Jamaican singer Shaggy left fans stunned after speaking about his real voice.
Known for his 90s hit “Oh Carolina,” Shaggy surprised his fans by revealing what his true voice sounds like offstage.
The 55-year-old Jamaican musician went viral after sharing in a TikTok video how he achieves his powerful tone, famous in songs like “Bombastic” and “Angel.”
“In the Marines, drill instructors would say things like, ‘Alright, boy, drop and give me 20 push-ups, let’s go, boy,’ and I would imitate them as a joke because, you know, it motivated your platoon,” he revealed.
“I just sang with that voice because I thought it was cool, and then suddenly ‘Oh Carolina’ became a hit, and now I was stuck singing all my songs like that,” he confessed.
Fans reacted in shock to the revelation. “So everyone is hearing Shaggy’s real voice for the first time?” one commented.
“I’m baffled. I just found out today that Shaggy’s voice isn’t actually Shaggy’s voice,” another joked.
