upset

Since appearing in Kingston City, he has been shunned by Popcaan and the Young Vibes Productions camp as he said they are upset with his role in the video.

Quick Cook, who described himself as a "street yute", is well known in local entertainment circles.

He became known outside that realm after he was featured on the intro for Popcaan's Party Shot, which goes: Quick Cook!/ Wah gwan?/ How di road stay?/ Yaow!/ Di party shot,/ is a good look fry yiy!/ Change yuh eye an fawud quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!/ Yaow!/ Hear mi nuh Quick Cook, tell mi how di ting look!

However, in recent days, Popcaan has been rumoured to have made references to Quick Cook as now being 'fish cook'.

To this, Quick Cook responds: "How yuh a go ask a fish how di party look? Dat nuh sound right! Dem a try stir up something between dem one another an drop me inna di middle."

He said that at times, he was creatively stifled while he was linked to Popcaan and that he had received criticism for his River Stone collaboration with Assassin.

When contacted, DeMarco insisted that he had not set up Quick Cook. "A nuh me style him. a Popcaan style him. Mi feel him pain. Mi ben seh him style mi, but me an him still good."

Quick Cook told The WEEKEND STAR that he was busy working on his 'Fling A Stone' mixtape which will feature tracks such as No I.D., Wine Up Fi It, and Nasty People. The tape is being mixed by DJ Kenny.

"People a guh tek to it. When Quick Cook come, it always different from the average," he said.
