single mother.
A portion of the online backlash also centered on concerns that her message could be misinterpreted as encouraging people—especially women—to stay in abusive or toxic marriages.
Social Media Reacts
Critics argued that the singer’s stance oversimplifies complex marital issues, with some commenters stating:
-
“This kind of mindset is dangerous for people in abusive marriages.”
-
“It’s easy to say when you haven’t experienced certain things.”
Others defended her viewpoint, saying it was rooted in a desire to see couples resolve conflicts and restore love.
Shenseea has not issued a follow-up statement or clarification as of the time of writing.
