Jamaican rap musician Sizzla Kalonji broke the platinum disc DJ Khaled sent him into pieces, and set it on fire. In an Instagram post, the artist claimed that DJ Khaled had disrespected him and other Jamaican artists, alleging there were no pictures of the artists who helped him create a platinum record.

DJ Khaled’s recently launched album ‘God Did’ features Jamaican hip-hop kings like Sizzla, Buju Banton, Capleton, and Bounty Killer. One of the most popular numbers from the song is fused with Jamaican music and culture, and Sizzla thought DJ Khaled did not respect it after the success. He accused DJ Khaled had been using Jamaican culture for years but did not give the recognition it deserved.

Sizzla further added that the record DJ Khaled sent had his name printed so small that it required a magnifying glass to be legible. In a live Instagram session, Sizzla could be seen smashing the record into pieces, removing the pictures of children, and then dumping the pieces into the fire.
