Byron Messia: 'I Got The Biggest Dancehall Song Since 2005'

Byron Messia's hit song Talibans has undeniably made waves this year, but the Jamaican-born Kittitian star's recent claim that it's the "biggest song in Dancehall since 2005" has attracted skepticism and outright disagreement from fans and music professionals alike.

On Monday, the I Hate Byron artist confidently asserted in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts that Talibans was the Dancehall genre's biggest hit since Sean Paul's chart-topping Temperature.

Messia, referencing his No Love album, which featured Govana, Jahshii, Rytikal, and Prince Swanny, mused in one post, "I got a Billboard Album by myself."

"And biggest song in Dancehall since 2005," he added in another post.

"Big song and bad song different," he continued before highlighting it as a worthy successor to Paul's
Temperature, which reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2005.
