From a private hangar at Miami International Airport, Shaggy, known for hits like "Boombastic," coordinated the transport of hundreds of kilograms of aid for Jamaica, which was severely affected by a storm. He stated that his work is personal, as his wife was on the island and saw the immense destruction. Shaggy mentioned that 70% of Jamaica has no electricity and many cell towers are destroyed, which increases the anxiety of residents who cannot communicate. The reggae star decided to use his platform to bring aid, mentioning the hospitals and towns that were severely affected. Alongside him is lawyer Dan Newlin, who emphasizes the importance of providing support to those in need. Shaggy intends to stay in Jamaica for a few days to help assess the situation and coordinate relief efforts, while aid flights continue to deliver essential supplies to the affected communities.

Even Canadian superstar The Weeknd did not remain indifferent. The artist donated $350,000 to the cause, money that will be directed to WFP (World Food Programme) helping around 200,000 Jamaicans with basic needs in this way.
