Master Bling triggers new dance craze with "LOVE SWEET YU"

Master Bling

Popular dancehall artiste Master Bling has triggered a new dancehall craze with his new single, ‘Love Sweet Yu’.

There is a viral video online of a girl going topless at a dance as she gyrates to his song in the middle of a dance in Grange Hill, Westmoreland. The girl goes topless, and gets upside down in a tree as the selector plays the song over and over again.

“The girls dem love get rude to Love Sweet Yu. Out west, dem start take off dem top and a draw down dem clothes and ah expose demself to the song, is a new craze, ah mad ting.” an elated Master Bling said.

The video was recently posted on YouTube where it generated several thousand views and it seems that the topless trend to the song is going islandwide.

“The same thing happened inna one dance in Portland. A selector from Portland told me that. And a taximan told me that it happened in Bogue in Montego Bay, and it happen again on Tuesday night in Grange Hill during my birthday party. Di girls dem love da song deh,” Master Bling added.

Master Bling believes that it is the raunchy lyrical content combined with the driving dancehall beat that has made the song such a strong aphrodisiac for the female dancehall patrons.He plans to do a video for the song in early January. He said that the song is also doing well on dancehall mix tapes in Panama and Costa Rica.

Earlier this year, Master Bling emerged as a major part of the new wave of Montego Bay artistes who are making a mark in dancehall. He first gained attention with the single Gallis on the Cannon Ball rhythm, which earned him a spot on Dancehall Night at Reggae Sumfest. He is booked to perform on Sting 2014.

No dance, no chance

Drake

Drake thinks his relationship with Rihanna might have worked out if he had been a better dancer. The Hold On, We’re Going Home hitmaker, who split from the 25-year-old singer in May after a string of arguments, joked they might still be together if he was as good a dancer as her other famous ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, while performing at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Woodlands, Texas, last weekend.

The 27-year-old R&B star was called to the stage to show off his moves by his tour companion, Lil Wayne, after the rapper performed his verse of Chris’ track Loyal, according to E! News.

After attempting to recreate Chris’ dance moves, Drake joked: “Maybe I should’ve brought that st out earlier. Maybe I could’ve made that st work with Rihanna a little better.” The 27-year-old star was spotted sitting beside Rihanna in the Griffin nightclub earlier this month, but a source insisted they are just friends.

The insider said: “He and Rihanna still talk. I don’t see it as impossible that they wouldn’t hook up again, but it’s not happening now, but they’re still friendly.”

The Right Now singer fuelled speculation she had rekindled her relationship with the Canadian star, whom she also briefly romanced in 2009 before they started dating again last February, when she cheered him on during his concert in New York City on September 19.

Crash dance man gets to Land"s End

28 July 2013 Last updated at 03:08 ET Ben Hammond danced his way to Land’s End A teacher who was hit by a car while dancing from John O’Groats to Land’s End has completed his challenge.

Ben Hammond, 34, was dancing in a tutu through Polsham near Wells on 3 October when he was struck by a car driven by Alanna Rugg, 25, from Wookey, Somerset.

Both he and his support cyclist were hospitalised and the event was put on hold.

Mr Hammond reached Land’s End on Saturday evening raising thousands of pounds for human rights in Burma.

He said: “Eight years ago I taught for a year in a refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border, and the experience changed my life.

“On returning home I was determined to use my freedom to help those in Burma get theirs.”

Mr Hammond’s support team said the teacher had enjoyed a “big burst of energy” during the final mile and a half of his challenge.

Mr Hammond said: “I have been using dance to symbolise freedom – a freedom we have in the UK but which many in Burma haven’t been able to enjoy, and I came perilously close to losing mine in the process.

“Yet thousands of people across the length and breadth of the country have gone out of their way to support this dream, and by finally finishing I hope I’ll be paying them back in some small way.”

In October 2012 Rugg pleaded guilty to three offences at South Somerset Magistrates’ Court including drinking and driving and was sentenced to a community service order. She was banned from driving for 28 months.

Mr Hammond and his charity have so far raised more than £40,000 through the Dance Britain for Burma challenge.

He hopes to raise a total of £50,000.
