Morgan Heritage did not back Shaw

Morgan Heritage has come out to explain the Reggae Bring Back Love dubplate it made for Audley Shaw recently. According to the group, though the dubplate was made for Shaw, it was no indication of the group's allegiances. "Morgan Heritage would like to clarify that the dubplate of our hugely popular hit Reggae Bring Back Love was done 'fi Jamaica' as Peetah clearly states in the intro," the release read.

The group has also pointed out that its religious beliefs mean it would not be pulled on to either side of the political divide.

"As Rastafarians, Morgan Heritage does not sit on any side of the political divide. We do not dabble in politics, but like all Jamaicans, we are concerned about some of the things taking place in our beloved country," the release from the group said.

The group explained that it would have done the dubplate for anyone who had a similar message to the one they promote in the song. "The fact that we sing about our ideals of bringing back love and making Jamaica a better place in the song Reggae Bring Back Love, which was recorded 13 years ago and happens to be the same message of anyone today, only speaks to our belief of a better Jamaica and not any political views. "As is the norm on a dubplate, names are called, but everyone knows that this is not an indication of support or personal endorsement and should not be taken as such.

While we wish the campaigners all the best, Morgan Heritage has not taken a position of support for any of the contenders and we do not endorse any politician or any political party," Morgan Heritage said.
