Some years ago, a bit of ridicule might have come his way when he rolled out his red carpet at parties, but now the lanky dancehall artiste Chi Ching Ching can smile at his recent successes.
In recent times, he has been creating waves with his song, Way Up Stay, which also has a remixed version with Popcaan and Beenie Man. Chi Ching Ching was also featured on the remix of rapper Lil Jon’s popular Turn Down For What.
Based on how the tides have turned in his favour, Chi Ching says he is extremely grateful. “Mi haffi give thanks fi weh mi a come from. Mi a come from dancing to slang to carpet, and now mi deh a song. The change is real and the only direction is up,”? he told The STAR.
“When mi done put this package together and put it to the business, dem ago accept it. A long time mi a show the public who Chi Ching Ching is and them finally see it.”
He said he is also very grateful for the support he has been getting.
“Everybody happy fi mi. Anybody weh nuh happy fi mi is who nuh know weh mi a come from. Everybody know when mi get mi first flight go Antigua and when mi get mi first flight go England and buy a car when mi come back,”? he told The STAR.

“Mi haffi give thanks fi mi fans weh keep mi hot throughout the year and friends weh did deh deh from mi pants have tear. Sneakers nuh have no pair, now mi mek it, mi haffi share and mi nah be ungrateful fi mi daddy haffi shed a tear.”

The same month will also see the release of his EP, Chi Ching Ching: The EP. And in the first week of the month, he said he will also be releasing the Way Up Stay Up music video featuring Beenie Man and Popcaan.

He continued: “I never planned it. I just work and see where I was gonna be and the work a put mi inna some marvellous places.”
