Jamaica still loves Shabba Ranks although they haven’t seen him in many years.
Dancehall icon Shabba Ranks was mobbed by hundreds of fans who turned out at the Norman Manley International airport yesterday (July 16).
Shabba, whose real name is Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon, is in Jamaica to perform on Reggae Sumfest International Night 1. He will share the stage with the likes of R&B sensation Trey Songz, and reggae crooner Tarrus Riley.
